SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) has launched SEALQUANTUM.com Lab, a research and innovation hub focused on quantum-safe encryption and post-quantum technology. The lab aims to help organizations transition to quantum-resistant security solutions as traditional encryption methods become vulnerable to quantum computing advances.

The initiative includes partnerships with academic institutions, including École de Mines in France, to develop quantum-safe cryptography solutions. The lab will provide businesses with expertise, real-time insights, and technical resources for implementing quantum-resistant encryption. This development complements SEALSQ's existing R&D portfolio in quantum-safe technologies, including Post-Quantum Cryptographic algorithms and Post Quantum Chips, designed for IoT, healthcare, logistics, and government sectors.

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) announced its development of solutions to address quantum computing challenges through its QUASARS project, focusing on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and quantum-resistant hardware for IoT and blockchain networks. The company highlighted Bitcoin's vulnerabilities to quantum computing, particularly in p2pk and reused p2pkh addresses. Current scientific estimates indicate it takes approximately 30 minutes for a quantum computer to hack a Bitcoin signature, compared to Bitcoin's 10-minute block mining time.

The company outlined potential mitigation strategies, including transferring funds to new p2pkh addresses and implementing consensus-driven ultimatums for moving funds to safe addresses. SEALSQ is developing quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions to ensure blockchain and IoT networks remain secure in the quantum computing era.

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) announced the integration of its post-quantum cryptographic chips on WISeSat satellites, marking a significant advancement in securing satellite communications against quantum computing threats. The partnership combines SEALSQ's semiconductor expertise with WISeSat's satellite IoT connectivity solutions.

Currently, 17 WISeSat satellites equipped with SEALSQ's chips have been launched via SpaceX, with plans for hundreds more to create a quantum-secure communications network. The next launch is scheduled for January 14, 2025, from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The technology converts data into light particles for transmission through satellite constellations, offering protection against interception and ensuring secure communications between satellites and ground stations.

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) has completed a registered direct offering of 13,157,896 ordinary shares at $1.90 per share, raising $25.0 million in gross proceeds. This brings the total gross proceeds from financings this week to $60.0 million, before deducting commissions and expenses. The company commits to not entering any further registered direct offering for at least 60 days.
