SEALSQ Advances Toward 2025 Post-Quantum Chip Launch With Quantum-Resistant Platform Testing

Business / Press Release November 28, 2024

November 26, 2024 -- SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or the "Company"), a leader in semiconductor, PKI, and post-quantum technology solutions, today announced it has commenced the quality and functional testing phase for the initial batch of its groundbreaking quantum-resistant hardware platform, the QS7001. The Company remains on track to begin production and delivery as scheduled in 2025.

SEALSQ’s product roadmap for 2025 includes the highly anticipated launch of its Quantum-Resistant Secure Chips portfolio, featuring the QS7001 Open Platform and the QVault Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Engineering samples of the QS7001 are currently undergoing rigorous physical and logical validation as part of an extensive testing campaign.

Looking ahead to 2025, SEALSQ is preparing to meet robust market demand. Ongoing discussions signal strong interest from existing and new customers in deploying quantum-resistant solutions to secure critical infrastructures in a post-quantum world.

Jean Pierre Enguent, Chief Technology Officer of SEALSQ, stated, “The testing campaign is delivering highly promising results, reinforcing our commitment to the anticipated Q1 2025 availability timeline. At the same time, the QVault TPM firmware stack is progressing through integration and evaluation, positioning us to achieve our goal of delivering to our first customer by late 2025.”

The QS7001 represents a cutting-edge solution in post-quantum security. It is a RISC-V-based, quantum-resistant hardware platform with CCEAL5+ certification, supporting Kyber and Dilithium post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. Designed as an open platform, it enables the development of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or customized firmware by customers. The QVault TPM, on the other hand, will include a pre-configured, FIPS 140-3 and TCG-certified firmware stack, delivering the highest standards in hardware security to protect sensitive systems in a post-quantum era.

The global TPM market is experiencing significant growth, with projections estimating it will reach approximately USD 5.97 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2024 to 2030. Similarly, the ASIC market is anticipated to expand, with forecasts indicating a market size of USD 35.5 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period.

SEALSQ remains committed to advancing security technologies and enabling businesses to future-proof their operations against emerging quantum computing threats.
