SEALSQ’s Secure Digital Identity Ecosystem, Designed to Fortify 5G Networks Against Cyber Threats, Safeguards User Privacy and Upholds Data Sovereignty

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that its secure digital identity ecosystem empowers and fortifies next-generation 5G networks against cyber-Threats, safeguards user privacy, and upholds data sovereignty. Furthermore, SEALSQ’s technology enables customers to achieve regulatory compliance and widespread trust and allows for a faster adoption of new technologies across all sectors, especially those that rely heavily on data integrity and operational trust.

The integrity of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems is vital for securing digital ecosystems with WebTrust Roots, particularly Root Certificate Authorities (Root CAs), forming the foundation of this hierarchy. Root CAs issue and verify digital certificates for subordinate Certification Authorities (CAs), and any compromise in a Root CA can endanger the entire trust chain, affecting all entities authenticated by its certificates. WISeKey’s trusted OISTE/WISeKey Root CA enhances PKI security, providing a robust foundation for issuing digital certificates and ensuring the legitimacy and security of digital identities.

Digital certificates, issued by CAs under a Root CA’s oversight, authenticate the identities of websites, individuals and devices, and enable secure, trusted data transmission over the internet. For critical security needs, Extended Validation (EV) certificates offer additional verification, by providing a higher level of assurance regarding the entity behind a website. Many industries and governments mandate the use of digital certificates from WebTrust-compliant Root CAs, as they are embedded in major browsers and operating systems, ensuring universal trust across a wide range of platforms. WISeKey’s WebTrust compliance means that its Root CAs meet stringent regulatory standards, further enabling customers to achieve regulatory compliance and widespread trust.

Quantum Threats and the Need for Commercial and Industrial Cybersecurity Solutions
As quantum computing progresses, it promises to solve complex problems at speeds previously unimaginable. This new capability unlocks vast commercial and industrial applications across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, where quantum computing could accelerate drug discovery, and logistics, where it could optimize supply chains for greater resilience. However, quantum computing also presents a significant security challenge. It has the potential to break traditional cryptographic protocols, jeopardizing the security of all digital communications and transactions.
