SEALSQ Validates Quantum-Resistant QS7001 Platform for 2025 Launch

SEALSQ Corp has successfully validated its QS7001 quantum-resistant hardware platform, marking a significant milestone in the development of post-quantum cryptographic solutions. The company announced that the chip, which is built on a RISC-V architecture, will be available to customers in the fourth quarter of 2025. The validation process confirmed the performance of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, including Kyber and Dilithium, alongside supporting hardware components.

The QS7001 platform is designed to counter quantum computing attacks and features hardware accelerators for cryptographic functions, low-power design for IoT devices, and tamper-resistant security modules. SEALSQ has begun the Common Criteria EAL5+ certification process with Serma labs and made the platform available for early adopters to integrate with their firmware. The company is targeting applications in smart meters, automotive electronic control units, and medical devices, with expected benefits including protection against quantum attacks, compact integration capabilities, and compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act requirements for connected devices.

In addition to the QS7001, SEALSQ is developing the QVault TPM, a Trusted Platform Module integrating TPM 2.0 functionality on the QS7001 platform. The QVault TPM is undergoing Common Criteria certification and is planned for launch in the first half of 2026, pending certification by the Trusted Computing Group. The company's CTO, Jean Pierre Enguent, expressed excitement about the validation of the QS7001 and the move toward certification, stating that the platform enables device makers to implement the security they need to stay protected, compliant, and competitive in the face of advancements in quantum computing.

SEALSQ Corp, based in Geneva, specializes in the development of semiconductors, public key infrastructure, and post-quantum technology hardware and software products. The company's focus on quantum-resistant solutions positions it at the forefront of the race to secure devices against the threats posed by quantum computing. With the validation of the QS7001 and the ongoing development of the QVault TPM, SEALSQ is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for secure and compliant cryptographic solutions in various industries.
