Geneva, Switzerland, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

SEALSQ Corp ( LAES ) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a leader in semiconductors, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hardware and software solutions, today announced its readiness to support the Wi-SUN Alliance and its members in addressing the emerging challenges of quantum computing threats to smart energy infrastructure. SEALSQ's ( LAES ) advanced post-quantum (PQ) chips and comprehensive PKI services position the Company to provide expert guidance and solutions for developing transition roadmaps toward full quantum resilience in smart meter ecosystems.

As quantum computing advances pose risks such as "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks to current cryptographic systems, the smart energy sector, including Wi-SUN-compliant networks, requires proactive preparation for hybrid and post-quantum cryptographic migrations. While Wi-SUN protocols already incorporate strong security features like 256-bit AES for data protection, SEALSQ ( LAES ) stands prepared to collaborate with the Alliance and its members to enhance these frameworks with NIST-approved PQC algorithms, ensuring long-term compliance and interoperability in large-scale IoT deployments for smart utilities.

SEALSQ's ( LAES ) QS7001 secure System-on-Chip (SoC) and QVault Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integrate hardware roots of trust with PQC capabilities, while the INeS PKI platform delivers scalable device identity management, secure provisioning, certificate lifecycle handling, and support for cryptographic agility, critical tools for constructing phased transition roadmaps that minimize disruption while achieving quantum resilience.

SEALSQ ( LAES ) is already actively engaged with Wi-SUN Alliance members, including through its established partnership with Landis+Gyr, a leading smart metering provider. This collaboration utilizes SEALSQ's ( LAES ) INeS PKI and secure elements to strengthen network security and meet regulatory requirements for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

"Quantum threats demand forward-thinking collaboration across standards bodies and industry leaders," said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ ( LAES ). "SEALSQ ( LAES ) is fully prepared to bring our PQ chip expertise and PKI leadership to the Wi-SUN Alliance, helping members navigate the transition to quantum-resilient systems with practical, hardware-anchored solutions and customized roadmaps that safeguard smart meter ecosystems for the future."

Phil Beecher, President and CEO of the Wi-SUN Alliance, emphasizing the organization's attention to this critical topic, noted, "We're looking at the post-quantum topic carefully and are glad to have members like SEALSQ ( LAES ) contributing their expertise to help advance quantum-resilient capabilities across our ecosystem."

SEALSQ ( LAES ) will participate actively in the Wi-SUN Open House 2026 on March 27, 2026, at Ochanomizu Sola City Hall West in Tokyo. This important full-day event focuses on the latest advancements in Wi-SUN FAN and HAN technologies, massive IoT, and smart utility networks. SEALSQ ( LAES ) looks forward to engaging with Alliance members and stakeholders to discuss opportunities for enhancing Wi-SUN protocols and building quantum-resilient compliance strategies.

Following the Wi-SUN Open House, SEALSQ ( LAES ) will be inviting a selection of customers and local partners to celebrate SEALSQ's ( LAES ) partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Racing Team during the Suzuka Japanese Grand Prix weekend (March 27-29, 2026). This private gathering will highlight the innovative application of quantum-secure technologies across high-performance sectors, from smart energy infrastructure to elite motorsport.
