[{"type":"text","content":"Geneva, Switzerland, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The QS7001 Chip in now going through certification process while its release is set for Q4 2025 The QS7001 Chip strengthens blockchain ecosystems against quantum threats with NIST-compliant post quantum cryptographic algorithms SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (\"SEALSQ\" or \"Company\"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that it has finalized testing and started the certification process of its QS7001 Post-Quantum Secure Chip (“QS7001 Chip”), a breakthrough security solution designed to protect blockchain infrastructures and cryptocurrency wallets from the rapidly emerging threats posed by quantum computing. The release of QS7001 Chip is scheduled to be released before 2025 year-end. The QS7001 Chip is the latest advancement in SEALSQ’s quantum-resilient technology stack, offering robust protection for blockchain platforms such as Hedera and WeCan, both of which are currently integrating SEALSQ’s post-quantum security into their core infrastructure. The QS7001 Chip leverages quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, including NIST-recommended CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, to ensure long-term data and transaction integrity across digital ecosystems. “As blockchain adoption grows across financial services, identity management, and tokenization platforms, the need for quantum-secure infrastructure is no longer optional,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. “With the QS7001 Chip, SEALSQ provides blockchain platforms with the tools to transition to post-quantum cryptography seamlessly, defending their users and data against tomorrow’s threats today.” Addressing the Quantum Threat to Blockchain SecurityBlockchain and cryptocurrency platforms rely on asymmetric cryptography to secure digital transactions and protect digital assets. However, advancements in quantum computing pose a serious risk to these systems by enabling future attackers to derive private keys from publicly available blockchain data. Even so-called \"cold storage\" wallets are vulnerable once a transaction exposes a public key, leaving it open to quantum-enabled decryption. SEALSQ’s QS7001 Chip directly addresses this threat with key features including: Quantum-Resistant Cryptography: Implements p...
