SEALSQ Corp Redefines Vertical Integration in Quantum Era

The company said, "SEALSQ Corp announced that it is redefining vertical integration in the quantum era by building a platform where trust begins, in silicon. Rather than developing quantum solutions in isolated layers of hardware, software, or connectivity, SEALSQ has designed a fully integrated architecture in which cryptographic identity, post-quantum security, and sovereignty are embedded at the hardware level from the outset. This ensures that security and trust are intrinsic properties of the system, not external add-ons. The initiative began with a pilot Quantum Corridor linking three strategic European sites in Spain, France, and Switzerland. This proof-of-concept demonstrated that secure, cross-border collaboration in quantum and post-quantum technologies could operate under a unified, hardware-rooted trust framework. As the ecosystem expanded to include active developments and partnerships in India, the United States, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates, the corridor evolved into the Quantum Highway, a globally scalable, sovereign-by-design interconnection architecture. The Quantum Highway interconnects secure semiconductors, ASICs, post-quantum cryptography, and quantum computing systems within a single vertical platform. At its foundation is a hardware root key, physically anchored in secure silicon, which establishes immutable device identity and governs each component's lifecycle, from manufacturing and personalization to authentication, operation, updates, and decommissioning. This enables end-to-end trust continuity across classical, post-quantum, and quantum environments."
