SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or
"Company"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and
Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today
announced that in collaboration with the OISTE.ORG Foundation, is
developing the next generation of Post-Quantum Cryptography Root of
Trust (“Quantum RootCA”), an advanced cryptographic solution
designed to secure digital identities, systems, and communications
against the imminent threat posed by quantum computing. The launch
of the Quantum RootCA is expected as early as Q1 2025.
The Quantum RootCA employs Post-Quantum
Cryptography (PQC) algorithms to protect against the
vulnerabilities of traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC,
which can be broken by quantum computers. By leveraging algorithms
such as CRYSTALS-Dilithium and FALCON, the Quantum Root Key ensures
that encryption remains secure even as quantum computing
evolves.
At the core of this solution is the
OISTE/WISeKey Trust Model and an advanced Post-Quantum-Cryptography
PKI platform (PQC-PKI), which provides a secure cryptographic
anchor for storing and managing post-quantum digital certificates
(WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ:
WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company,
is SEALSQ’s parent company). All cryptographic operations occur
within a protected hardware environment, such as Hardware Security
Modules (HSMs), Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), or specialized
secure chips developed by SEALSQ. This hardware-based
implementation guards against physical and side-channel
attacks.
The OISTE/WISeKey PQC-PKI facilitates secure key
generation, authentication, and encryption processes. It generates
quantum-resistant key pairs, securely stores private keys, and uses
these keys to authenticate users, devices, and communications. By
integrating with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems, the
Quantum Root Key supports the issuance and management of
quantum-safe digital certificates. Additionally, it ensures the
integrity of firmware updates and data transfers by providing
robust protection against tampering.
SEALSQ and WISeKey are also launching a new
“Quantum Lab” that makes its PQC-PKI platform available to
companies and researchers, enabling the issuance of
quantum-resistant digital certificates for evaluation and pilot
projects. The new “SEALSQ Quantum Lab” aims to be a reference
information point for companies seeking awareness and experience in
these new technologies.
Technological Advantages:
-
Quantum-Resistant Algorithms: ML-DSA (aka
Dilithium), ML-KEM (aka Kyber), FALCON, and other NIST-standardized
PQC algorithms ensure security against quantum attacks.
- Secure
Hardware Integration: Embeds cryptographic functions in
HSMs, TPMs, and secure microcontrollers to protect against physical
and side-channel attacks.
- Identity
Verification: Enables secure authentication for people,
applications, and IoT devices, secure communications, financial
transactions, and more.
- Long-Term
Protection: Future-proof encryption designed to withstand
advances in quantum computing for data that is encrypted today and
must remain protected for years to come.
Use Cases:
- IoT
Security: Authentication and secure communication for
billions of connected devices.
- Government
and Defense: Protection of classified data and secure
communication channels.
- Financial
Services: Quantum-safe protection for transactions and
sensitive financial data.
-
Healthcare: Ensures patient data confidentiality
and secure medical communication.
-
Telecommunications: Secures network infrastructure
with quantum-resistant encryption.
Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of SEALSQ,
commented, “Quantum computing is set to redefine cybersecurity. Our
Quantum Root Key and new PQC-PKI ensure that digital identities and
communications remain secure in the face of these changes. Our
collaboration with the OISTE.ORG Foundation reinforces our mission
to create a secure and privacy-centric digital world.”With this
initiative, SEALSQ and OISTE.ORG are at the forefront of developing
innovative solutions to address the cybersecurity challenges of a
post-quantum era.
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
