SEALSQ Post-Quantum Cryptographic Chips Deployed on WISeSat Satellites
21 December 2024 - 12:15AM
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 the integration of its latest
post-quantum cryptographic chips on WISeSat satellites. This
milestone development underscores SEALSQ’s commitment to securing
satellite communications in an era of emerging quantum computing
threats. See demo here.
This partnership leverages SEALSQ's cutting-edge
semiconductor expertise and WISeSat’s innovative satellite IoT
connectivity solutions. With the rise of quantum computing,
traditional encryption methods are at risk of being compromised. By
converting data into light particles and transmitting it through a
constellation of satellites, WISeSat and SEALSQ are pioneering a
potential solution to mitigate these future vulnerabilities.
SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptographic chips serve
as essential components for securing devices on these satellites,
protecting communications between satellites and ground stations
from interception. Historically, satellite communications have been
particularly vulnerable to cyber threats due to their transmission
through open air, making robust cryptographic protections essential
for data integrity and security.
The SEALSQ-manufactured chips are engineered to
meet the rigorous demands of post-quantum cryptography, ensuring
secure data transmission and resilient device performance, even as
quantum computing advances.
WISeSat.Space provides low-earth orbit
nanosatellite connectivity, enabling global coverage for IoT
devices, including those in remote or underserved regions. This
scalable technology supports seamless interconnectivity and
expansive IoT ecosystems. To date, 17 WISeSat satellites have been
launched via SpaceX, with plans to deploy hundreds more to
establish a fully operational quantum-secure communications
network. The next WISeSat launch with SpaceX is scheduled for
January 14, 2025, from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in
California.
This strategic collaboration between SEALSQ and
WISeSat represents a significant step towards securing global
satellite communications in the quantum era, providing businesses
and governments with robust and future-proof connectivity
solutions.
