SEALSQ Corp tests post-quantum cryptography in robotics

SEALSQ Corp tested post-quantum cryptographic technology with WISeRobot.ch ahead of a Davos Roundtable scheduled for Jan. 21, 2026, and described the work as a response to expected vulnerabilities in current cryptographic standards as quantum computing advanced.

The company said it planned to integrate Quantum Resistant Algorithms (QRA) and hardware-based roots of trust into robotic platforms to preserve long-term security, integrity, and trusted operation for AI-driven and autonomous systems, and stated a goal of establishing a new security benchmark for autonomous systems used in critical environments such as government, healthcare, and smart infrastructure.

The testing was conducted using WISeRobot.ch, which the release described as a robotics platform designed to demonstrate post-quantum security embedded at the silicon, firmware, and system levels; the platform was set to show secure digital identity, trusted human–machine and machine-to-machine interactions, and end-to-end protected communications in real time.

The first proof of concept was planned as a live, interactive presence to animate one of the SEALSQ/WISeKey Davos Roundtables on Jan. 21, 2026; participation in the SEALSQ–WISeKey Davos Roundtable was by registration only, and the release invited interested stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and the investment community to register in advance.

“Robotics and AI are rapidly becoming part of our critical infrastructure,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. “By testing post-quantum technology in robotics and bringing this first P.O.C. to animate the Davos Roundtable, our aim is to demonstrate how trust, security, and human-centric values can be embedded into intelligent machines from the very beginning.”

The release included forward-looking statements regarding SEALSQ's strategy, financial performance, expected events, and other non-historical items.
