S3SSE2A
Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
- 2026 Best of Innovation in Cybersecurity
- 2026 Honoree in Embedded Technologies
Samsung’s S3SSE2A is the industry’s first embedded security chip to feature hardware-based Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) - providing powerful protection against future quantum computing threats. As quantum computers grow in capability, they could break traditional encryption, putting sensitive personal and enterprise data at risk. S3SSE2A is designed to prevent that by securely processing and storing data directly on the chip using advanced cryptographic algorithms endorsed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This hardware-level protection goes beyond software-only solutions, delivering long-term security and system integrity. It also supports secure device authentication and encrypted communication—ideal for mobile, IoT, and connected devices where security is essential. Certified to CC EAL6+, the highest level of security assurance in the industry, S3SSE2A withstands both physical and digital attacks. By embedding quantum-resilient encryption within the silicon itself, Samsung enables designers to build smarter, safer systems ready for the next era of connected intelligence.
