The National Security Agency (NSA) introduced the Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (CNSA 2.0) to establish quantum-resistant cryptography standards.
Microchip Technology developed the MEC175xB family of embedded controllers with immutable post-quantum cryptography directly in hardware.
MEC175xB controllers support CNSA 2.0-compliant cryptographic techniques approved by NIST and feature secure boot options for enhanced system integrity.
The controllers, powered by an Arm Cortex-M4F processor, offer 480 KB of SRAM, I3C host/client functionality, and USB 2.0 interface for versatile connectivity in applications.
