Viettel reveals first generation of military chip with code name VGC, used in military encrypted communications
Hardware: 28nm structure, package size 10x10 mm, 300 million transistors, technology CMOS
Software: MKV cypher, a Vietnamese version of cryptography

In encrypted communications it’s not a problem to reveal the cryptography name, In Vietnam case it’s MKV. The challenge for attackers is understanding how it works, then solving a math puzzle, then calculating and hijack the session key, the secret key.

Vietnamese chipmaker FPT Semiconductor makes customized chips, as well. It can test and pack 300 million chips a year.
Money going around, sometimes cheaper, faster for the US, Japan or Korea chipmakers to outsource parts of production to Vietnamese chipmakers
