SEALSQ to Expand Traditional PKI Offerings with Post-Quantum Cryptography and Post-Quantum Semiconductors, Enabling Future-Proof Security

Geneva, Switzerland, September 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or the “Company”), a company focused on the development and sale of semiconductor, PKI and post-quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that it plans to complement traditional legacy Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology with advanced post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and post-quantum semiconductors. This development reflects SEALSQ’s commitment to staying ahead of the rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape and protecting sensitive data from emerging quantum threats.

For over two decades, traditional cryptographic standards such as RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) have formed the foundation of internet security, protecting billions of online interactions and transactions. However, with the advent of quantum computing, these standards face significant vulnerabilities. As quantum technology advances, it becomes increasingly likely that powerful quantum computers will be able to break RSA and ECC encryption, rendering existing security methods inadequate.
