SEALSQ Expands Japan Presence to Support 2035 Quantum Security Mandate

SEALSQ Corp is expanding its presence in Japan through strategic event participation and established partnerships, directly supporting the nation’s ambitious plan to adopt post-quantum cryptography by 2035. Driven by the Japanese National Cyber Command Office’s mandate—aligned with U.S. NIST guidelines—the semiconductor and cryptography firm will showcase production-ready solutions like the QS7001 secure SoC and QVault TPM to bolster critical infrastructure against evolving “harvest now, decrypt later” threats. “Japan’s proactive stance on quantum security aligns perfectly with our ‘Quantum Made in USA’ strategy,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, emphasizing the company’s commitment to cryptographic agility and interoperability. This expansion builds on successful deployments, including a collaboration with MIWA Lock Co., Ltd. to create Japan’s first Matter-compatible smart lock, and partnerships with Landis+Gyr for secure smart meter integrations. SEALSQ’s QS7001 & QVault TPM Support Japan’s 2035 PQC Transition Japan is actively preparing for a post-quantum world, targeting full adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) across its government systems by 2035, a timeline that SEALSQ Corp is supporting with its hardware and software solutions. Recognizing the threat of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, the Japanese National Cyber Command Office (NCO) is prioritizing hybrid cryptographic approaches, and SEALSQ is offering production-ready tools to facilitate this transition for vital sectors. The company’s QS7001 secure System on Chip (SoC) and QVault Trusted Platform Module (TPM) are central to these efforts, designed to enable seamless migrations for critical infrastructure, supply chains, and private industries. SEALSQ will demonstrate its capabilities at the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Member Meeting in Yokohama and the Wi-SUN Open House in Tokyo, both occurring in March 2026. These events will showcase VaultIC secure elements for IoT compliance and PQC-integrated solutions for smart utility networks, aligning with the CSA and Wi-SUN Alliance’s emphasis on robust security standards, including post-quantum-safe encryption like 256-bit AES. Strategic partnerships are accelerating SEALSQ’s progress in Japan, notably a distribution agreement with Okaya Electronics Corp., and collaborations with MIWA Lock Co., Ltd. to develop Japan’s first Matter-compatible smart lock, the PiACK HOME PG. Furthermore, SEALSQ’s PKI services are expanding through contracts with Landis+Gyr, a global energy management solutions provider, utilizing the INeS PKI tool for enhanced meter security.

Okaya Partnership Drives Smart Lock & Smart Meter Deployments A rapidly expanding ecosystem of connected devices is creating new vulnerabilities, prompting a surge in demand for robust security solutions, particularly within Japan’s critical infrastructure. SEALSQ Corp is actively addressing these concerns through strategic alliances designed to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technologies, notably a collaboration with Okaya Electronics Corp. This distribution partnership, leveraging Okaya’s established presence in Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama, has demonstrably contributed to project successes for SEALSQ within the Japanese market. Further demonstrating this momentum, SEALSQ’s VaultIC292 secure element has been successfully integrated into Hosiden’s Matter-compatible smart lock, showcasing the versatility of their hardware-anchored security innovations. This expansion is not limited to product integration; SEALSQ is also securing additional PKI agreements with Japanese manufacturers targeting the U.S. market, indicating a broader international strategy. The company’s commitment to these advancements will be further highlighted at the Suzuka Japanese Grand Prix, where they will host a gathering of customers and partners, coinciding with their role as the official quantum technology partner of the BWT Alpine Formula One Racing Team. Japan’s proactive stance on quantum security aligns perfectly with our ‘Quantum Made in USA’ strategy.Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ The team’s complex data streams and need for secure communications provide a unique environment to validate the effectiveness of SEALSQ’s hardware-anchored security innovations, such as VaultIC secure elements. This initiative occurs alongside SEALSQ’s broader efforts to support Japan’s national cybersecurity strategy, aiming for full PQC adoption across government systems by 2035, aligned with U.S. NIST guidelines. SEALSQ’s PQC solutions comply with both NIST and CNSA 2.0 standards, delivering hardware acceleration for algorithms like ML-KEM and ML-DSA. Our participation in these key forums will highlight how SEALSQ’s technologies enable cryptographic agility, ensuring Japanese organizations meet the NCO’s FY26 roadmap for system upgrades while maintaining interoperability with global standards.Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ INeS PKI & NIST Compliance Secure Matter-Enabled IoT Ecosystems The increasing interconnectedness of devices through the Internet of Things demands robust security frameworks, and SEALSQ Corp is actively addressing these needs with solutions aligned with both U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines and Japanese national cybersecurity objectives. These platforms allow the company to showcase hardware-anchored security innovations like VaultIC secure elements, crucial for IoT compliance and PQC integration within smart utility networks. The Wi-SUN Alliance’s emphasis on post-quantum-safe encryption, specifically 256-bit AES, creates a synergistic environment for SEALSQ’s technologies. market.
