Geneva, Switzerland, August 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –
SEALSQ Corp. (NASDAQ: LAES), (“SEALSQ” or the “Company”), a company focused on the development and sale of semiconductor, public key infrastructure, and post-quantum technology products, today announced the launch of “Convergence,” a visionary initiative designed to integrate the Company’s most advanced technology projects and achievements into a global roadmap. One. These include artificial intelligence (AI), post-quantum cryptography, tokenization, satellite communication, advanced cryptography, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), machine-to-machine cryptography, WISeID decentralized digital identity of people and things, root-of-trust technology and Certification Authority (CA).
At the heart of this initiative is WISeSat, which focuses on space technology for secure satellite communications, specifically for Internet of Things applications, and which today operates a constellation of 22 satellites orbiting the Earth. WISeSat is a subsidiary of WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, blockchain and IoT, and also the parent company of SEALSQ. WISeSat’s satellite infrastructure enables global and secure connectivity for IoT devices, digital identities, tokenization platforms and DePIN applications. Using a space-based trust layer, SEALSQ makes decentralized services more resilient, borderless, and secure against quantum threats.
The Convergence Initiative is based on SEALSQ’s Quantum Roadmap, which anticipates the disruptive impact of quantum computing on digital infrastructures. By combining this roadmap with AI-driven automation, decentralized identity, and the satellite network of WISeSat, and the Root of Trust of WISeKey, SEALSQ’s goal is to build a flexible, intelligent, and interoperable digital trust architecture, ensuring that every person, object, and machine can authenticate and interact securely on a global scale.
Why the convergence now?
-
Quantum threats: The risks of quantum computing threaten to make current encryption obsolete. Convergence aims to embed post-quantum cryptography across chips, satellites and IoT infrastructures.
-
AI integration: AI systems require reliable data. Convergence works to ensure AI operates within a secure identity and cryptographic framework, maintaining integrity and ethics.
-
Root of trust: WISeKey’s Root of Trust and CA technology will serve as the cryptographic anchor for digital identities, certificates and authentication around the world.
-
Digital ID: Decentralized WISeID can provide portable, blockchain-based trusted credentials for people and things, enabling seamless authentication.
-
Global Connection: WISeSat’s 22 operational satellites provide secure, borderless digital services, extending infrastructures of trust beyond terrestrial constraints.
-
New economies: Tokenization and machine-to-machine payments have the potential to allow machines and humans to exchange value autonomously, opening up new decentralized economic models.
-
Startup ecosystem: The convergence also extends to the startup ecosystem currently working with SEALSQ, whose innovations were showcased at the recent SEALSQ Quantum Days.
This ecosystem of partners and innovators aims to accelerate the practical deployment of convergence technologies in diverse fields, from fintech and healthtech to space and mobility.
Use cases already deployed by SEALSQ and WISeKey
The Convergence Initiative builds on proven deployments across multiple sectors:
-
health care: SEALSQ secure chips are used in innovative applications such as remote patient monitoring to protect sensitive patient data and enable trusted authentication for doctors and hospitals.
-
IoT security: WISeKey’s PKI and Root of Trust technology secures more than 1.6 billion devices worldwide, from connected cars from electric vehicle charging stations to internet gateways or air conditioning systems.
-
Digital ID: WISeID is used by governments and organizations for citizen ID programs, e-passports and secure corporate logins, ensuring trusted access.
-
Space infrastructure: The WISeSat constellation of 22 satellites provides secure, near-direct IoT connectivity for logistics, agriculture and environmental monitoring.
-
Financial services and coding: Through blockchain and tokenization platforms, WISeKey enables the creation and management of digital assets and NFTs associated with real-world objects and art.
-
Smart cities: SEALSQ technology secures power networks and controls access to smart buildings providing tamper-resistant secure elements and public key infrastructure (PKI) services.
“SEALSQ has been laying the foundation of digital trust for more than two decades,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. “Through convergence, we are unifying our AI, quantum resilience, satellite, digital identity, tokenization, and root-of-trust capabilities into a single architecture. By extending convergence to our startup ecosystem, as highlighted during the SEALSQ Quantum Days event, we are ensuring that innovation and collaboration drive this new paradigm forward. The fact that these technologies are already deployed, securing billions Transactions and devices around the world demonstrate the maturity and global impact of our vision.”
The ten basic pillars of convergence:
-
Artificial intelligence and the quantum roadmap – Integrating secure AI with post-quantum resilience.
-
Post-quantum security – Include quantum-resistant encryption across systems and devices.
-
WISeID Decentralized digital identity – Providing trusted, blockchain-based identities for people and things.
-
WISeKey is a root of trust and certification body – Providing a global cryptographic anchor for authentication and trust services.
-
Coding – Operating digital assets and autonomous machine economics.
-
Waysat – Operating a constellation of 22 satellites to expand secure global communication.
-
Encryption – Enhance trust with advanced, scalable and quantum-resistant encryption solutions.
-
Demin – Enabling decentralized and community-supported infrastructure.
-
Machine-to-machine coding – Enabling IoT ecosystems to transact and exchange value autonomously.
-
Startup ecosystem – Expanding convergence through startups showcased at SEALSQ Quantum Days, accelerating innovation in real-world use cases.
Through convergence, SEALSQ aims to position itself as the orchestrator of a quantum-resilient, AI-enabled, satellite-enabled and identity-based digital economy, where every transaction between humans, machines and infrastructure is grounded in trust.
