SEALSQ Launches U.S.-Based Post-Quantum Root of Trust

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) announced the upcoming launch of a U.S.-based Post-Quantum Root of Trust, scheduled to go live on November 21, 2025. This infrastructure aims to enable American enterprises and government agencies to manage quantum-resistant digital identities and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services domestically.

The platform focuses on enhancing national cybersecurity and digital sovereignty by providing locally controlled, quantum-secure certificate issuance, device management, and provisioning tailored for Internet of Things (IoT), industrial control systems, telecommunications, and cloud environments.

As an extension of the INeS platform, the U.S. Post-Quantum Root supports secure device onboarding and scalable credential management. Organizations will be able to generate Post-Quantum Certificates and device identities compliant with CNSA 2.0, addressing supply chain vulnerabilities and preparing for federal Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) mandates.

The Root of Trust integrates with SEALSQ’s semiconductor lineup, including the Quantum Shield QS7001 platform, ensuring security against potential quantum threats. U.S. agencies and critical infrastructure operators are undertaking hardware trust anchors and PQC migration under NIST guidelines.

In collaboration with WISeSat, a subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ aims to enhance satellite security with a hardware-secured post-quantum trust layer for both space and terrestrial IoT networks. This partnership is intended to bolster the reliability of space assets and maintain quantum-resistant connectivity.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, stated, “Deploying a Post-Quantum Root of Trust on American soil underscores our dedication to fortifying U.S. cybersecurity and shielding critical ecosystems from quantum-era threats. By uniting U.S.-hosted trust services with our post-quantum hardware, SEALSQ delivers a future-proof platform for secure IoT and cloud deployments.” Starting November 21, developers can issue quantum-resistant certificates and launch pilot programs through the INeS IoT Security Platform.
