SEALSQ Corp said its QS7001 Post-Quantum Secure Element received NIST Entropy Source Validation certificate #E333 under SP 800-90B. The company said the result was confirmed after validation testing and recorded on the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program registry.
NIST SP 800-90B covers testing and validation for entropy sources used in random bit generators for cryptographic applications. SEALSQ stated that a validated entropy source is a prerequisite for FIPS 140-3 certification and for Common Criteria EAL5+ certification targets.
According to the company, the QS7001 entropy source uses a ring oscillator-based physical noise source. SEALSQ said the entropy source was classified as a physical noise source with an “Open for Reuse” status.
SEALSQ said validation testing was performed by SERMA Safety and Security, an accredited CSTL based in France, with validation confirmed on May 27, 2026. The company said the ESV submission involved development of a stochastic model, including detailed noise source characterization and statistical analysis, along with documentation prepared by its teams in Meyreuil, France and the IC'ALPS subsidiary (SMH).
“Achieving NIST SP 800-90B Entropy Source Validation for our QS7001 is a critical and hard-earned milestone. Entropy is the bedrock of cryptographic security, without a validated entropy source, no cryptographic module can claim FIPS 140-3 compliance. This certification reflects the depth of engineering expertise and rigorous scientific discipline our teams bring to every layer of our silicon design process. We are on a clear and accelerating trajectory toward full FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria certification of the QS7001, and this achievement reinforces our commitment to delivering products that meet the highest standards demanded by governments, critical infrastructure operators, and defense organizations worldwide.” Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, said. “This result is the product of excellent teamwork across our Meyreuil hardware team and our IC'ALPS subsidiary. Special recognition goes to the team members who developed the stochastic model and the detailed documentation that made this validation possible. This is an important building block for both the FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria certification efforts and demonstrates SEALSQ's commitment to rigorous, internationally recognized security validation.” Jean-Pierre Enguent, VP Engineering at SEALSQ, said.
