Geneva, Switzerland – August 12, 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, is leading the charge in helping clients transition from digitalization to robotization and setting the stage for the future with its cutting-edge post-quantum chips. These advanced chips, expected to be available to order as soon as Q4 2024, are set to be the cornerstone of the robotization era, providing the robust security and processing power necessary to support the complex and demanding operations of robotic systems and offer certified security optimized for quantum-resistant algorithms. SEALSQ is engaging in strategic discussions with large electronic manufacturers to develop custom quantum-resistant chips.

Critical Security: As industries increasingly rely on robotics, the need for secure, efficient, and powerful hardware becomes paramount. SEALSQ's post-quantum chips are designed to meet these needs by offering unparalleled encryption capabilities that protect against the emerging threats posed by quantum computing. In a world where robots will handle critical tasks and sensitive data, ensuring that these systems are impervious to cyberattacks is essential. SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips provide this assurance, safeguarding the integrity of robotic operations and the data they process.

Enhanced Automation: Moreover, the enhanced processing power of SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips enables robots to perform more sophisticated tasks, from real-time decision-making to complex problem-solving. This is crucial as industries move beyond simple automation towards fully autonomous systems that can operate independently in dynamic environments. By integrating SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips into robotic systems, customers can achieve higher levels of efficiency and precision, unlocking new possibilities for innovation and productivity.

SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips are more than just a technological upgrade; they are a fundamental enabler of the robotization wave. The chips will ensure that SEALSQ customers can embrace this new era with confidence, knowing that their robotic systems are built on a foundation of cutting-edge security and performance. As the world moves towards greater automation, SEALSQ is proud to provide the tools that will drive this transformation, with its post-quantum chips leading the way.

SEALSQ is empowering its clients to transition from digitalization to robotization, with its post-quantum chips serving as the cornerstone of this evolution. These chips not only secure robotic systems against future cyber threats but also enhance their capabilities, ensuring that businesses can fully capitalize on the potential of robotics in the digital age. Through this innovation, SEALSQ is setting a new standard for security and performance in the robotization era, helping to build a future that is both automated and secure.

Development: The Company’s investments and focus on the QUASARs post-quantum project have enabled its engineering team to progress rapidly on the development roadmap. The upcoming secure chips family is based on a RISC-V Quantum Resistant and CCEAL5+ hardware platform offering CC EAL 5+ certified security and optimized for Kyber and Dilithium quantum resistant algorithms to face the latest quantum attack scenarios. The QS7001 is set to be delivered open, for the customer to develop and load their own firmware, while the “QVault TPM” features a pre-provisioned FIPS 140-3 and TCG certified Trusted Platform Module stack.

Following the design phase and production, and test of the first proof-of-concept, the QS7001 engineering samples are being produced and expected to be ready to order as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, while the TPM version should be ready by end of year.

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.
