SEALSQ Introduces QS7001, a Newly Developed Cutting-Edge RISC-V Secure Hardware Platform, Specifically Designed for IoT security in the Post-Quantum Era
August 19 2024 - 8:57AM
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
pioneering the shift to quantum-resistant cybersecurity with its
newly developed post-quantum chip, QS7001. As the digital age
progresses, the need for robust, quantum-resilient security becomes
more pressing than ever. SEALSQ’s groundbreaking platform
represents a vital advancement in securing critical data and
infrastructure against the imminent threats posed by quantum
computing.
SEALSQ’s QS7001: A Game-Changer in Post-Quantum
Cybersecurity In response to the growing quantum threat,
SEALSQ has introduced the QS7001, a cutting-edge RISC-V secure
hardware platform specifically designed for IoT security in the
post-quantum era. The platform incorporates NIST’s recommended
quantum-resistant algorithms, Kyber and Dilithium, to ensure robust
protection against quantum-enabled breaches. This innovation
positions SEALSQ at the forefront of the transition to post-quantum
security solutions.
“The QS7001 represents a transformative leap in cybersecurity,”
said Jean Pierre Enguent, CTO at SEALSQ. “As quantum computing
capabilities advance, the vulnerabilities of current encryption
methods become increasingly apparent. With our QS7001, we are set
to provide industries and governments with the tools they need to
safeguard their data and devices against the looming quantum
threat.”

The Quantum Computing Threat and Its Impact on
CybersecurityQuantum computing is set to revolutionize
multiple industries, but it also poses significant risks to current
encryption methods. Traditional cryptographic algorithms like RSA
and ECC, which have been the bedrock of secure communications, are
increasingly vulnerable to attacks by quantum-enabled adversaries.
The immense processing power of quantum computers, which can solve
complex mathematical problems exponentially faster than classical
computers, threatens to render existing cryptography obsolete.
The urgency of addressing this threat was underscored by the
recent release of three quantum-resistant encryption algorithms by
the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
These algorithms, developed through NIST’s rigorous post-quantum
cryptography standardization process, are a critical step toward
securing sensitive data from future quantum attacks.

Post-Quantum Cryptography: A Necessary
EvolutionThe advent of quantum computing requires a
proactive approach to secure today’s and tomorrow’s information.
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is not merely an enhancement of
existing methods but a complete rethinking of how data security is
approached in a world where quantum attacks are no longer
theoretical but imminent. NIST’s newly introduced standards,
encapsulated in FIPS 203, 204, and 205, offer a framework for
general encryption and digital signatures that are resistant to
quantum computing capabilities.
SEALSQ’s QS7001 platform is certified to the Common Criteria
EAL5+ and compliant with FIPS SP800-90B, ensuring it meets the
highest standards of reliability and security. The QS7001 is
engineered to protect IoT devices across sectors such as
healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure, providing a
robust line of defense against “harvest now, decrypt later”
threats—where adversaries gather encrypted data today, intending to
decrypt it once quantum technology matures.
Securing the Future: SEALSQ’s Vision for a
Quantum-Resistant WorldSEALSQ’s commitment to leading the
post-quantum transition is evident not just in the QS7001 platform
but in the company’s broader strategy. By aligning with NIST’s
guidelines and industry standards, SEALSQ is setting a new
benchmark for secure IoT solutions in a rapidly evolving
cybersecurity landscape.
“As we stand on the brink of the quantum era, it’s essential
that we prepare for the security challenges it will bring,” added
Bernard VIAN, Managing Director, “SEALSQ is dedicated to ensuring
that our customers and partners are equipped with the technology
needed to stay ahead of these emerging threats. The QS7001 is just
the beginning of our journey toward building a resilient,
quantum-secure digital future.”

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
