Xiphera and iWave Global have entered into a collaboration to combine Xiphera’s advanced cryptographic solutions with iWave’s extensive portfolio of Altera FPGA-based boards and solutions
As part of this partnership, Xiphera will leverage iWave’s modules, development kits, SmartNIC solutions, and COTS modules to implement hardware-based cryptographic security solutions for scenarios such as secure network connectivity. This allows customers to build secure, high-performance hardware solutions on Altera FPGAs, powered by Xiphera’s optimised IP cores and iWave’s FPGA platforms.
Xiphera specialises in hardware-based security solutions implemented as pure digital logic for FPGAs and ASICs. The company offers standardised and quantum-resistant security solutions designed for industries where reliability, high performance, and minimized attack surface are critical. Xiphera solutions include implementations of security protocols such as MACsec and IPsec, as well as the latest Post-Quantum Cryptography standards.
iWave provides FPGA System on Modules (SoMs), COTS modules such as 3U VPX and PCIe cards, and a growing portfolio of SmartNIC solutions. Its products are built around cutting-edge FPGAs including Agilex 3, Agilex 5, Agilex 7, Agilex 9, Arria 10, and Stratix 10 – facilitating innovation across a wide range of applications. This includes technical support during evaluation, ODM design services such as system design, carrier card development, thermal simulation and certifications.
“Xiphera’s cryptographic IP, combined with iWave’s boards and solutions on the extensive portfolio of Altera FPGAs, enables developers to build and accelerate secure, high-performance solutions on Altera FPGAs. This collaboration highlights the strength of our ecosystem and demonstrates how Altera technology can accelerate innovation in these applications,” said Mark Moran, Director of Dev Kits and Partners, Altera.
Both Xiphera and iWave serve industries such as industrial, automotive, aerospace, defence, and IoT, where security, performance, and long product lifecycles are essential. This shared industry focus creates clear synergies: Xiphera’s advanced cryptographic IP cores complement iWave’s boards and solutions, offering customers integrated solutions that are both secure and practical to implement.
“Working with iWave supports our mission to deliver secure and high-performance security solutions in an accessible format. iWave’s extensive experience in FPGA platforms perfectly complements our expertise in security,” added Tommi Lampila, CRO of Xiphera. “By leveraging Altera technology alongside iWave’s platforms, we are able to offer even more robust and secure solutions. We are excited to deliver high-value solutions based on this collaboration to our customers.”
“This partnership between iWave and Xiphera enables our customers to adopt advanced security solutions with confidence,” said Tawfeeq Ahmad, Director of Marketing, iWave. “Xiphera’s extensive expertise in security and cryptography adds strong value to iWave’s Altera FPGA–based boards and solutions, especially with the growing need for robust edge security.”
Xiphera will showcase its PQC demo on iWave’s Agilex 5 SoM Evaluation Kit at Altera Innovators Day on 30th September in San Jose, California.
