Quantum computing harnesses quantum mechanics to deliver huge leaps forward in processing power, but it also has the potential to render today's public key cryptography useless. This has led NXP to participate in the development of new cryptography algorithms, standards and migration paths. These new standards will secure today's classical computing platforms against emerging quantum computing threats.
RSA and ECC public key standards, which are foundational to today’s internet security, are vulnerable to threats from quantum computing. Post-quantum cryptography algorithms like Crystals-Kyber, Crystals-Dilithium, Sphincs+ and Falcon can run on classical computer hardware found in devices we use today and do not require a quantum computer. In 2022, NIST announced the standardization of these algorithms.
The migration to post-quantum cryptography presents significant challenges for resource-constrained embedded devices. Read on and learn how NXP ensures cryptographic agility is considered from the beginning, leading the way for an efficient and secure digital future for embedded devices in the post-quantum era.
Powerful quantum computers can tackle incredibly complex tasks, but they could also impact society's ability to secure the IoT, vehicles and other devices. Some of the potential threats include:
The race is underway to create new crypto standards to protect data and communications from threats posed by quantum computers.

Protect critical infrastructure with NXP’s PQC-ready solutions. Future-proof your security today.
As quantum computing advances, NXP is leading the way in securing the future. Our PQC strategy is not an afterthought - it’s a foundational element of our security architecture. We integrate PQC where it matters most: at the hardware root of trust, ensuring platform security from power-on to end-of-life. This enables critical security use cases such as fast secure boot, secure debug and update, real-time message signing, authentication and encryption for secure communications, and more.
We don’t just enable PQC - we build it into our security strategy across industrial, IoT, automotive, mobile, and secure identity markets. This unified approach simplifies migration and helps ensure crypto agility for the future. Explore our PQC-secure products:
