Insights
WISeKey's subsidiaries collaborate on quantum-resistant security for AI, positioning strategically in an emerging but unproven market.
WISeKey's announcement represents a strategic positioning in the emerging intersection of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and artificial intelligence security. The collaboration between subsidiaries SEALSQ and SEALCOIN AG aims to address a legitimate future threat: quantum computers will eventually break current encryption standards that protect AI systems and data.
The technical approach described in the release is sound - embedding quantum-resistant cryptography at multiple levels (identity certificates, wallet authorizations, smart contracts) and implementing NIST-recommended PQC algorithms with secure element hardware. These are recognized best practices for quantum-resistant architectures. The QS7001 secure element mentioned likely provides the hardware root of trust necessary for secure key storage.
However, this announcement should be viewed primarily as market positioning rather than an immediate revenue driver. The commercial quantum computing threat remains years away from practical reality, and the market for quantum-resistant AI security solutions is still nascent. Most enterprises haven't yet prioritized quantum resistance in their security roadmaps.
The educational video series suggests WISeKey is pursuing a thought leadership strategy to establish credibility in this space. The careful distinction that SEALCOIN is providing infrastructure rather than AI solutions also indicates the company is being cautious not to overstate its AI capabilities while still capitalizing on AI market interest.
From a competitive standpoint, this positions WISeKey among early movers in quantum-resistant AI security, but in a space where tangible customer demand remains speculative and ROI timelines uncertain. The innovation is technically credible but represents an early-stage strategic bet rather than an immediate market catalyst.
WISeKey’s Subsidiaries, SEALSQ and SEALCOIN AG, Unite to Future-Proof AI Agents with Post-Quantum Security
Geneva, Switzerland, October 1, 2025 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, today announces that its subsidiaries, SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, and SEALCOIN AG (SEALCOIN), which focuses on decentralized physical internet with DePIN technology and house the development of the SEALCOIN platform, today announced a breakthrough initiative to protect Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents from the looming threats posed by quantum computing. Building on its pioneering expertise in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and trusted semiconductor technologies, SEALSQ is introducing a new suite of solutions designed to safeguard AI operations and decision-making processes against adversarial quantum attacks.
Today’s cryptographic systems are under threat from the rise of quantum computing. Even the most secure digital identities and transactions risk becoming vulnerable. To address this, SEALCOIN AG is embedding quantum-resistant cryptography into every layer of its agent infrastructure, from identity certificates and wallet authorizations to smart contract execution. In partnership with SEALSQ, and leveraging the upcoming QS7001 secure element, this collaboration future-proofs AI Agents from the ground up. SEALSQ’s post-quantum secure AI framework integrates NIST-recommended PQC algorithms with its secure element chips and embedded cryptographic modules, ensuring confidential inference through homomorphic encryption optimized for SEALSQ hardware, robust identity and authentication with post-quantum digital identities, trusted execution environments that defend against both classical and quantum-level attacks, and scalable deployment across IoT, autonomous vehicles, smart infrastructure, defense, and healthcare.
“AI is only as trustworthy as the systems that protect it,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of WISeKey. “With this launch, SEALSQ provides the missing link between artificial intelligence and post-quantum cybersecurity, ensuring that AI agents remain reliable partners for humanity, even in the quantum era.”
This announcement coincides with the release of Episode 6 in SEALCOIN AG’s educational video series on Secure AI Agents, titled “Future-Proofing with Post-Quantum Security.” The series explores foundational principles of secure agent autonomy, including cryptographic identity, trusted transactions, decentralized execution, and now, quantum-resilient infrastructure (Link to the episode).
Over the past six episodes, SEALCOIN AG’s Secure AI Agent series has charted the journey from principle to practice for truly autonomous and trustworthy AI Agents. Starting with the foundation that autonomy without security is an illusion, the series explored why AI Agents need cryptographic identity and verifiable transactions to prevent spoofing and manipulation. It then showcased the core infrastructure SEALCOIN provides, verifiable certificates, controlled wallets, smart contracts, and immutable records, and illustrated how these elements come together in real-world agent-to-API interactions to enable secure, end-to-end autonomy. The series highlighted the transformative impact of this architecture, opening the door to new business models like autonomous procurement, AI-driven commerce, and machine-to-machine markets, before concluding with how SEALCOIN AG and SEALSQ are future-proofing agents with post-quantum security to ensure their trust and autonomy endure well into the quantum era.
