WISeKey’s Subsidiary,
SEALSQ Partners with Accubits
to Reinforce Security in the
Semiconductor and IoT Ecosystem
Using LLMs
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – August 2, 2023 —WISeKey
International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a
leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things
(IoT) solutions operating as a holding company, today announced
that its subsidiary SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES) (“SEALSQ”) and
Accubits Technologies Inc. (“Accubits”), a global solution provider
focused on enabling enterprises to apply artificial intelligence
and blockchain technologies in their business, today announced
their cutting-edge initiative to dramatically fortify the security
infrastructure of semiconductors and the expanding Internet of
Things (IoT) ecosystem. The partnership aims to harness the
potential of Generative AI and Large Language Models, marking a
monumental shift in cybersecurity norms.
As part of this pioneering collaboration,
WISeKey is creating a novel suite of Trust Services centered on
real-world applications of Post-Quantum Encryption (PQE)
encompassing digital signatures, encryptions, secure communication
channels (TLS), key exchanges, and email security (S/MIME).
Carlos Moreira, WISeKey’s CEO, commented, "Our
implementation of PQE hinges on the 'hybrid signatures' concept, a
blend of conventional and PQE signatures within a single X.509
certificate. This approach guarantees backward compatibility while
pioneering a new frontier in cybersecurity services."
SEALSQ’s post-quantum technology has emerged as
an indispensable instrument in preserving data privacy and
integrity in IoT networks, offering robust protection against
potential breaches by quantum computers, which can theoretically
undermine conventional encryption methods.
By integrating SEALSQ with Generative AI
capabilities, the partnership will facilitate several advancements,
primarily for the IoT sector. These will include secure data
processing, enhanced user privacy, secure software updates,
confidential machine learning, encrypted command and control, and
secure data sharing.
Utilizing Large Language Models with SEALSQ will
provide quantum-resistant encryption of updates. Introducing
Confidential Machine Learning will enable model training on
encrypted data and keep the model confidential. The integration of
Encrypted Command and Control will allow users to securely manage
IoT devices using natural language, with all communications
securely encrypted. Additionally, Secure Data Sharing will enable
IoT devices to encrypt data using SEALSQ and process or analyze it
using LLM without being decrypted.
Jithin VG, CEO of Accubits, shares his insights
on the partnership, "We've been at the forefront of the AI
revolution, launching multiple Large Language Models that provide
unparalleled performance in their respective fields. Combining our
proficiency in Generative AI with SEALSQ's groundbreaking
post-quantum technology is a natural progression for us. This
collaboration marks a defining moment in cybersecurity, as we
together fortify the digital infrastructure and redefine the
boundaries of secure IoT interactions."
The requirement to augment security
infrastructure for the semiconductor industry has never been more
urgent from both technological and strategic perspectives. As AI
continues to drive innovation and produce transformative tools
central to the global economy, the reliance on sophisticated,
high-performance computer chips becomes more critical.
With this groundbreaking collaboration, SEALSQ
and Accubits demonstrate their commitment to pushing the boundaries
of secure and innovative technology, aiming to safeguard our
increasingly interconnected digital landscape.

About SEALSQSEALSQ (Nasdaq:
LAES) is a subsidiary of the WISeKey Group that focuses on
developing and selling 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 devices,
Home Automation, 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
