WISeKey International Holding Ltd announced that its semiconductors post quantum subsidiary, SEALSQ Corp. is introducing a new generation of semiconductors designed to enhance the IoT (internet of things) security for medical devices with clients, including a US based healthcare equipment manufacturer currently using these microchips.
SEALSQ’s advanced security solution addresses the needs of the IoMT (internet of medical things) sector. By emphasizing adaptability, their secure element can be tailored to fulfil diverse requirements including factory-set, over-the-air, at the wafer level, or on-package. Integral to this solution are private keys and X509 certificates, ensuring compatibility with established protocols such as MATTER, Wi-SUN (wireless smart utility network), and OPC (open olatform communications). This advanced technology simplifies and streamlines authentication and commissioning, particularly with renowned platforms like Microsoft AZURE and AWS Clouds.
Beyond mere device inception, SEALSQ’s dedicated PKI (public key infrastructure) platform, INeS, offers an approach. Providing manufacturers with an interface, INeS allows generation and management of compliant certificates throughout the device’s lifecycle.
The foundation of this solution is SEALSQ’s VaultIC292, a testament to unparalleled security. Rooted in CCEAL4+ level tamper resistant hardware platform, it has been a cornerstone for safeguarding critical applications ranging from National IDs and e-Passports to banking. The design of VaultIC292 prioritises efficient operations with a minimalistic external component structure.
IoMT’s rise is synonymous with the evolution of healthcare. While remote patient monitoring stands out, the landscape is abundant with devices patient care. Semiconductors have played a pivotal role, modernising medical technology and allowing precise electrical current control. This precision has paved the way for breakthrough devices that are reshaping detection, diagnosis, and treatment methodologies across ailments.
With smart devices like wearables transforming healthcare, SEALSQ Semiconductors is proud to be at the helm of this revolution. Their emphasis on integrating semiconductor technology has unlocked limitless possibilities, cementing a future where medical science meets unmatched security.
