Post-quantum PCIe HSM

ATL PCIe hardware for protected post-quantum key generation, custody, and cryptographic operations inside a defined hardware boundary.

Hardware scope

Keep sensitive key operations out of application memory.

The HSM provides a hardware-backed boundary for applications, wallets, and blockchain services that need post-quantum key operations.

Drivers, service interfaces, policy, backup, and availability are designed as part of the deployment rather than treated as an isolated card installation.

Algorithm support

The current hardware and software stack supports the NIST post-quantum standards used for key establishment and digital signatures.

  • FIPS 203: ML-KEM key establishment
  • FIPS 204: ML-DSA digital signatures
  • FIPS 205: SLH-DSA digital signatures

Key boundary

Applications request an approved cryptographic operation while protected key material remains inside the HSM boundary.

  • Hardware-backed key generation and custody
  • Policy-controlled signing and key operations
  • Separation between application logic and key material

System integration

The PCIe card connects to a host service that exposes only the operations required by the wallet, blockchain, payment, or identity application.

  • PCIe host integration
  • Driver and service API layer
  • Wallet, blockchain, and payment-system connectivity

Deployment controls

A production design includes availability, policy administration, recovery, firmware, and operational verification around the hardware.

  • Operator roles and approval policy
  • Backup and recovery procedure
  • Health monitoring, upgrade, and failover planning

Technical note

Standards statement

Algorithm support is separate from independent product certification or cryptographic-module validation. Certification status should be stated for the exact hardware, firmware, and deployment profile under review.

Define the requirement and deployment boundary.

ATL can scope this area as a focused component, an integration, or part of a complete engineering program.
