- Industry-first testing capabilities addresses the demand for
improved security in the post-quantum era
- Enables device and chip vendors to identify and fix hardware
vulnerabilities in the design cycle
- Supports testing of the latest post-quantum cryptography
algorithms as selected by NIST
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), has announced an
industry-first automated solution designed to test the robustness
of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This latest addition to
Keysight Inspector is a notable expansion of the comprehensive
platform that helps device and chip vendors identify and fix
hardware vulnerabilities.

Quantum computing is designed to substantially accelerate
complex calculations. This development will inevitably threaten
existing encryption technologies. Algorithms like RSA and ECC,
proven and robust in the current conventional computing era, could
be easily circumvented. As the industry looks to remain resilient
both now and in the future, this means developing new PQC
encryption algorithms. This will be important for applications
where encrypted data is captured on the assumption it can be
decrypted later. However, new technologies assumed to be resilient
against post-quantum attacks may be vulnerable to existing
hardware-based attack methods.
Keysight Inspector, part of the company’s recently acquired
device security research and test lab Riscure, addresses this
challenge. The Keysight Inspector device security testing platform
can now be used to test the implementations of the Dilithium
algorithm, one of the PQC algorithms selected by NIST. For adopters
of this algorithm in hardware, this allows designers to verify that
products are secure against these threats. The test solution will
also be necessary for government institutions and security test
labs that want to verify the strength of third-party products.
With ongoing standardization, Keysight expects dozens of new
security algorithms to become available for multiple applications
and industries. Ultimately, these algorithms will need verifiable
implementations. Keysight will provide the necessary test tooling
in addition to certification services through Keysight
Inspector.
In addition, Keysight Inspector can also test the chips and
analyze the silicon design before implementation by simulating the
hardware code pre-silicon. Riscure has been working with PQShield,
the leading developer of PQC solutions, to conduct both pre- and
post-silicon analyses of their products.
Dr Axel Poschmann, Vice President of Product at PQShield,
said: “Keysight will help us verify the robustness of our
implementations at an early stage. Building on our original work
with Riscure within the Keysight portfolio is exciting and we are
looking forward to continuing this journey.”
Marc Witteman, Director of the Device Security Research Lab
at Keysight, said: “Post-quantum resilience does not guarantee
total security. We have observed incidents when the latest
post-quantum encryption technology suffers from hardware-based
threats. With this technology being implemented at a larger scale,
the need for comprehensive testing becomes apparent. We are
addressing this need by adding post-quantum algorithm testing
capability to the Keysight Inspector solution, our comprehensive
device security testing platform.”
Keysight will provide live demonstrations of the Keysight
Inspector hacking a PQC implementation running on a popular
processor at booth 4418 during the upcoming RSA Conference in San
Francisco.
