MicroCrypto addresses a critical market gap with innovative Low Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) encryption solutions. Purpose-built for military communications and commercial applications, MicroCrypto protects sensitive information across tactical operations, infrastructure, public safety, and beyond.
This UK-engineered, software-defined, hardware-underpinned system delivers AES-256 encryption for non-High Grade, lower than Secret communication requirements. MicroCrypto is specifically designed for the growing uncrewed systems market, including drones, ground systems, surface vessels, and legacy sonobuoys, where traditional high-grade cryptography solutions prove impractical. By balancing security with performance optimization, MicroCrypto ensures communications remain protected without compromising operational effectiveness.
