ZUG, Switzerland – August 23, 2023 – WISeKey International
Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leader in
cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain, and IoT operating as a holding
company, today announced that its Semiconductors & PKI
subsidiary, SEALSQ Corp. (Nasdaq: LAES) (“SEALSQ”), is introducing
the groundbreaking VAULTIC292 — a cutting-edge secure element
tailored for IoT devices and sensors.
Elevating IoT Security with VaultIC292:Designed
for cost-effectiveness and seamless integration, VaultIC292
functions as a fortified microcontroller, primed to endow devices
with a robust, secure identity. This identity is key for IoT
applications such as Smart Home Devices or field sensors. It allows
the establishment of a trusted connection to clouds or local
networks via the TLS protocol, ensuring impeccable device
authentication.
SEALSQ's Unique Value:With a focus on
flexibility and adaptability, SEALSQ’s secure element can be
pre-provisioned, whether factory-set, over-the-air, at wafer level,
or on-package. This is complemented with private keys and X509
certificates, compatible with protocols like MATTER, Wi-SUN, and
OPC. This facilitates authentication and commissioning with
platforms like Microsoft AZURE or AWS Clouds.
This innovative offering extends beyond the device's inception,
through SEALSQ’s PKI platform, INeS. INeS empowers device creators
with an intuitive interface, allowing for the generation and
management of compliant certificates throughout the device's
lifecycle.
SEALSQ’s VaultIC292 is built on a proven proprietary CCEAL4+
level Tamper Resistant hardware platform which has been the bedrock
for securing sensitive applications like National IDs, e-Passports,
Banking, and more. Featuring a streamlined design, the platform
emphasizes optimal efficiency and minimalistic external
components.
Gweltas Radenac, IoT Business Unit Director, stated, “Our vision
is to empower IoT developers by offering them this
all-encompassing, cost-effective, and efficient secure element. We
want them to concentrate on their core applications, ensuring a
swift time-to-market and economical project implementation.”
General Manager, Bernard Vian, added, “VaultIC292's launch marks
a pivotal moment in creating inherently secure IoT devices and
sensors. It embodies our aspiration to pave the way for a more
secure digital world.”
