SEALSQ Showcases Its Latest Secure Elements Designed to Optimize PKI Operations For IoT Devices at Embedded World Electronic Fair in Nuremberg, Germany
April 11 2024 - 9:00AM
SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company") (NASDAQ: LAES), a company that
focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and
Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today
announced that it is showcasing its digital security product
offering at the Embedded World Electronic Fair in Nuremberg,
Germany, which is taking place from April 9-11, 2024. SEALSQ’s
product offering will be available at the Ineltek GmbH booth
(#3A-528), with a particular focus on the VaultIC292 secure element
that has been designed for IoT security, featuring PKI
crypto-acceleration and pre-provisioned X509 certificates for
Matter (DACs).
A growing number of IoT industry standards like
Matter and the Product Security Verified Mark, or national
cybersecurity labels like the US Cyber Trust Mark or the EU Cyber
Resilience Act, have been recently re-shaping the IoT security
landscape. These standards advocate for IoT devices to securely
embed a unique trusted identity in the shape of certificates and
private keys to perform secure mutual authentication, setting PKI
operations as a cornerstone of the IoT security framework.
SEALSQ secure elements like the VaultIC 292 are
optimized to accelerate public key algorithms such as RSA, Diffie
Hellman and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which are the basis
of digital signature and key exchange protocols that make secure
transactions possible. By providing public key acceleration, and
X509 certificates pre-provisioning options (including Matter DACs),
the VaultIC family enables IoT devices to authenticate faster with
one-another and with cloud services, which is essential for IoT
networks scalability. Scaling with secure transactions is difficult
because performing public key math in software can quickly saturate
the device’s general-purpose processor (MCU).
By partnering with SEALSQ as single security provider, IoT
Device makers can expect a myriad of benefits, including:
- Accelerated
time-to-market for achieving compliance to major IoT standards such
as Matter, Product Security Verified Mark, and US Cyber Trust
Mark.
- Easier and
faster device commissioning and improved performance and
scalability.
- Cost savings by
eliminating the need for technology investment, maintenance,
staffing, and ongoing compliance expenses.
- Flexible
deployment options, offering on-premises, hosted, or batch issuance
solutions.
- Simplified
management of device attestation certificates and product
attestation intermediates via the SEALSQ INeS CMS Platform for
IoT.
- Enhanced
efficiency through a scalable platform capable of securely signing
device updates.
SEALSQ's secure elements for IoT provide the following
capabilities and benefits:
- Secure
Boot: Ensures that a device only runs software that is
verified by the manufacturer. This prevents unauthorized software
from compromising the device at boot time.
- Secure
Key Storage: A secure area, either physically or through
encryption, where cryptographic keys are stored. These keys are
essential for encrypting data, secure communication, and
authenticating the device to other systems or networks.
-
Accelerated Secure Device Authentication:
Utilizing unique identifiers and cryptographic keys, the chip
ensures that the device can authenticate itself to networks and
services securely without saturating the general MCU’s calculation
capabilities. This prevents impersonation and unauthorized
access.
-
Accelerated Data Protection: Encrypts sensitive
data both at rest and during transmission, ensuring that even if
data is intercepted, it cannot be deciphered by unauthorized
parties.
- Secure
Firmware Updates: Ensures that updates to the device's
firmware are authenticated and verified before being applied. This
protects against the installation of malicious firmware.
-
Pre-Provisioning of Matter DACs or other X509
Certificates: Integration with IoT standards like Matter
for smart home devices ensures faster interoperability and enhanced
security measures, such as secure device commissioning and
communication.
In the IoT ecosystem, where devices are often remotely deployed
and manage sensitive data or critical functions, establishing a
robust security framework is essential. It mitigates risks related
to device tampering, data breaches, and unauthorized access,
ensuring that devices operate securely and reliably. The SEALSQ
secure elements for IoT ensure that devices can be trusted from the
moment they are powered on, throughout their deployment and
operational life, safeguarding the broader IoT ecosystem's
integrity and trustworthiness.
About SEALSQ
SEALSQ is at the forefront of technological innovation in
digital security and semiconductor technology. With a focus on
developing solutions that address the challenges of the
post-quantum era, SEALSQ is committed to ensuring the security and
integrity of digital interactions and transactions across various
industries.
SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions
based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while
developing Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products.
Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from
Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home
Appliances, and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive,
Industrial Automation and Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to
cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a
quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they
may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are
currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new
cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks.
