SEALSQ and IC'Alps Advance Chip-Level Post-Quantum Security for Connected Medical Devices

LAES
  • SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) and its subsidiary IC'Alps are presenting post-quantum security solutions for Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices at Electronica 2026 in Munich.
  • Forescout Research reports a significant readiness gap where only 6% of IoMT devices use SSH implementations supporting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) compared to 50% of IT devices.
  • The analysis identified over 5,500 internet-exposed medical information systems, with only 31% utilizing TLS 1.3, the version supporting standardized PQC.
  • Patient data remains valuable for a lifetime, creating an immediate risk as attackers can harvest encrypted data now to decrypt it once quantum computers become powerful enough.
  • Medical devices often have long operating lifecycles of 10 to 20 years with limited upgrade options, necessitating that PQC security be designed into the chip level during initial manufacturing.
  • SEALSQ offers two integration routes: standard post-quantum secure elements & custom ASICs, both implementing NIST-standardized ML-KEM (FIPS 203) & ML-DSA (FIPS 204) algorithms.
  • Key product offerings include QASIC for implantable devices, QS7001 & VaultIC409 secure elements, QVault TPMs, & INeS PKI for digital certificate management.
  • IC'Alps provides ISO 13485-certified custom circuit design for medical applications, addressing strict power & size constraints while integrating post-quantum security with sensing & processing.
  • iMTC Technology selected the QVault TPM183 in September 2026 for its Fingerprint Recognition Medical Mouse to establish a hardware root of trust with a migration path to PQC.
  • SEALSQ & IC'Alps will exhibit at Electronica 2026 from November 10-13, 2026, in Hall C6, Booth 670, featuring live demonstrations & a keynote on November 13.
  • Existing devices in service require network segmentation, TLS 1.3 enforcement, & PQC gateways, while new designs must incorporate these technologies for future protection.
