WISeKey International Holding Ltd., a leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions operating as a holding company,  announced that its subsidiary SEALSQ Corp (“SEALSQ”) and Accubits Technologies Inc. (“Accubits”), a global solution provider focused on enabling enterprises to apply artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies in their business,  announced their cutting-edge initiative to dramatically fortify the security infrastructure of semiconductors and the expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. The partnership aims to harness the potential of Generative AI and Large Language Models, marking a monumental shift in cybersecurity norms.

 

As part of this pioneering collaboration, WISeKey is creating a novel suite of Trust Services centered on real-world applications of Post-Quantum Encryption (PQE) encompassing digital signatures, encryptions, secure communication channels (TLS), key exchanges, and email security.

 

Carlos Moreira, WISeKey’s CEO, commented, "Our implementation of PQE hinges on the 'hybrid signatures' concept, a blend of conventional and PQE signatures within a single X.509 certificate. This approach guarantees backward compatibility while pioneering a new frontier in cybersecurity services."

 

SEALSQ’s post-quantum technology has emerged as an indispensable instrument in preserving data privacy and integrity in IoT networks, offering robust protection against potential breaches by quantum computers, which can theoretically undermine conventional encryption methods.

 

By integrating SEALSQ with Generative AI capabilities, the partnership will facilitate several advancements, primarily for the IoT sector. These will include secure data processing, enhanced user privacy, secure software updates, confidential machine learning, encrypted command and control, and secure data sharing.
