SEALSQ and Parent Company WISeKey Advance AI Integration

Advancement is rooted in OISTE.ORG Foundation’s Digital Human Rights Declaration

Geneva, Switzerland – November 29, 2024 – SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or the "Company"), a leader in semiconductor, PKI, and post-quantum technology solutions, in collaboration with parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), today announced the continued integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their platforms, building on the foundational principles of the Digital Human Rights Declaration promoted by the OISTE.ORG Foundation. This declaration underscores the importance of protecting individual rights in the digital age, ensuring that technological advancements serve humanity responsibly.

AI Innovations Supporting Cybersecurity and Individual Protection

WISeKey and SEALSQ are leveraging AI to enhance their cybersecurity measures, streamline identity management, and foster operational efficiency. These developments are guided by ethical frameworks that prioritize individual protection:

1. IO Platform

The WISeAI.IO platform incorporates advanced machine-learning algorithms to fortify Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems. By analyzing vast datasets on certificate issuance and usage, the platform creates behavioral baselines to identify anomalies. This proactive approach helps detect potential unauthorized activities and strengthens overall cybersecurity.

2. Integration of Generative AI

In March 2023, WISeKey integrated Generative AI into its WISeAI.IO AIoT platform, enabling IoT devices to learn autonomously and adapt to real-world environments. This capability enhances decision-making and personalization, empowering devices such as smart home systems to dynamically adjust settings based on user preferences, improving user experiences while maintaining security.

3. INeS AI Security Broker

The INeS AI Security Broker, launched in October 2024, blends AI and PKI technologies to automate digital certificate and identity management across IoT ecosystems. The broker facilitates seamless certificate issuance and lifecycle management while leveraging AI insights to identify real-time threats, ensuring secure and efficient operations for extensive device networks.

4. AI-Enhanced Post-Quantum Semiconductors

In a bold step toward the quantum era, WISeKey and SEALSQ are working to develop AI-enhanced post-quantum semiconductors to tackle emerging cybersecurity challenges. This innovative approach will integrate AI into semiconductor design, enabling predictive IoT analysis systems that improve operational efficiency and strengthen defenses against advanced threats.

Guided by the Principles of the Digital Human Rights Declaration

These AI-driven advancements are firmly anchored in the OISTE.ORG Foundation’s Digital Human Rights Declaration, which advocates for safeguarding individuals’ rights and privacy in the digital landscape. By prioritizing ethical AI integration, WISeKey and SEALSQ ensure that their technologies align with the principles of human-centric development, creating secure digital ecosystems that empower and protect individuals.

Driving Innovation in Cybersecurity

The strategic integration of AI positions SEALSQ and WISeKey at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation.

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 more information, please visit www.sealsq.com.
