SEALSQ Showcases Its Latest Secure Elements Designed to Optimize PKI Operations For IoT Devices at Embedded World Electronic Fair in Nuremberg, Germany

Geneva, Switzerland, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company") (NASDAQ: LAES), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that it is showcasing its digital security product offering at the Embedded World Electronic Fair in Nuremberg, Germany, which is taking place from April 9-11, 2024. SEALSQ’s product offering will be available at the Ineltek GmbH booth (#3A-528), with a particular focus on the VaultIC292 secure element that has been designed for IoT security, featuring PKI crypto-acceleration and pre-provisioned X509 certificates for Matter (DACs).

A growing number of IoT industry standards like Matter and the Product Security Verified Mark, or national cybersecurity labels like the US Cyber Trust Mark or the EU Cyber Resilience Act, have been recently re-shaping the IoT security landscape. These standards advocate for IoT devices to securely embed a unique trusted identity in the shape of certificates and private keys to perform secure mutual authentication, setting PKI operations as a cornerstone of the IoT security framework.

SEALSQ secure elements like the VaultIC 292 are optimized to accelerate public key algorithms such as RSA, Diffie Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which are the basis of digital signature and key exchange protocols that make secure transactions possible. By providing public key acceleration, and X509 certificates pre-provisioning options (including Matter DACs), the VaultIC family enables IoT devices to authenticate faster with one-another and with cloud services, which is essential for IoT networks scalability. Scaling with secure transactions is difficult because performing public key math in software can quickly saturate the device’s general-purpose processor (MCU).

By partnering with SEALSQ as single security provider, IoT Device makers can expect a myriad of benefits, including:

• Accelerated time-to-market for achieving compliance to major IoT standards such as Matter, Product Security Verified Mark, and US Cyber Trust Mark.
• Easier and faster device commissioning and improved performance and scalability.
• Cost savings by eliminating the need for technology investment, maintenance, staffing, and ongoing compliance expenses.
• Flexible deployment options, offering on-premises, hosted, or batch issuance solutions.
• Simplified management of device attestation certificates and product attestation intermediates via the SEALSQ INeS CMS Platform for IoT.
• Enhanced efficiency through a scalable platform capable of securely signing device updates.

SEALSQ's secure elements for IoT provide the following capabilities and benefits:
