(Hsinchu, Taiwan, March 3rd ,2025) eMemory Technology Inc., a global leader in embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) solutions, and its subsidiary PUFsecurity, a pioneer in Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)-based security IP, today announced the launch of the world’s first PUF-based Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) solution. This groundbreaking innovation combines eMemory’s cutting-edge NeoPUF technology with advanced PQC algorithms to deliver unparalleled security for the next generation of computing, safeguarding devices against the emerging threats posed by quantum computing.
As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic systems, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), face increasing vulnerability to quantum attacks. In response, eMemory and PUFsecurity have developed a forward-looking solution that leverages the inherent randomness and uniqueness of PUF technology alongside PQC algorithms, including Kyber (ML-KEM) for key encapsulation and Dilithium (ML-DSA) for digital signatures. By using PUF-generated randomness as the seed for PQC within PUFsecurity’s crypto coprocessor (PUFcc), which features a built-in hardware root of trust (PUFrt), this innovation ensures resilient protection against quantum threats while maintaining efficiency and scalability for modern applications, from cloud computing to IoT devices.
This groundbreaking PUF-based PQC solution enables on-chip generation of quantum-resistant keys without relying on external key injection. By harnessing NeoPUF’s quantum-tunneling mechanism, which exploits natural silicon variations to produce highly random and unclonable identifiers, this technology provides a secure foundation for key generation, storage, and authentication. This eliminates vulnerabilities associated with traditional key provisioning processes and offers a streamlined, cost-effective path to quantum-safe security.
“We are thrilled to introduce the first PUF-based PQC solution, a milestone that positions eMemory and PUFsecurity at the forefront of securing future computing,” said Charles Hsu, founder of eMemory and PUFsecurity. “As the threat of quantum computing looms, eMemory and PUFsecurity have joined forces to deliver a proactive, hardware-based approach that not only meets today’s security needs but also prepares our partners and customers for tomorrow’s challenges.”
The launch comes at a critical time, as governments and industries worldwide accelerate efforts to standardize PQC to counter “harvest now, decrypt later” threats, where sensitive data encrypted today could be decrypted by quantum computers in the future. This PUF-based PQC solution addresses these concerns by embedding quantum-tunneling NeoPUF and next-generation quantum-resistant cryptography directly into the silicon, ensuring data protection across the device lifecycle.
“Security is the cornerstone of the connected world, and our new PUF-based PQC solution sets a new standard for trust and resilience,” added Michael Ho, President of eMemory. “By combining our expertise in embedded memory with PUFsecurity’s leadership in hardware security, we are empowering chip designers to build quantum-safe systems with confidence.”
Available now, this solution is designed for seamless integration across multiple foundry platforms, offering flexibility for applications in AI, automotive, cloud infrastructure, and beyond. eMemory and PUFsecurity invite industry partners to explore how this innovation can enhance their security strategies and prepare them for the quantum era.

力旺與熵碼推出全球首款結合PUF技術的後量子加密方案，確保未來計算安全
(台灣新竹, 2025年3月3日) 全球嵌入式非揮發性記憶體（eNVM）解決方案的領導廠商力旺電子，與旗下專注於PUF（物理不可複製功能）安全IP的子公司熵碼科技，今日正式推出全球首款結合PUF技術的後量子加密（PQC）解決方案。此突破性創新結合了力旺領先業界的NeoPUF技術與先進的PQC演算法，為下一代計算設備提供前所未有的安全性，抵禦量子計算發展帶來的新興威脅。
隨著量子計算技術的進步，傳統加密系統（如RSA與橢圓曲線密碼學ECC）正面臨日益增長的量子攻擊風險。為此，力旺與熵碼攜手開發了一套前瞻性的安全解決方案，結合PUF技術的隨機性與獨特性，並支援後量子密碼（PQC）演算法，包括用於金鑰封裝的Kyber（ML-KEM）與用於數位簽章的Dilithium（ML-DSA）。該方案透過熵碼的PUFcc加密協處理器中內建的PUFrt硬體信任根，利用PUF所產生的隨機數作為PQC所需的根密鑰，確保在應對量子威脅的同時，維持現代應用如雲端運算、物聯網（IoT）等領域所需的高效能與可擴展性。
這項突破性的PUF技術與PQC整合方案，能夠在晶片內直接產生抗量子金鑰，無需依賴外部金鑰注入。其核心技術NeoPUF採用量子穿隧機制，透過半導體製程中的天然隨機變異，生成高度隨機且無法複製的識別碼，為金鑰生成、儲存與認證提供安全基礎。此技術消除傳統金鑰配置過程中的安全漏洞，以高效且具成本效益的方式實現量子安全防護。
「我們很高興推出全球首款整合PUF技術的PQC解決方案，這是力旺與熵碼在計算安全領域的重要里程碑。」力旺與熵碼創辦人徐清祥表示：「隨著量子計算威脅迫在眉睫，力旺與熵碼攜手提供一種積極且基於硬體的安全防護，不僅滿足當前的資安需求，更協助我們的合作夥伴與客戶應對未來挑戰。」
此次產品發表正值關鍵時刻，全球政府與產業界正加速推動PQC標準化，以應對「先竊取，後解密」的潛在風險，即今日加密的敏感數據可能在未來被量子電腦破解。本次推出的PUF技術PQC解決方案，直接將量子穿隧的NeoPUF與新一代抗量子計算攻擊的後量子加密技術嵌入晶片內，確保設備生命週期中的數據安全。
「安全是連網世界的基石，而我們的PUF技術PQC解決方案樹立了新的信任與韌性典範。」力旺總經理何明洲補充道：「透過結合力旺在嵌入式記憶體領域的專業，以及熵碼在硬體安全方面的技術領導力，我們幫助晶片設計者輕鬆打造量子安全系統，確保未來的安全性。」
目前，該解決方案已全面上市，可無縫整合至多家晶圓代工廠的製程平台，為AI、汽車電子、雲端基礎設施等應用提供高度靈活性。力旺與熵碼誠邀業界夥伴共同探索此創新技術，強化資安策略，迎接量子時代。
