Keep Firmware Signing Ready for Algorithm Evolution
Long-life devices and AI servers should prepare for post-quantum migration while retaining Secure Boot and firmware verification. LMS (Leighton-Micali Signature) is stateful and requires strict usage control. Ciot CodeSign can evaluate ECDSA, LMS / HSS, and ML-DSA with KMS and HSM by project.
ECDSA + LMS
For current Firmware Trust; confirm HSS when a hierarchical scheme is required.
ECDSA + ML-DSA
Evaluate dual-track migration and signing-service changes by product lifecycle and platform capability.
Caliptra 1.x / 2.x
Confirm algorithms, parameters, and integration scope by chip and validation requirements.
Caliptra versions, PQC parameters, and HSM support must be confirmed for the target chip, verifier, and project.
