Lattice Semiconductor has released version 5.0 of its Lattice Sentry solution, establishing the industry’s first post-quantum cryptography (PQC)-enabled Platform Firmware Resilience (PFR) and attestation solution for AI infrastructure, the company says. The new version delivers CNSA 2.0-aligned, NIST-compliant security across AI data centers and critical infrastructure, providing system designers with a validated path to quantum-resistant protection. “AI infrastructure and the threat landscape are evolving rapidly,” said Mamta Gupta, VP, Business Development, Compute & Communications, Lattice Semiconductor. “Customers no longer have to choose between security today and quantum readiness. Lattice Sentry delivers both.”
Lattice Sentry Enables CNSA 2.0-Aligned, NIST-Compliant Post-Quantum Security
Lattice Sentry v5.0 establishes the first platform firmware resilience (PFR) solution incorporating post-quantum cryptography, extending security measures from the silicon level to encompass an entire platform security stack. This advancement addresses a growing vulnerability. Platform firmware is now a primary target for attackers, according to Lattice Semiconductor. The new version delivers NIST SP800-193-compliant protection for BIOS, baseboard management controllers and other board firmware, enabling detection and autonomous recovery from potential breaches.
The solution’s alignment with CNSA 2.0 combines the company’s CNSA 2.0-compliant field-programmable gate array (FPGA) portfolio with AMI’s platform management software, creating an integrated security solution. Crypto-agility is built in through anti-rollback protection, secure firmware updates and key provisioning, alongside both post-quantum and classical cryptographic algorithms. Specifically, the system supports ML-DSA, LMS and XMSS for authentication, ML-KEM for key exchange, and LMS and XMSS hash-based signature verification for long-term cryptographic agility.
Hardware attestation and identity are central to the system, using the Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) for device attestation across servers and rack infrastructure. A Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE) anchors cryptographic identity and measurement, bolstering supply chain and platform integrity, while multi-device attestation extends to disaggregated rack environments.
Lattice Sentry also incorporates AMI Tektagon, an end-to-end framework for PQC-enabled provisioning, attestation, firmware updates, and lifecycle management, alongside pre-validated silicon and software. Demonstrations of the solution, including flash-less boot architectures and rack-scale management, will be available at the OCP Global Summit 2026, October 13-15, in San Jose, California.
AI infrastructure and the threat landscape are evolving rapidly. Platform firmware has become a primary attack vector, and the quantum era will upend decades of security assumptions.
