\n WISeKey to Launch Next Generation of Quantum RootKey in Q1 2025<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Geneva, Switzerland \u2013 December 18, 2024 \u2013 WISeKey International Holding Ltd (\u201cWISeKey\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX: WIHN), a global leader in cybersecurity, AI, blockchain, and IoT technologies, in collaboration with the OISTE.ORG Foundation, is developing the next generation of Quantum Root of Trust (\u201cQuantum RootKey\u201d), an advanced cryptographic solution designed to secure digital identities, systems, and communications against the imminent threat posed by quantum computing. Launch of the Quantum RootKey is expected as early as Q1 2025.<\/p>\n

The Quantum RootKey employs Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms to protect against the vulnerabilities of traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC, which can be broken by quantum computers. By leveraging algorithms such as CRYSTALS-Dilithium and FALCON, the Quantum RootKey ensures that encryption remains secure even as quantum computing evolves.<\/p>\n

At the core of this solution is the OISTE\/WISeKey Root of Trust (RoT) and advanced Post-Quantum-Cryptography PKI platform (PQC-PKI), which provides a secure cryptographic anchor for storing and managing private keys. All cryptographic operations occur within a protected hardware environment, such as Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), or specialized secure chips. This hardware-based implementation guards against physical and side-channel attacks.<\/p>\n

The OISTE\/WISeKey PQC-PKI facilitates secure key generation, authentication, and encryption processes. It generates quantum-resistant key pairs, securely stores private keys, and uses these keys to authenticate users, devices, and communications. By integrating with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems, the Quantum RootKey supports the issuance and management of quantum-safe digital certificates. Additionally, it ensures the integrity of firmware updates and data transfers by providing robust protection against tampering.<\/p>\n

WISeKey, through its semiconductor subsidiary SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ”), is also launching a new \u201cQuantum Lab\u201d that makes its PQC-PKI platform available to companies and researchers, enabling the issuance of quantum-resistant digital certificates for evaluation and pilot projects. The new \u201cSEALSQ Quantum Lab\u201d aims to be a reference information point for companies seeking awareness and experience in these new technologies.<\/p>\n
