SEALSQ Steps Up in Japan for Quantum Security Push

SEALSQ Corp is making waves in Japan by forming strategic partnerships and showcasing its tech prowess at key events. This move supports Japan’s visionary plan to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2035. This aligns with guidelines from the Japanese National Cyber Command Office and the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The company is showcasing the QS7001 secure System on Chip (SoC) and the QVault Trusted Platform Module (TPM). These are essential to protecting against “harvest now, decrypt later” threats. CEO Carlos Moreira noted that Japan’s focus on quantum security aligns perfectly with SEALSQ’s “Quantum Made in USA” strategy. A partnership with MIWA Lock Co., Ltd. highlights this, as they introduce Japan’s first Matter-compatible smart lock.

Powering Japan’s Shift to Post-Quantum Cryptography

Japan aims to fully implement post-quantum cryptography across government systems by 2035. SEALSQ is vital in this transition, offering cutting-edge software and hardware solutions. The Japanese National Cyber Command Office sees the adoption of hybrid cryptographic systems as crucial to counter sophisticated cyber threats.

SEALSQ will show its capabilities at events like the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Member Meeting in Yokohama and the Wi-SUN Open House in Tokyo. These events will highlight VaultIC secure elements for IoT and PQC-integrated smart utility networks, emphasizing adherence to strict security standards, including post-quantum-safe encryption.

Strategic Partnerships Drive Innovation

With Japan’s infrastructure evolving, the need for robust security solutions is mounting. SEALSQ is addressing this demand by partnering with Okaya Electronics Corp to accelerate PQC technologies deployment. This partnership leverages Okaya’s network in major cities to ensure SEALSQ’s projects in Japan thrive.

Notably, the VaultIC292 secure element is integrated into Hosiden’s Matter-compatible smart lock, underlining SEALSQ’s strong security solutions. Additionally, SEALSQ is securing public key infrastructure contracts with Japanese manufacturers eyeing global expansion.

Strengthening IoT Security Frameworks

With more interconnected devices, strong security frameworks are crucial. SEALSQ offers solutions that meet NIST guidelines and Japan’s cybersecurity goals. VaultIC secure elements ensure IoT compliance and facilitate PQC in smart utility networks, aligning with the Wi-SUN Alliance’s emphasis on post-quantum-safe encryption.

Advancing National Cybersecurity Objectives

SEALSQ’s involvement in industry discussions underscores its role in aligning with Japan’s National Cyber Command Office’s cybersecurity plans. Their PQC solutions meet NIST and CNSA 2.0 standards, offering advanced encryption solutions.

As SEALSQ works toward full PQC integration by 2035, they will showcase these developments at events like the Suzuka Japanese Grand Prix, highlighting their position as an official quantum tech partner for the BWT Alpine Formula One Racing Team.
