BTQ Achieves First QCIM Milestone, Validates Post-Quantum Crypto

BTQ Technologies Corp. announced the successful completion of the first technical milestone in its multi-year QCIM collaboration with ITRI and ICTK Co., Ltd. This achievement validated the QCIM core within a TSMC 28-nanometre design environment, demonstrating its ability to accurately and efficiently accelerate NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (FIPS 203, 204, 205). The program will now advance to module-level integration, verification, and validation, with BTQ expecting to ship test chips to key customers and strategic partners by year-end for further evaluation.
