Quantropi will demonstrate four quantum-secure IoT solutions live at embedded world North America 2026, beginning September 22-24 at the Anaheim Convention Center’s Booth 6808. The company’s software-defined capabilities, TRNG, Secure Boot, Secure Network, and Application Security, are designed to modernize security for embedded systems without hardware redesign or platform replacement, Quantropi says.
These solutions address a critical need as Executive Order 14409 sets a December 31, 2030 deadline for key establishment regarding post-quantum migration, impacting not only federal contractors but also IoT and embedded suppliers. Quantropi’s approach enables practical adoption of post-quantum cryptography for resource-constrained environments.
QiSpace Platform Enables Software-Based Quantum Security for IoT
Quantropi addresses this challenge with its QiSpace platform, showcasing four software-defined solutions at embedded world North America 2026, booth 6808 in Exhibit Hall B. Quantropi’s TRNG, or True Random Number Generator, extracts randomness from timing jitter already present in standard processors, ranging from Cortex-M0+-class microcontrollers to high-performance embedded systems. Tested across more than 100 million samples, the TRNG is architected for NIST SP 800-90B and engineered to meet the new FIPS 140-3 Entropy Source Validation requirements for cryptographic key generation.
This capability is particularly crucial because FIPS 140-3 raises the bar for acceptable randomness in cryptographic systems. Beyond randomness, the QiSpace platform offers Secure Boot, delivering quantum-secure firmware validation that integrates with Arm TrustZone and TF-M, and extends to secure over-the-air updates. Secure Network protects edge-to-cloud communications by integrating IoT-optimized post-quantum cryptography for Mbed TLS and OpenSSL, preserving existing networking stacks.
Finally, Application Security provides a crypto-agile SDK with both NIST-standardized and proprietary algorithms, optimized for resource-constrained environments. According to Quantropi, “QiSpace for IoT provides post-quantum asymmetric and symmetric cryptographic functions, plus high-quality random numbers, in a crypto-agile design.” The platform supports major chipset ecosystems including STM32, Renesas, and Microchip, enabling practical adoption across a wide range of embedded applications and allowing manufacturers to strengthen security while preserving existing development investments. Quantropi emphasizes that their approach delivers “quantum-secure products on the hardware and infrastructure you already use — no specialized hardware, no silicon redesign, and no disruption to the value your products deliver today.”
TRNG Extracts Validated Randomness from Existing Microcontrollers
Manufacturers facing impending post-quantum cryptographic standards can now leverage existing microcontroller infrastructure, as Quantropi showcases a software-defined True Random Number Generator (TRNG) at embedded world North America 2026. This approach bypasses the need for dedicated hardware random number generators, a significant advantage for long-lifecycle devices. Quantropi can provide the necessary ESV documentation for customers pursuing FIPS certification, streamlining the compliance process.
This technology is crucial because devices deployed may remain operational well into the quantum computing era, making data harvested now vulnerable to future decryption. This flexibility positions manufacturers to lead the transition toward quantum-safe security and meet evolving industry expectations.
Secure Boot Integrates with Arm TrustZone for Device Integrity
This software-defined approach delivers firmware validation that can operate independently or alongside Arm TrustZone and Trusted Firmware-M, extending protection to over-the-air updates and cloud-based firmware signing processes. Constrained devices, often lacking dedicated security hardware, gain end-to-end protection through lightweight, PSA-compliant software. The company’s Secure Boot solution addresses a growing need for robust device security throughout the entire firmware lifecycle, without necessitating additional hardware complexity. Quantropi explains that “Security starts before an application executes,” highlighting the proactive nature of their approach.
The platform is validated by organizations such as NATO DIANA and Siemens, and is backed by 13 granted patents and more than 45 peer-reviewed publications, delivering standards-based quantum-secure cryptography purpose-built for IoT and embedded systems. Attendees at the Anaheim Convention Center can see the integration in action and begin a free QiSpace for IoT trial.
Secure Network Hardens Edge-to-Cloud Communication with Post-Quantum Cryptography
Manufacturers preparing for stringent post-quantum cryptography requirements now have a software-defined option for securing edge-to-cloud communications. Quantropi is demonstrating its Secure Network solution at embedded world North America 2026, enabling manufacturers to harden connections between embedded products and cloud platforms without overhauling existing networking stacks, according to the company.
The urgency to adopt these measures stems from Executive Order 14409, which mandates key establishment by December 31, 2030, and extends beyond federal contractors to encompass the broader IoT and embedded supplier ecosystem. Quantropi’s approach addresses the unique challenges of embedded systems, where resource constraints, long lifecycles, and distributed architectures often complicate cryptographic upgrades.
