SEALSQ Corp has announced a strategic roadmap focused on embedded security and post-quantum cryptography as core building blocks for the emerging era of Physical Artificial Intelligence (Physical AI). As organizations increasingly deploy autonomous machines in real-world environments, SEALSQ aims to position its semiconductor and cryptographic technologies as a trusted infrastructure layer supporting long-term secure machine operations. Currently listed on NASDAQ, the company is leveraging its global footprint of more than 1.75 billion deployed secure semiconductor devices to drive this next phase of trusted AI evolution.
Traditionally, connected devices relied on fixed automation models and often processed unverified data inputs. However, Physical AI introduces a major shift. Machines can now interpret spatial environments, physical behaviors, and environmental signals through multimodal sensing technologies such as vision, motion tracking, audio analysis, and environmental data monitoring. Therefore, organizations must embed identity verification, trust validation, and data integrity directly into hardware layers. More importantly, these security foundations must remain resilient against future quantum computing threats.

SEALSQ’s competitive advantage stems from its extensive deployment of hardware-based cryptographic authentication and secure Root of Trust architectures. As cyber threats evolve toward quantum-enabled attack models, the company is transitioning its hardware ecosystem toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness. Consequently, this approach creates a long-term security foundation for autonomous systems operating at the edge.
To support this strategy, SEALSQ plans to expand its secure microcontroller portfolio, Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), PQC-enabled TPMs, and hardware security modules into trusted sensing and decision-making nodes. Additionally, the company envisions next-generation architectures built around embedded secure chips and chiplet-based Hardware Security Modules. These technologies will enable systems to cryptographically validate real-world data at the source using both classical encryption and post-quantum algorithms. As a result, organizations can maintain data authenticity and integrity throughout the entire AI system lifecycle.
Furthermore, SEALSQ is introducing SEALCOIN.AI as a transactional and orchestration layer designed for autonomous machine collaboration. The platform will enable secure machine-to-machine transactions, automated service execution, and decentralized decision-making without centralized intermediaries. This initiative is supported by SEALSQ’s parent organization, WISeKey International Holding Ltd, which specializes in cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT technologies. Together, the companies aim to build decentralized physical internet infrastructure secured by hardware Root of Trust and post-quantum cryptography.

From a long-term security perspective, SEALSQ is embedding PQC directly into silicon. This approach helps protect identities, transactions, and data from future quantum computing attacks. In addition, hardware-anchored identity ensures that every device interaction remains verifiable and resistant to spoofing, hijacking, or malicious manipulation. These capabilities are particularly critical for high-risk environments such as autonomous mobility, defense systems, smart manufacturing, healthcare robotics, and sovereign AI deployments.
Unlike software-only security models, SEALSQ is designing silicon-level protection using classical and standards-aligned post-quantum cryptography, including frameworks aligned with NIST post-quantum cryptography recommendations. This strategy ensures long-term cryptographic resilience as quantum computing technology matures.
At the center of this vision is the WISeKey Root of Trust infrastructure, already deployed across more than six billion devices globally. This ecosystem enables secure identity verification, zero-trust authentication, and encrypted communications across diverse digital and physical environments.
Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, said: “Combined with SEALSQ’s expanding portfolio of PQC-enabled semiconductors, including secure elements, TPMs, and next-generation secure ASICs and QASIC, and the SEALCOIN.AI transactional layer, this infrastructure forms what we describe as a ‘quantum-resilient cryptographic nervous system for Physical AI’ connecting machines, environments, and humans through secure intelligence, trusted autonomy, and programmable digital trust.”
Looking ahead, as Physical AI continues transforming industries including robotics, industrial automation, smart infrastructure, and healthcare, SEALSQ is positioning itself as a foundational enabler of secure autonomous ecosystems. By extending digital trust into physical and economic systems while preparing for quantum-era threats, the company aims to ensure that next-generation AI systems remain secure, accountable, and aligned with long-term societal and safety requirements.
