TUMCREATE, a research arm of the Technical University of Munich, is spearheading the development of an open-source RISC-V processor with integrated post-quantum security as part of the QUASAR-CREATE program. This initiative, which involves a consortium of international universities and research institutions, aims to enhance the security and resilience of emerging technologies against quantum computing threats. The three-and-a-half-year program will focus on creating a secure processor that can withstand quantum attacks, addressing the growing concern of cryptographic migration in the face of advancing quantum capabilities. With post-quantum security integrated into the processor, the need for urgent planning and migration to quantum-resistant cryptography is underscored1. This development matters to practitioners as it highlights the increasing urgency of preparing for a post-quantum world, where cryptographic systems must be able to resist quantum computing attacks.
TUMCREATE to Develop Open-Source RISC-V Processor with Integrated Post-Quantum Security
⚠️ Critical Alert
Why This Matters
Quantum developments from post-quantum narrow the timeline on cryptographic migration — PQC planning urgency increases.
