Secure-IC Strengthens Security Evaluation with Analyzr™: Advanced Testing for Post-Quantum Readiness
Secure-IC’s PESC Approach & Laboryzr Legacy
As cyber threats evolve, Secure-IC continues to lead the industry with its PESC (Protect, Evaluate, Service & Certify) approach, providing end-to-end security solutions. A key pillar of this strategy is Laboryzr™, Secure-IC’s well-established product line dedicated to security evaluation.
Among Laboryzr™ solutions, Analyzr™ stands out as the most advanced platform for post-silicon security assessment, helping companies validate their devices against sophisticated attack methods.
Analyzr™: Certification tool within V-Cycle methodology
Analyzr™ enables manufacturers to assess the resilience of their hardware (ASICs, FPGAs, smartcards or microcontrollers devices for defense, IoT, smartphones or automotive markets) against physical attacks, including side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection attacks (FIA). Fully compliant with industry standards such as Common Criteria, FIPS 140-3, ISO/IEC 17825, or SESIP, Analyzr™ ensures companies can meet their certification requirements with confidence.
With a complete suite of tools and associated methodologies including electromagnetic probes, oscilloscopes, laser injection stations, power and clock glitch injectors, or AI-driven analysis, Analyzr™ provides unmatched precision in identifying vulnerabilities.
Real-World Attacks Highlight the Need for Robust Evaluation
Recent security incidents demonstrate the growing risks posed by side-channel and fault injection attacks:
- Apple Chips Vulnerability: Researchers have discovered two side-channel vulnerabilities, SLAP and FLOP (Jan. 2025), in Apple’s M-series chips (since 2021). These flaws could let attackers extract sensitive data (credit card details, location, emails) from apps like iCloud Calendar and Google Maps via Safari and Chrome. SLAP affects M2/A15 chips, while FLOP targets M3/A17 chips. Impacted devices include MacBooks (2022+), Mac desktops (2023+), and iPhones/iPads (2021+). Apple is aware and plans security updates, though no exploits have been reported. Users should keep their devices updated to mitigate risks.

- Tesla Autopilot Hacked: In early 2024, researchers revealed a security breach in Tesla’s Autopilot system. German researchers successfully hacked a Tesla Model 3’s circuit board using a £520 device. Their findings confirmed the existence of ‘Elon Mode,’ a feature that disables the requirement for drivers to keep their hands on the wheel while using Autopilot.
This discovery raises serious security concerns, as the hack granted access to driver information and sensitive code. The researchers also suggested that such an attack could enable unlocking additional features without payment. Using a “voltage glitching” technique based on fault injection, they managed to exploit vulnerabilities in Tesla’s system, further fuelling debates about the security of Autopilot.

PQC Readiness: Future-Proofing Cryptographic Security
As the industry prepares for the post-quantum era, Secure-IC ensures that cryptographic implementations remain resilient. Analyzr™ provides tools to evaluate the security of 
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms, enabling organizations to test and certify next-generation cryptographic protections. It covers public-key encryption such as ML-KEM (Crystals-Kyber) and digital signature algorithms such as ML-DSA (Crystals-Dilithium), SLH-DSA (Sphincs+), FN-DSA (Falcon) or additional schemes.
Following the announcement of the ML-DSA (Crystals-Dilithium) ML-KEM (Crystals-Kyber), with Analyzr™, Secure-IC reaffirms its leadership in security evaluation, equipping companies with the necessary tools to navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.
