EndoSec

What EndoSec does

EndoSec LLC is a privately held, Veteran-owned small business founded in 2013 that provides cryptographic IP, anti-tamper hardware security modules, and resells third-party security testing tools to the US Government, the Department of Defense, and US defense prime contractors. The company operates a distributed footprint with offices in Washington DC and at least seven additional US states, and is staffed by 100% US citizen engineers holding security clearances. Its proprietary product line centers on NIST CAVP-validated firmware cores — including AES-LR (leakage resilient AES), SHA hash implementations, and post-quantum ML-KEM and ML-DSA modules — together with hardened cryptographic cores and anti-tamper subsystems (secure bus controller, secure memory controller, secure boot controller, and post-quantum cryptosystems) for FPGA and ASIC deployment.

The technology stack spans the full hardware security lifecycle: secure algorithm cores, physical unclonable function (PUF) based hardware root of trust, and attack-side tooling for fault injection and side-channel analysis. EndoSec is the exclusive reseller of Keysight (formerly Riscure) Inspector security test tools — covering fault injection, side-channel analysis, pre-silicon security validation, FIPS 140-3 side-channel testing, and Huracan automotive security tools — to the US Government and DoD. It also resells Synopsys PUF technology (acquired from Intrinsic ID), including PUF FPGA-X solutions for Xilinx and Altera/Intel FPGAs and QuiddiKey-based secure key generation. Revenue is generated through one-time cryptographic IP licensing, hardware resale of test equipment, PUF IP licensing/royalties, and professional services (anti-tamper planning, security consultation, cryptographic and PUF integration, systems engineering, and third-party validation). The company is led by President Robert Moriarty, a Veteran.

Core offering

EndoSec sells proprietary firmware and software cryptographic IP cores (AES-LR, SHA, post-quantum ML-KEM and ML-DSA, hardened cryptographic modules, and anti-tamper controllers) for FPGA and ASIC implementation. The company additionally resells Keysight Inspector security testing tools (Fault Injection, Side Channel Analysis, Pre-Silicon) and Synopsys PUF hardware root-of-trust IP under exclusive US Government and DoD reseller agreements, and provides related security engineering services.

Product overview

EndoSec offers a dual portfolio of proprietary cryptographic products and resells enterprise security tools. Their proprietary offerings include EndoSec AES-LR, SHA, ML-KEM (post-quantum), and ML-DSA cryptographic cores (NIST CAVP validated), plus hardened cryptographic modules and anti-tamper products (secure bus/memory/boot controllers, post-quantum cryptosystems). As a reseller, they offer Keysight Inspector (formerly Riscure) security testing tools including side channel analysis, fault injection, and pre-silicon testing; and Synopsys PUF (Physically Unclonable Function) technology for FPGA and SoC hardware root of trust. All products target government agencies, prime contractors, and the defense enterprise requiring high-assurance security solutions.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Keysight (formerly Riscure)coreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 1 January 2023Strategic partnership where EndoSec serves as the exclusive reseller of Riscure's industry-leading security test tools (Inspector) to the US Government, DoD, and defense contractors. This partnership allows expansion of Inspector security testing tools in US Government programs, leveraging EndoSec's strong track record working with the US Government and DoD.
• SynopsyscoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorEndoSec serves as the secure and trusted reseller for Synopsys PUF technology (acquired from Intrinsic ID) in the US Government and DoD market. Synopsys provides Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) technology for hardware root of trust, which has been deployed in aerospace and defense electronics for over a decade.

Broad incumbents

• Rambus Inc. Rambus is an established semiconductor IP company whose security division sells hardware cryptographic IP cores, root-of-trust, and DPA-resistant primitives to defence and commercial customers. Comparable to EndoSec as a direct competitor in cryptographic IP and silicon security IP, but operating globally and across commercial markets.
• Keysight Technologies (Riscure Security Solutions): Keysight acquired Riscure and sells the Inspector fault-injection and side-channel analysis testbenches underlying EndoSec's reseller line. It is the upstream vendor whose US Government channel is run by EndoSec, and is comparable as the broader instrumentation incumbent offering security-testing tools across defence and commercial labs.
• Synopsys: Synopsys owns the PUF IP business (formerly Intrinsic ID) that EndoSec resells into US Government and DoD, and is also a global EDA/IP giant. Comparable as the upstream supplier whose security IP EndoSec distributes, and as a broad incumbent in semiconductor IP and security IP for defence electronics.

Direct peers

• Secure-IC: Secure-IC is a pure-play vendor of cryptographic IP cores, side-channel and fault-injection evaluation tools (the Securyzr/Smart-Soc tools), and security certification services for embedded and defense systems. Direct peer to EndoSec with an overlapping product offering (crypto IP + side-channel/fault testing + certification) and a comparable aerospace/defense and chip-customer base.
• Intrinsic ID (a Synopsys company): Intrinsic ID pioneered SRAM-based Physical Unclonable Function IP for hardware root-of-trust, the same technology EndoSec resells from Synopsys. Direct peer in PUF/root-of-trust silicon IP, mainly serving commercial IoT and chip customers rather than US defence, but the underlying technology competes in the same design wins.
• Galois (Galois Inc.): Galois is a US-headquartered research-driven firm providing cryptographic software, formal methods, and high-assurance security engineering to DARPA, DoD, and intelligence customers. Comparable to EndoSec as a small US specialized cryptography/security supplier serving defence agencies, with overlapping services in cryptographic integration and security proofs.
• Verimatrix (formerly Inside Secure): Verimatrix provides silicon-proven security IP including cryptographic cores, hardware root-of-trust, and anti-tamper IP for connected devices and defence. Comparable to EndoSec in cryptographic IP and secure elements IP, with more focus on pay-TV, IoT, and automotive than US defense.

Emerging players

• Crypto Quantique: Crypto Quantique is an emerging PUF + quantum-root-of-trust IP company serving IoT and semiconductor customers. Comparable as a PUF/quantum-root-of-trust IP vendor whose technology is adjacent to EndoSec's resold Synopsys PUF line and could compete for downstream hardware root-of-trust sockets.
• ICTK Holdings: ICTK is a Korean security IP vendor selling PUF-based root-of-trust, anti-tamper, and cryptographic IP to defence and IoT customers. Comparable as a regional PUF/root-of-trust IP supplier whose offerings overlap with the Synopsys PUF technology that EndoSec resells.

Regional players

• Resecurity: Resecurity is a US cybersecurity firm delivering threat intelligence, endpoint, and cyber-risk products to federal and defense customers. Comparable as a security specialist selling defense-grade cyber offerings into the US Government/DoD buyer that EndoSec targets, though its product focus is on cyber analytics rather than hardware crypto IP.
