ZipIPS Surpasses NIST’s New Lightweight Cryptography Standard

August 13, 2025

On August 13, 2025, NIST finalized its Ascon-Based Lightweight Cryptography Standard (SP 800-232) for resource-constrained IoT devices. Creative Synergies LLC is proud to announce that ZipIPS, our patented Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), outperforms this standard with quantum-unbreakable security. ZipIPS’s 476-bit key space delivers a 1 in ~2.5 × 10¹⁴³ chance of unauthorized access, far surpassing Ascon’s 128-bit security, which is robust for classical threats but less prepared for quantum attacks.

ZipIPS uses variable-length strings and one-chance timestamp code matching (millisecond or nanosecond precision) to prevent Man-in-the-Middle attacks, offering dynamic protection for IoT ecosystems. Its 116-byte keys and on-demand code generation ensure efficiency for devices in healthcare, military, home security, smart cities, and environmental infrastructure. ZipIPS’s quantum security can be tailored for a range of applications—such as securing personal wearable medical devices to protecting military quantum networks—making it a future-proof solution. While Ascon’s variable-length hashing and side-channel resistance are strengths, ZipIPS’s quantum security and tailored applications excel for critical IoT systems.

Creative Synergies LLC Launches New Website to Showcase ZipIPS Technology

June, 2025

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new website, designed to showcase ZipIPS, our quantum-unbreakable Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Analyzed by Grok 4 from xAI, ZipIPS exceeds NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards with a 476-bit key space and a 1 in ~2.5 × 10¹⁴³ chance of unauthorized access, ensuring unmatched security for IoT systems. The site features detailed white papers across various sectors, including Consumer IoT, Retail and E-Commerce, Agriculture, Education and Research, and Government and Public Sector. Our website was developed with the assistance of Grok, an AI by xAI, ensuring a seamless user experience. Explore our site to learn more about how ZipIPS can secure your IoT systems against conventional hacking as well as quantum-based threats.

We’d like to acknowledge the contributions of the following in the development of our new website:

• Grok, created by xAI
• Adobe Firefly
• Viddyoze

Their assistance was invaluable in bringing this project to life.
