Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
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 that 2025 is expected to be a landmark year for SEALSQ and its parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd. ("WISeKey") ((SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY) as they advance their leadership in quantum technologies. SEALSQ is focusing on breakthroughs in post-quantum algorithms and semiconductor innovations, while WISeKey is reinforcing its Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with a quantum root key to address the challenges of the quantum era.
SEALSQ and WISeKey are collaborating with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) on the development of the first Quantum-Resistant USB Token demonstrator, an initiative driven by their Post-Quantum Engineering team.
This initiative, part of the SEALSQ QUASARS project (Quantum-Resistant Secure Algorithms on Silicon), incorporates state-of-the-art algorithms like CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, which are among the finalists in the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization process. These quantum-resistant algorithms are being implemented in SEALSQ's proprietary semiconductors, combining cryptographic robustness with energy-efficient designs tailored for embedded and IoT applications.
