SEALSQ and WISeKey Unveil Quantum-Resilient Security Framework to Control the Future of Robotics
Geneva, Switzerland, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- See video here 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, in cooperation with its parent company, WISeKey International Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: WKEY / SIX: WIHN) today announced a breakthrough in securing and controlling the next generation of intelligent machines as billions of robots are poised to enter every aspect of society. By combining SEALSQ's post-quantum semiconductor technology with WISeKey's Root of Trust infrastructure, the companies are delivering a critical solution to one of the most pressing technological challenges of our time: ensuring that future autonomous robots remain under trusted human command. SEALSQ's post-quantum chips are engineered to resist the enormous processing power of future quantum computers, which will render today's encryption obsolete. These chips embed advanced cryptographic protection directly into the silicon, making it possible to secure robot identities, encrypt communications, and guarantee software integrity, right from the point of manufacture. This protection is essential for a world in which machines will operate independently, often in sensitive environments or critical infrastructure. Built on top of this secure hardware, WISeKey's Root of Trust assigns every robot a unique cryptographic identity, stored securely and registered on a blockchain. This allows every machine to be authenticated, remotely managed, and securely updated throughout its lifecycle. With this architecture in place, organizations and governments can ensure that only trusted, verified devices are allowed to operate, and that they remain under control even in highly distributed, autonomous deployments. This security infrastructure extends beyond the ground. Through the integration of Trusted IoT (TIoT), drones, and the WISeSat constellation of satellites, the combined SEALSQ-WISeKey platform forms a global trust grid capable of managing and securing robotic operations anywhere on Earth. This is made possible by the Oran G process, an advanced deployment methodology that fuses chip-level trust, secure communications, and real-time satellite oversight to provide a resilient, scalable framework for the robotic age. Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey and SEALSQ, stated: 'We are rapidly approaching a future where billions of autonomous machines will make decisions that impact our economies, our infrastructure, and our lives. These machines must be trustworthy, traceable, and controllable. By embedding post-quantum security and trusted identities into their core, we ensure they serve humanity, not the other way around.' This initiative is already being applied in critical sectors, including defense, industrial automation, agriculture, and healthcare robotics. It marks a major step forward in aligning emerging robotic ecosystems with global cybersecurity and governance standards, ensuring that the digital transformation unfolds with resilience and ethical oversight.

SEALSQ's Quantum-Resistant Secure Microcontrollers Enhance Smart Grid Resilience Amid Rising Environmental and Cyber Threats
Geneva, Switzerland, April 29, 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 highlighted how its quantum-resistant secure microcontrollers can strengthen the resilience of IoT connected devices and networks including electrical grids. The massive blackout that disrupted Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025, which was triggered by extreme atmospheric conditions, underscores the urgent need for secure, reliable IoT solutions to safeguard critical infrastructure. By securing the IoT ecosystem, SEALSQ's technology ensures that the data driving smart grids remains trustworthy, even under extreme environmental conditions or cyber threats. According to Spain's grid operator, Red Eléctrica (REE), the blackout resulted from temperature-induced vibrations in high-voltage transmission lines (400kV), causing synchronization failures between Spain and France's electrical systems. This cascade led to the loss of 15 gigawatts of power in seconds, affecting millions of customers. Such environmental disruptions, combined with growing cyber threats, highlight vulnerabilities in aging grid infrastructure. SEALSQ's post-quantum secure microcontrollers address these challenges by securing IoT sensors and monitoring devices deployed across electrical networks. These chips, embedded in devices like substations and transmission line sensors, ensure the authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of critical environmental and operational data, such as temperature, voltage, and oscillations. Equipped with quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, SEALSQ's technology protects against next-generation cyberattacks, including those enabled by quantum computing, ensuring grid operators can trust real-time data for decision-making. 'IoT sensors are transforming smart grids by enabling real-time monitoring and automated fault detection,' said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. 'However, their effectiveness depends on secure data transmission. Our quantum-resistant microcontrollers safeguard these devices, empowering grid operators to detect anomalies like temperature swings or synchronization issues early and act before failures escalate.' By integrating SEALSQ's secure microcontrollers, grid operators can: Ensure secure, tamper-proof data collection from IoT sensors monitoring environmental and grid parameters. Protect against cyberattacks that could manipulate or disrupt critical grid communications. Enable rapid, automated responses to anomalies, such as isolating faulty segments to prevent cascading failures. Support the integration of renewable energy sources into smart grids by securing data at interconnection points. As smart grids evolve to incorporate renewable energy and advanced analytics, SEALSQ's secure IoT architecture enhances reliability, protects against cyber threats, and supports system reconfiguration to minimize power losses. This is critical for maintaining voltage stability and operational efficiency in volatile conditions. SEALSQ remains committed to protecting global critical infrastructure with cutting-edge, quantum-resistant solutions that address the challenges of an increasingly connected and unpredictable world.
