SEALSQ and WISeSat Launch Quantum-Secure Satellites via SpaceX to Combat Emerging Threats
December 20, 2024SEALSQ Corp has integrated post-quantum cryptographic chips into WISeSat satellites to enhance security against emerging quantum computing threats.
This innovative technology ensures secure communications between satellites and ground stations, acting as a robust defense for satellite interactions.
The partnership between SEALSQ and WISeSat merges advanced semiconductor expertise with satellite IoT connectivity solutions, facilitating secure data transmission.
Currently, 17 WISeSat satellites equipped with SEALSQ's chips have been successfully launched through SpaceX, with plans to deploy hundreds more to establish a quantum-secure communication network.
This collaboration is pivotal for future-proofing satellite communications in the quantum age, addressing the vulnerabilities posed by quantum computing to traditional encryption methods.
The technology developed by SEALSQ converts data into light particles for transmission, significantly improving protection against interception and enhancing overall security.
Looking ahead, the next satellite launch is scheduled for January 14, 2025, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, further expanding this innovative network.
WISeSat's fleet of low-earth orbit nanosatellites enables global IoT connectivity, ensuring that even remote areas are connected.
