ArgusNPU - PQC-based Secure Edge AI Processor
Candidate for:EE Awards - Most Leading-Edge Startups
As the quantum era approaches, traditional encryption faces growing risks of obsolescence. Security threats to AIoT devices and defense applications are rising rapidly. Jmem Tek is dedicated to developing innovative hardware security solutions that ensure the highest level of protection for chip design and data integrity, enabling endpoint devices to defend against quantum-era cyber threats.
Our " ArgusNPU - PQC-based Secure Edge AI Processor” is the world’s first post-quantum secure edge AI inference platform. It integrates NIST-compliant PQC algorithms and a lightweight AI engine to enable real-time encryption during AI inference. With a built-in, unclonable chip identifier (PUF) and hardware-level protections against OTA and DRAM-based attacks, ArgusNPU delivers full-stack security and performance. The system is ready for deployment in defense, UAVs, edge AI, smart surveillance, and critical infrastructure.
Key Features:
1. Real-time Sensor Data Encryption
Instantly encrypts image and sensor data to prevent unauthorized interception or extraction from edge devices.
2. Post-Quantum Secured Remote Model Updates
Integrates post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms with built-in hardware acceleration to encrypt and verify model updates in real time, effectively protecting against tampering or malware injection.
3. On-Chip Encrypted DRAM Storage
Encrypted DRAM Storage protects stored DRAM data mitigating risks of data leakage, extraction, or reverse engineering, addressing key security gaps in traditional chip architectures.
4. Lightweight On-Device AI Inference in Encrypted Environments
Supports efficient AI-based object recognition (e.g., people, vehicles, objects) directly on the device, ensuring privacy and computational integrity within a secure runtime environment.
