SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: 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 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 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.
