Podcast EP290: Navigating the Shift to Quantum Safe Security with PQShield’s Graeme Hickey
Dan is joined by Graeme Hickey, vice president of engineering at PQShield. Graeme has over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry creating cryptographic IP and security subsystems for secure products. Formerly of NXP Semiconductor, he was senior manager of the company’s Secure Hardware Subsystems group responsible for developing security and cryptographic solutions for an expansive range of business lines.
Dan explores the changes that are ahead to address post-quantum security with Graeme, who explains what these changes mean for chip designers over the next five to ten years, Graeme explains that time is of the essence, and chip designers should start implementing current standards now to be ready for the requirements in 2030. This process will continue over the next five to ten years.
Graeme describes the ways PQShield is helping chip designers prepare for the post-quantum era now. One example he cites is the PQPlatform-TrustSys, a complete PQC-focused security system that provides architects with the tools needed for the quantum age and beyond. Graeme also discusses the impact of the PQShield NIST-ready test chip. Graeme describes what chip designers should expect across the supply chain as we enter the post-quantum era.
