SEALSQ Corp News
SEALSQ Corp has massively expanded its Japan operations, solidifying its position as a global leader in digital defense. This strategic push comes as the Japanese government accelerates its transition to quantum-resistant infrastructure and sets an ambitious timeframe for digital security adoption.
Traditional cryptographic frameworks like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are becoming more vulnerable to decryption as quantum computing technology improves rapidly. By 2035, Japan’s National Cyber Command Office (NCO) will require all government systems to use Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). This directive follows NIST guidelines and emphasizes a “hybrid” cryptographic approach to mitigate the immediate “harvest now, decrypt later” threat, where malicious actors collect encrypted data today to decrypt it when quantum computers are powerful enough.
Leading Through Strategic Participation
At two prominent industry events in Japan in March 2026, SEALSQ will exhibit its production-ready solutions and show off its leadership. The company will meet with other members of the industry at the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Member Meeting in Yokohama from March 16–19. On March 27, it will attend the Wi-SUN Open House in Tokyo.
The VaultIC secure elements for IoT compliance and PQC-integrated solutions for smart utility networks are just two examples of the hardware-anchored security breakthroughs that SEALSQ is showcasing at these events. The need for strong security in IoT standards has been emphasized by the CSA and the Wi-SUN Alliance. The fact that Wi-SUN has already incorporated post-quantum-safe encryption, including 256-bit AES, into its protocols makes it a perfect setting for SEALSQ to talk about deep PQC integrations for increased resilience.

A “Quantum Made in USA” Strategy in Japan
Carlos Moreira, SEALSQ CEO, emphasized the alignment between global security developments and the organization’s overall goal. ‘Quantum Made in USA’ is a great fit with Japan’s proactive approach to quantum security,” Moreira said. He underlined that the company’s involvement in these forthcoming conferences will demonstrate how SEALSQ technologies facilitate “cryptographic agility,” enabling Japanese firms to meet the FY26 target for system improvements set forth by the NCO while guaranteeing smooth interoperability with international security standards.
The QVault TPM and the QS7001 secure System-on-Chip (SoC) are two of SEALSQ’s technology offerings that are intended to enable seamless migrations for supply chains, critical infrastructure, and the private sector. These devices provide hardware acceleration for NIST-approved algorithms, such as ML-KEM and ML-DSA, and, when utilized in hybrid setups, offer robust defense against quantum threats.
Building Local Momentum through Partnerships
A robust network of local relationships and successful deployments further support the company’s growth. A distribution deal with Okaya Electronics Corp., a seasoned Japanese semiconductor distributor with offices in Yokohama, Osaka, and Tokyo, has proven crucial in obtaining major project wins and speeding up development.
Japan is already dotted with success stories. Recently, SEALSQ and MIWA Lock Co., Ltd. secured the PiACK HOME PG, Japan’s first smart lock that is compatible with Matter. Furthermore, the business showcased how its VaultIC292 was successfully included into Hosiden’s own Matter-compatible smart lock systems. In addition to consumer IoT, SEALSQ’s Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services have gained popularity with a collaboration with Landis+Gyr. Through this partnership, smart meter integrations are made more secure and adhere to strict regional regulations by utilizing SEALSQ’s cutting-edge INeS PKI solution. Additional PKI agreements have also been signed by SEALSQ with other significant Japanese producers who wish to export Matter-compliant goods to the US market.

From the Grid to the Grand Prix
SEALSQ will hold a private event for a small group of customers and partners at the Suzuka Japanese Grand Prix from March 27-29, 2026, in a unique fusion of high-tech security and high-performance sport. The company’s partnership with BWT Alpine Formula One Racing Team in quantum technology is celebrated at this event. The relationship began during the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix and investigates using quantum-secure technology in demanding, high-performance areas to improve operational resilience and data protection.
Moreira believes Alpine F1’s partnership underlines the company’s creativity across all sectors. “The Suzuka gathering celebrates our Japanese achievements while illustrating how quantum-resistant technologies could safeguard connected ecosystems, from racing environments to essential national infrastructure,” he stated.
Protecting Diverse Industries for the Future
SEALSQ’s purpose goes well beyond specialized applications. In a wide range of industries, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) tokens, Smart Energy, Medical and Healthcare systems, Defense, IT Network Infrastructure, and the automotive industry, the firm is leading the way in Post-Quantum Semiconductors, which protect critical data in the future. The vital systems that control contemporary life are protected against the impending quantum threat by SEALSQ, which integrates PQC directly into semiconductor hardware.
NIST and the Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite (CNSA) 2.0 are two of the most recent international standards that the company’s products are meticulously designed to meet. Without sacrificing security, SEALSQ provides hardware-level acceleration for intricate algorithms, enabling the high-speed processing needed in contemporary industrial automation and control systems. SEALSQ is still inviting interested parties to view their digital resources or get in touch with their sales teams to discuss how these technologies might be incorporated into current and future infrastructure as the March events in Yokohama and Tokyo get near. With its production-ready solutions and local collaborations, SEALSQ is at the vanguard of Japan’s cybersecurity growth as the country works toward its 2035 goal.
