SEALSQ Announces Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification for MS600X Secure Hardware Platform and VaultIC 408 FIPS 140-3 Testing Success
January 17 2025 - 8:30AM
Combined with the upcoming launch of its
Post-Quantum Hardware Platform, SEALSQ is setting a new benchmark
for secure solutions across industries that demand the highest
levels of protection
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or
"Company"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and
Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today
announced that its MS600X Secure Hardware Platform has been awarded
the Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification, one of the highest
internationally recognized levels of security certification for
hardware products. This achievement underscores SEALSQ’s commitment
to delivering robust, reliable, and secure solutions for critical
applications in Internet of Things (IoT), smart metering, and
beyond.
The Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level
(EAL) is a globally accepted standard for evaluating the security
of IT products. The EAL5+ Certification is specifically tailored
for products designed to protect high-value assets against
sophisticated attacks. This level of certification guarantees a
thorough and rigorous evaluation process, demonstrating SEALSQ’s
dedication to ensuring unparalleled security in its hardware
platforms.
VaultIC 408 Achieves Key FIPS 140-3
MilestoneIn addition, SEALSQ’s VaultIC 408 secure
microcontroller has successfully passed the stringent FIPS 140-3
testing conducted by UL Labs. The Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) 140-3, maintained by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), sets the benchmark for
cryptographic module security and compliance in the United States.
With testing complete, the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation
Program (CMVP) is now reviewing the results, and final
certification is expected within a few months.
Of note, SEALSQ’s VaultIC 408 has already
garnered significant market traction, having been selected to equip
millions of smart hubs as part of the UK’s Smart Metering Program.
This program aims to enhance energy efficiency and management
across the country. VaultIC 408’s unparalleled security features
played a key role in meeting the stringent requirements of this
large-scale initiative.
What This Means for the
IndustryThis dual recognition, Common Criteria EAL5+ for
the MS600X and progress toward FIPS 140-3 Certification for the
VaultIC 408, positions SEALSQ as a trusted provider of secure
hardware solutions for critical infrastructures worldwide.
Post-Quantum Hardware Platform Launching
in 2025SEALSQ is preparing for the upcoming launch of its
Post-Quantum Hardware Platform, set to hit the market in 2025. This
cutting-edge platform will be available both as an open platform
and a trusted platform module (TPM), and it will carry the
prestigious Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification. This ensures that
the platform meets the highest security standards required to
safeguard against quantum computing threats, further cementing
SEALSQ’s position at the forefront of hardware security
innovation.
“Achieving the Common Criteria EAL5+
Certification for our MS600X Secure Hardware Platform and advancing
the FIPS 140-3 certification process for the VaultIC 408 is a
testament to SEALSQ’s leadership in hardware security innovation,”
said Bernard Vian, General Manager of SEALSQ. “Combined with our
upcoming Post-Quantum Hardware Platform, we are setting a new
benchmark for secure solutions across industries that demand the
highest levels of protection.”
These certifications reinforce SEALSQ’s ability
to address the evolving security challenges faced by IoT
applications, critical infrastructure, and government projects. By
meeting the stringent criteria for global security standards,
SEALSQ continues to provide its partners and customers with
unparalleled confidence in its solutions.
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
