Sealsq announces development of QASIC

SEALSQ (LAES) announced its integrated strategy for IC’Alps, the French ASIC design house recently acquired by SEALSQ. This strategic integration positions SEALSQ as the only company capable of delivering secure hardware in all forms – Catalog ICs, Custom ICs, and Security IP – to meet the growing demand for quantum-resistant and sovereign semiconductor solutions. The combined SEALSQ-IC’Alps teams are now in a unique position to execute a three-phase roadmap which includes: In the short-term: commercialization of the first PQC standard chip on the market. In the mid-term: development of custom IC solutions, the QASIC – Quantum ASIC and related security IP offering. In the longer-term: providing secure system solutions for next-generation architectures, including Chiplet-based Hardware Security Modules tightly coupled with pre-certified secure enclaves and IP to be integrated into larger chips. The QASIC initiative will form the cornerstone of SEALSQ’s roadmap for Post-Quantum Hardware Security Modules and secure microcontrollers used in critical infrastructures, defense systems, IoT devices, and AI applications.
