QuickLogic and PQSecure Enable Reprogrammable Post-Quantum Cryptography for SoCs

Published

PQSecure IP efficiently maps into QuickLogic eFPGA fabric, delivering field-upgradeable security without costly silicon re-spins.

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QuickLogic® Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) Hard IP, Strategic Radiation Hardened and Antifuse FPGAs, and ruggedized programmable logic solutions, today announced results of a joint technical collaboration with PQSecure™ Technologies demonstrating that PQSecure’s CRYSTAL-1000C post-quantum cryptographic IP core can be efficiently implemented as a reprogrammable function within SoCs using QuickLogic’s eFPGA Hard IP fabric.

The trade study implemented CRYSTAL-1000C, targeting NIST-finalized standards FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), on QuickLogic eFPGA Hard IP built for the Intel 18A process node. The PQSecure core was successfully placed and routed within eFPGA IP cores already used by QuickLogic customers in their ASICs, with sufficient performance for most applications and substantial capacity headroom.

PQSecure’s CRYSTALS line is highly customizable to a broad range of use cases. SoC designers can use QuickLogic’s Aurora programming tools to generate a project-specific resource report and determine the optimal eFPGA configuration for their crypto-agile security needs. SoC designers can right-size the eFPGA fabric for area and power efficiency or use the remaining resources to support higher-performance configurations and side-channel countermeasures such as masking and hiding.

The post-quantum migration is urgent: NIST’s transition timeline deprecates classical algorithms by 2030 and mandates completion by 2035, while the “harvest-now, decrypt-later” threat requires action today. Fixed-silicon cryptographic engines cannot adapt without costly re-spins. A recent study by Markets and Markets Research indicates that the global post-quantum cryptography (PQC) market is projected to grow from $420M in 2025 to over $2.8B in 2030.

With QuickLogic’s eFPGA Hard IP, ASICs/SoCs can update their cryptographic engine in the field by loading a new bitstream – swapping algorithm parameter sets, running hybrid classical and post-quantum modes during transition, or patching side-channel vulnerabilities without new silicon. QuickLogic’s Australis IP Generator produces customer-specific eFPGA Hard IP at leading process nodes as silicon-proven, GDSII-level blocks, delivering superior PPA versus soft eFPGA IP alternatives.

“This collaboration demonstrates the perfect use case for eFPGA Hard IP,” said Trey Peterson, Field Applications Engineer at QuickLogic. “The post-quantum cryptography transition is an evolving process, not a single event. SoC designers who hard-wire their security engines today face costly, avoidable re-spins. We’ve proven that a reprogrammable solution works seamlessly today while leaving the flexibility to adapt tomorrow.”

“PQSecure’s CRYSTAL-1000C-SCA delivers hardware-speed and side-channel protected post-quantum security for resource-constrained platforms,” said Luke Beckwith, Senior Hardware Engineer at PQSecure Technologies. “Our customers need to know their devices will remain secure a decade from now. Pairing our IP with QuickLogic’s reconfigurable fabric future-proofs their hardware without requiring a new tape-out every time the threat landscape evolves.”

A summary of the trade study, including target configuration specifications and architectural analysis, is available at www.quicklogic.com/pqsecure-partnership and www.pqsecurity.com.

Detailed performance and resource-utilization data is available to qualified customers under NDA. Engineers and SoC designers evaluating eFPGA-based post-quantum security solutions are encouraged to contact QuickLogic’s technical sales team.

Datavault AI Founder Nathaniel Bradley Sues Board

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lawsuit Alleges Chairman and CFO Brett Moyer Engineered a Weekend Lockout While Keeping a $90–$100 Million Financing Offer From Independent Directors

Datavault AI Founder Nathaniel Bradley Sues Board

Nathaniel Bradley, the founder whose technology became Nasdaq-listed Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), today filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery asking the court to declare his contested ouster as CEO void and restore him to office. The complaint alleges that Board Chairman and CFO Brett Moyer “suspended” Bradley without a Board vote, cut off his email, and then rushed through a defective Sunday meeting, all while a $90–$100 million financing lifeline sat on the table.

On October 30, two days after Bradley asked the Board to consider removing Moyer as CFO, Moyer “suspended” Bradley on his own perceived authority. According to the complaint, no Board meeting was held and no written consent was circulated. This was done despite Datavault’s own Bylaws, which give only the full Board the power to remove officers.

The lawsuit further alleges that Moyer and certain unnamed directors shut Bradley out one day after he brought the company a $90–$100 million funding offer that could have substantially improved its financial position. Rather than present the offer, Moyer “suppressed, withheld and concealed” it from the company’s independent directors.

Last night, Bradley released the following statement:

“While I remain confident in Datavault AI’s technology, product offerings, and patent-protected innovations, I strongly dispute the legal validity of the Board’s decision to remove me as President and Chief Executive Officer.

“During my tenure, we increased revenue by more than 1,300% in my first year, alongside record trading volumes, and built the foundation for continued growth. We assembled a portfolio of more than

100 patents and pending applications, including newly issued U.S. patents in data valuation, tokenization, and wireless audio. We launched the Information Data Exchange, NIL Vault, and American Political Exchange, and signed licensing and tokenization agreements that bring real-world assets, from carbon credits to gold, copper, and geothermal energy, onto our platforms. We also completed strategic acquisitions, including API Media Innovations, that expanded our reach into digital twins, sports, and live events. We broadened our strategic partnership network, including with IBM,

ServiceNow, and the Department of Energy, and recruited industry-leading talent to the Datavault cause.

“Innovators are often targeted, and I intend to protect my rights and the interests of the Company and its shareholders. I believe the Board’s action jeopardizes the Company’s ability to realize its full potential.”

Jacob Frenkel, Bradley’s lead counsel and a former SEC enforcement lawyer and federal prosecutor, said:

“The company’s groundbreaking and cutting-edge technologies are a function of Mr. Bradley’s brilliance and vision. As a corporate leader, Mr. Bradley has a long-standing commitment to best practices in corporate governance.”

Mr. Bradley puts his investors first. When you’re out building and innovating and those you think you can trust decide to stage a corporate coup, the only place for relief is in court. Mr. Bradley will continue to fight for the shareholders and against those who put their own interests ahead of the company’s stakeholders.”
