The SEALSQ OSAT initiative encompasses the development of Semiconductor Personalization Centers through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). SEALSQ is currently in negotiation for three major projects in
The US-based OSAT would focus on the SEALSQ (Semiconductor, Efficient Architecture for Long-term Security Quantum) semiconductors and post-quantum cryptography having the potential to herald a transformative era for semiconductor technology, whilst researching opportunities to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the technology,. This delves into the technical underpinnings and potential impacts of this integration, exploring how it paves the way for a new generation of semiconductors that are poised to redefine security, efficiency, and intelligence in digital systems.
Governments, including the
The EU Chips Act likewise aims to increase supply chain resilience, though is also meant to safeguard European sovereignty and strategic autonomy with a
The US-based OSAT would represent a pioneering approach to integrating quantum-resistant cryptographic capabilities directly into semiconductor architectures. This innovation is critical in the face of emerging quantum computing threats, which render traditional encryption methods vulnerable. By embedding post-quantum cryptographic algorithms at the hardware level, SEALSQ semiconductors offer robust protection against both current and future cryptographic challenges.
Post-quantum cryptography (“PQC”) is designed to secure communications against the computational power of quantum computers, which can easily break many of the cryptographic systems currently in use. Integrating PQC into semiconductor architectures involves leveraging lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial equations that are believed to be resistant to quantum computing attacks. This integration ensures that data encrypted by these semiconductors remains secure against adversaries wielding quantum computing capabilities.
AI's Role in the New Generation of Semiconductors
Once the OSAT Arizona Center achieves its intended goal of operational status by the end of 2025, in addition to the traditional semiconductor activities outlined above, it is intended specialize in researching the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the semiconductor manufacturing process. This integration would transcend mere performance enhancements or smarter device production. It is expected that it will involve the incorporation of adaptive, intelligent protocols directly into the hardware for unmatched security and efficiency. AI's role is anticipated to enable the monitoring and real-time adaptation to new threats, along with the predictive management of power consumption and the optimization of processing speeds and energy efficiency tailored to specific workloads. Consequently, SEALSQ semiconductors are expected to emerge as both quantum-resistant and self-optimizing, capable of evolving to meet both new security challenges and operational demands. This strategic focus would not only mark a significant leap in semiconductor technology but also would position the OSAT Arizona Center at the forefront of developing semiconductors that are exceptionally secure and incredibly efficient, addressing the pivotal needs of an era poised on the brink of quantum computing breakthroughs.
About SEALSQ
SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks.
