Sealsq, WISeKey unveils quantum-resilient security framework for robotics

SEALSQ Corp (LAES) in cooperation with its parent company, WISeKey International Holding (WKEY), announced a breakthrough in securing and controlling the next generation of intelligent machines as billions of robots are poised to enter every aspect of society. By combining SEALSQ’s post-quantum semiconductor technology with WISeKey’s Root of Trust infrastructure, the companies are delivering a critical solution to one of the most pressing technological challenges of our time: ensuring that future autonomous robots remain under trusted human command. SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips are engineered to resist the enormous processing power of future quantum computers, which will render today’s encryption obsolete. These chips embed advanced cryptographic protection directly into the silicon, making it possible to secure robot identities, encrypt communications, and guarantee software integrity, right from the point of manufacture. This protection is essential for a world in which machines will operate independently, often in sensitive environments or critical infrastructure.
