Xiphera has been selected for a new project under the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ARTES programme. The project is to focus on developing a high-speed security IP core for optical satellite communications, further strengthening Xiphera’s position as a provider of advanced hardware-based cybersecurity solutions for the space sector.
As satellites generate and transfer increasing amounts of data, communications infrastructure must evolve to support higher bandwidths without compromising security. The project addresses this challenge by combining high-speed data protection with the performance requirements of next-generation space systems.
The project builds on Xiphera’s experience in developing hardware-based cryptographic IP and security solutions for demanding applications in the space, defense, telecommunications, and industrial sectors.
“We are excited to work with ESA on this project and contribute our expertise in hardware-based cybersecurity to future space systems,” said Petri Jehkonen, Director of Strategic Programs at Xiphera. “Future satellite constellations will rely on high-speed optical links capable of transferring massive amounts of data. Security must be built into these systems without compromising performance. This project gives us an opportunity to develop technologies that help address exactly that challenge.”
“The ARTES programme strengthens European sovereignty in core technologies for our space infrastructures, including cybersecurity and high-speed hardware cryptography. We look forward to contributing Xiphera’s subject-matter expertise in these fields to the European space ecosystem,” said Tommi Lampila, Chief Revenue Officer at Xiphera.
The project supports the development of technologies needed for future satellite constellations, where both ultra-high data rates and strong cybersecurity are essential requirements.
