## Products & services

- **JPUF** — PUF IP derives device-specific identity and transient hardware keys from semiconductor variations; includes error correction and anti-aging measures.
- **JCrypt** — Hardware cryptography accelerator supporting ML-KEM, ML-DSA and traditional algorithms; specified implementations have NIST CAVP validation.
- **JShield** — Hardware defenses against side-channel analysis and fault injection, including protection of cryptographic engines.
- **JRoot** — Root-of-trust architecture combining JPUF, JCrypt and JShield for identity, cryptography and integrity checks.
- **Zanker** — Security chip combining PUF, post-quantum algorithms and side-channel protection; NIST A7290 names Zanker as the operating environment.
- **IP licensing** — Customizable semiconductor security IP for integration into customer designs.
- **IC design services** — Custom chip development from front-end architecture to back-end implementation, including RISC-V and security module integration.
