SEALSQ Corp, a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, in cooperation with its parent company, WISeKey International Holding Ltd today announced a breakthrough in securing and controlling the next generation of intelligent machines as billions of robots are poised to enter every aspect of society. By combining SEALSQ’s post-quantum semiconductor technology with WISeKey’s Root of Trust infrastructure, the companies are delivering a critical solution to one of the most pressing technological challenges of our time: ensuring that future autonomous robots remain under trusted human command.
SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips are engineered to resist the enormous processing power of future quantum computers, which will render today’s encryption obsolete. These chips embed advanced cryptographic protection directly into the silicon, making it possible to secure robot identities, encrypt communications, and guarantee software integrity, right from the point of manufacture. This protection is essential for a world in which machines will operate independently, often in sensitive environments or critical infrastructure.
Built on top of this secure hardware, WISeKey’s Root of Trust assigns every robot a unique cryptographic identity, stored securely and registered on a blockchain. This allows every machine to be authenticated, remotely managed, and securely updated throughout its lifecycle. With this architecture in place, organizations and governments can ensure that only trusted, verified devices are allowed to operate, and that they remain under control even in highly distributed, autonomous deployments.
This security infrastructure extends beyond the ground. Through the integration of Trusted IoT (TIoT), drones, and the WISeSat constellation of satellites, the combined SEALSQ-WISeKey platform forms a global trust grid capable of managing and securing robotic operations anywhere on Earth. This is made possible by the Oran G process, an advanced deployment methodology that fuses chip-level trust, secure communications, and real-time satellite oversight to provide a resilient, scalable framework for the robotic age.
Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey and SEALSQ, stated: “We are rapidly approaching a future where billions of autonomous machines will make decisions that impact our economies, our infrastructure, and our lives. These machines must be trustworthy, traceable, and controllable. By embedding post-quantum security and trusted identities into their core, we ensure they serve humanity, not the other way around.”
This initiative is already being applied in critical sectors, including defense, industrial automation, agriculture, and healthcare robotics. It marks a major step forward in aligning emerging robotic ecosystems with global cybersecurity and governance standards, ensuring that the digital transformation unfolds with resilience and ethical oversight.
