SEALSQ and Trusted Semiconductor Solutions Partner on U.S.-Made Post-Quantum Chips for Defense

The companies set a phased path to federal certifications, with formalization slated at the Quantum + AI Conference this month.

Overview

  • The collaboration focuses on PQC-enabled secure semiconductors for U.S. defense and government customers using SEALSQ technology with TSS platforms.
  • Near-term work integrates SEALSQ’s QS7001 secure element into TSS systems, progressing to co-developed ICs that will seek FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria and agency approvals.
  • Longer-term plans call for next-generation architectures, including chiplet-based hardware security modules coupled with embedded secure elements or secure enclaves.
  • TSS holds Category 1A Trusted accreditation, positioning it as the interface to U.S. agencies and expanding SEALSQ’s access to sovereign secure supply chains.
  • Following the announcement, Benzinga reported SEALSQ shares rose intraday about 21% to $5.28 on Thursday.
