SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) has announced a strategic partnership with Hedera, a leading decentralized blockchain network, to create next-generation quantum-resistant semiconductors. This collaboration aims to integrate quantum-resistant security solutions into critical infrastructures, ensuring protection against the emerging risks posed by quantum computing.
The partnership will focus on SEALSQ’s QS7001 quantum-resistant hardware platform, which is currently undergoing testing and validation ahead of its production launch in 2025. The quantum-resistant chips developed through this collaboration will safeguard digital infrastructure, including blockchain and cryptographic systems, from the potential vulnerabilities introduced by quantum computing.
As quantum computers advance, traditional cryptographic systems may become susceptible to attacks, particularly in tasks like integer factorization and discrete logarithms. SEALSQ’s quantum-resistant hardware, along with Hedera’s blockchain/distributed ledger technology (DLT), will help future-proof critical communication and transaction systems against these threats. SEALSQ’s products, such as the QS7001 Open Platform and QVault Trusted Platform Module (TPM), are designed to integrate with Hedera’s network, reinforcing long-term security standards.
This partnership represents a crucial step in the ongoing efforts to create quantum-secure infrastructures for industries reliant on digital transactions and data integrity. SEALSQ and Hedera’s joint efforts will not only strengthen the security of current systems but also pave the way for more robust, future-proof technologies in a post-quantum world.
