SEALSQ Advances Post-Quantum Cybersecurity for Defense and Public Safety Drones
12 February 2025 - 1:10AM
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or
"Company"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and
Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today
announced that it is accelerating the cybersecurity transformation
of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) through its advanced secure
microcontrollers. As regulatory bodies such as the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S.
government push for quantum-resistant encryption, SEALSQ is at the
forefront of protecting mission-critical drone operations against
next-generation cyber threats.
SEALSQ: Trusted Security Partner for
Professional DronesAs security threats evolve,
professional drones used by public agencies, law enforcement, and
the military require advanced cryptographic protection to ensure
secure communications, data integrity, and operational resilience.
SEALSQ has established itself as a long-term security provider for
the drone industry, offering trusted identity management and
end-to-end encryption for drones deployed in high-stakes
environments.
By integrating SEALSQ’s secure elements, drone
manufacturers ensure compliance with strict government
cybersecurity regulations, enhance operational security, and
mitigate risks associated with hacking, data breaches, and remote
hijacking. SEALSQ’s cryptographic expertise has made it a preferred
choice for companies developing next-generation UAS for defense,
border security, and critical infrastructure protection.
AgEagle Partnership: Strengthening
Secure Drone DeploymentsOne of SEALSQ’s key collaborations
is with AgEagle, a provider of cyber-secure drones
for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
In September 2023, AgEagle launched the eBee
VISION, a state-of-the-art ISR drone integrating a SEALSQ
Secure Element compliant with NIST FIPS140-2 Level
3. This cryptographic security architecture ensures:
- Tamper-Resistant Hardware
Security: Protection against unauthorized access, hacking
attempts, and software manipulation.
- Unique Trusted
Identity: Cryptographically embedded identities for secure
Ground Control System (GCS) pairing and authentication.
- End-to-End
Encryption: Secure transmission of video feeds, control
commands, and telemetry to prevent interception and
cyberattacks.
With these advanced security features, the eBee
VISION has been selected for the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) project, working
toward compliance with the DoD Robotic and Autonomous
System-Air Interoperability Profile (RAS-A IOP) under the
Blue UAS program. This collaboration underscores
SEALSQ’s role in fortifying professional drone technology against
cyber threats.
The Shift to Post-Quantum
SecurityAs quantum computing advances, traditional
encryption methods are at risk of becoming obsolete. Recognizing
this threat, regulatory bodies such as NIST have
introduced the first set of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms,
finalized in August 2024, to establish a new
standard for cybersecurity resilience. In addition, the
National Security Memorandum (NSM-10) and the
Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Memorandum
M-23-02 mandate federal agencies to transition to
quantum-resistant encryption.This shift is particularly critical
for drones used in defense and national security applications,
where secure communication and data integrity are paramount.
Without post-quantum security, drones could become vulnerable to
future quantum-enabled cyberattacks, jeopardizing sensitive
missions and classified intelligence.
SEALSQ: Leading the Post-Quantum
Transition for the Drone IndustrySEALSQ has proactively
built a post-quantum security roadmap, ensuring
that its cryptographic chips are designed to withstand the
cybersecurity challenges posed by quantum computing. With an
established presence in the professional drone
market, SEALSQ is uniquely positioned to drive the
industry’s transition toward quantum-resistant encryption.By
combining post-quantum-ready secure elements with
existing partnerships across the drone ecosystem, SEALSQ ensures
that public agencies, military forces, and defense contractors can
deploy secure, quantum-resilient drones without
disruption. As regulatory pressure and cybersecurity concerns
accelerate the need for advanced protection, SEALSQ is setting the
foundation for the next era of drone security.
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
