Geneva, Switzerland, October 16, 2024 -- SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:
LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing
and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology
hardware and software products, today announced that its Post
Quantum products and services are designed to respond to the
weakness of RSA algorithms to quantum computers recently exposed by
Chinese Researchers. Indeed, a recent breakthrough by researchers
from Shanghai University demonstrated the power of quantum
computing by efficiently cracking RSA encryption using a D-Wave
quantum computer. (https://t.ly/18g99). This advancement
underscores the urgency to develop new cryptographic defenses to
protect sensitive information from being exposed.
This real-life example confirms Peter Shor’s theory that Quantum
computers, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, have the
potential to disrupt the very foundations of global data security
by breaking widely used cryptographic algorithms, including RSA and
AES. These encryption methods are essential for safeguarding
sensitive information in web browsers, VPNs, email services, and
chips from major brands. As the computational power of quantum
machines increases, today’s encryption systems are becoming
vulnerable to future attacks.In response to the growing quantum
threat, SEALSQ will not only offer to the market in 2025 a new
generation of Quantum Resistant chips but also integrate WISeKey’s
latest advancements in Post-Quantum Encryption in its PKI
as-a-service platform (INeS).
This combination of Quantum Resistant hardware and cryptography
is unique on the security market as it offers a complete and
integrated approach to the imminent threat posed by Quantum
computers, ensuring that their computational power cannot undermine
the privacy and integrity of global communication systems. SEALSQ’s
upcoming webinar will focus on this topic – interested parties can

Game-Changer in Post-Quantum CybersecurityThe QS7001 is a
cutting-edge RISC-V secure hardware platform specifically designed
for IoT security and incorporating NIST’s recommended
quantum-resistant algorithms, Kyber and Dilithium, to ensure robust
protection against quantum-enabled breaches.
The QVault TPM is a Quantum Resistant Trusted Platform Module
(TPM 2.0) compliant with NIST FIPS 140-3 requirements and powered
by the QS7001 hardware platform.

“These chips represent a transformative leap in cybersecurity,”
said Jean Pierre Enguent, CTO at SEALSQ. “As quantum computing
capabilities advance, the vulnerabilities of current encryption
methods become increasingly apparent. With our QS7001 and QVault
TPM, we are set to provide industries and governments with the
tools they need to safeguard their data and devices against the
looming quantum threat.”
SEALSQ’s PKI will integrate WISeKey’s advancements in
Post Quantum Encryption
WISeKey (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), SEALSQ’s
parent company, is developing a new range of Trust Services, that
will take advantage of the latest developments in post-quantum
encryption (PQE) to be applied in real-world applications of
digital signatures and encryption using PKI and digital
certificates, such as secure communication channels (TLS), enhanced
Key Exchanges and email security (S/MIME). These services are
currently based in standards that can be improved to be resilient
to quantum attacks and offer backwards compatibility with existing
counterparts. WISeKey implementation of PQE is done around the
concept of “hybrid signatures” which combine in a single X.509
certificate a conventional signature with a second signature using
a PQE algorithm. This approach ensures backwards compatibility and
opens a new horizon of cybersecurity services.
Later this year, WISeKey plans to offer a first
“Root of Trust” based in PQE algorithms promoted currently by the
NIST as valid candidates, which will be the foundation of a new
portfolio of Trust Services and secure several IoT projects on
which WISeKey is already working.
Previously WISeKey provided updates on its
progress in developing post-quantum resistant algorithms by
establishing strategic R&D partnerships with MINES
Saint-Etienne Research Institute. WISeKey’s R&D group has been
working with several NIST’s candidates for the MS600X Common
Criteria products, such as Crystals-Kyber and Crystals-Dilithium,
aiming to develop a complete post-quantum cryptography toolbox to
be combined with new PKI-related Trust Services delivered by
WISeKey.
By investing in post-quantum semiconductors and
cryptography, SEALSQ and WISeKey position themselves at the
forefront of cybersecurity, providing essential protection for the
next generation of digital systems against the unprecedented risks
posed by quantum computing.
About SEALSQ:SEALSQ focuses on
selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and
Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology
hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a
variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens,
Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, Medical and Healthcare and IT
Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and
Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to
cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a
quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they
may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are
currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new
cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks. For
