[{"type":"text","content":"Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Combined with the upcoming launch of its Post-Quantum Hardware Platform, SEALSQ is setting a new benchmark for secure solutions across industries that demand the highest levels of protection SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (\"SEALSQ\" or \"Company\"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that its MS600X Secure Hardware Platform has been awarded the Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification, one of the highest internationally recognized levels of security certification for hardware products. This achievement underscores SEALSQ’s commitment to delivering robust, reliable, and secure solutions for critical applications in Internet of Things (IoT), smart metering, and beyond. The Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) is a globally accepted standard for evaluating the security of IT products. The EAL5+ Certification is specifically tailored for products designed to protect high-value assets against sophisticated attacks. This level of certification guarantees a thorough and rigorous evaluation process, demonstrating SEALSQ’s dedication to ensuring unparalleled security in its hardware platforms. VaultIC 408 Achieves Key FIPS 140-3 MilestoneIn addition, SEALSQ’s VaultIC 408 secure microcontroller has successfully passed the stringent FIPS 140-3 testing conducted by UL Labs. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3, maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), sets the benchmark for cryptographic module security and compliance in the United States. With testing complete, the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) is now reviewing the results, and final certification is expected within a few months. Of note, SEALSQ’s VaultIC 408 has already garnered significant market traction, having been selected to equip millions of smart hubs as part of the UK’s Smart Metering Program. This program aims to enhance energy efficiency and management across the country. VaultIC 408’s unparalleled security features played a key role in meeting the stringent requirements of this large-scale initiative. What This Means for the IndustryThis dual recognition, Common Criteria EAL5+ for the MS600X and progress toward FIPS 140-3 Certification for the VaultIC 408, pos...
