WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey” or the “Company”)
(SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity and IoT
company operating as a holding company, today announced the
successful execution of its groundbreaking Proof of Concept (PoC)
for Transactional-IoT (t-IoT) technology codenamed Project
SEALCOIN. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the
disintermediation of service providers for interconnected devices,
showcasing the transformative potential of SEALCOIN's innovative
platform. Of note, WISeKey is in the process of establishing
SEALCOIN AG, a Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”) to house its
decentralized technology project, SEALCOIN.
Transactional-IoT refers to the automated communication and
transactions between devices within the Internet of Things (IoT)
ecosystem. SEALCOIN’s PoC demonstrates the use of advanced
technology embedded within a semiconductor device to validate and
verify transactions autonomously. At the heart of this innovation
is the Secure Element, an embedded security hardware that protects
the private key and certificate representing the device's unique
identity. Leveraging elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) compatible
with Hedera’s Decentralized Ledger Technology (DLT), the device can
simultaneously authenticate and sign transactions on-chain.
Key Highlights of the PoC:
- Disintermediation of Service Providers: By
enabling devices to transact directly with one another, SEALCOIN
eliminates the need for intermediaries, enhancing efficiency and
reducing costs in the IoT ecosystem.
- Advanced Security: The Secure Element ensures
that the device’s set of keys are protected, maintaining the
highest standards of security and trust.
- Seamless Integration with Hedera: Utilizing
ECC, the same cryptographic algorithm employed by DLT, devices can
authenticate and sign transactions in real-time, ensuring secure
and transparent on-chain interactions.
Mr. Moreira, WISeKey’s CEO noted, “This significant milestone
triggers the launch of the development of the SEALCOIN platform. We
are excited to announce that we are starting these developments and
are aiming to deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) by Q4 2024.
The SEALCOIN Platform will further enhance the capabilities of our
Transactional-IoT technology, providing a comprehensive solution
for secure, autonomous device interactions.”
Furthermore, SEALCOIN is leveraging Hedera's Decentralized
Ledger Technology as the underlying decentralized infrastructure.
Hedera's DLT offers high performance, security, and stability,
making it an ideal choice for supporting the seamless and efficient
operation of the SEALCOIN platform.
The successful execution of this PoC reaffirms SEALCOIN's
commitment to driving innovation and setting new standards in the
IoT landscape. As the company continues to advance its technology,
the team is excited to explore new possibilities and applications
that further the mission of creating a safer, more interconnected
world.
