    Architecture Summary

    Lightweight RoT Technical Highlights

    • <25K gate ASIC footprint, a fraction of full RoT subsystems
    • 128-bit security strength 
    • Hash performance data in product brief
    • APB/AXI, SPI & UART interfaces (customisable for your SoC)  
    • IJTAG support

    Full RoT Subsystems Don’t Fit Constrained SoCs

    Most root of trust solutions assume you have silicon area to burn.

    If you’re designing a constrained IoT, edge or automotive ECU, a heavyweight RoT blows your gate budget before you’ve added application logic.

    And bolting on an external TPM adds cost, board space and a new attack surface.

    QRoot Lite — Security with Silicon Overhead

    • QRoot Lite delivers secure boot, measured attestation, sealed storage and key management in under 25,000 gates. Immutable hardware design, side-channel protected by design, and built to the TCG MARS specification.
    • Integration guidance and compliance documentation included.
    • From security architecture to and tape-out, expert support through every stage of silicon development including system certification.
    Ultra-Small Footprint

    <25K gates — designed from the ground up for area-constrained SoCs, MCUs, sensor nodes and chiplets. No bloat, no compromise.

    Ascon Lightweight Crypto

    Co-designed with BIT/TCG. NIST lightweight cryptography standard — purpose-built for constrained environments.  

    Immutable & Side-Channel Protected

    Hardware-based measurement and attestation that can’t be modified by software. Side-channel resistance built into the architecture.

    Built For Security-Critical Silicon

    Proven silicon IP and embedded software, built for real world scenarios.
