September 25, 2025 09:40 ET  | Source: SEALSQ Geneva, Switzerland and Taipei, Taiwan, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that AuthenTrend Technology, Inc., a Taiwan-based global leader in FIDO passwordless authentication solutions, started working on a proof-of-concept (PoC) integrating SEALSQ’s Quantum Shield “QS7001” chip into a fingerprint-enabled security key: “ATKey PQC edition”. This milestone aims to create the world’s first1 quantum-proof biometric authentication device, advancing FIDO2 and PKI-compliance with post-quantum ready security. This collaboration highlights SEALSQ’s leadership in cutting-edge post-quantum technology products to strengthen digital trust as quantum computing threats emerge: The PoC will integrate match-on-device fingerprint biometrics with SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptography, creating a phishing-resistant, user-friendly solution that aligns with zero-trust security models and anticipates regulatory mandates like CNSA 2.0 and EO 14144. It aims to protect identities and access credentials against vulnerabilities in traditional algorithms like ECDSA, RSA and ECC, which could be compromised by quantum computers within the next years, while still being resistant to traditional attacks. The Quantum Shield QS7001, set for commercial launch in mid-November 2025, is a RISC-V-based secure hardware platform featuring NIST-standardized ML-KEM (Kyber) and ML-DSA (Dilithium) quantum resistant algorithms embedded at the hardware level. Offering superior efficiency over software layer implementations, enhanced side-channel protection, and tamper resistance, the QS7001 is designed to secure high-stakes applications, including enterprise access, financial services, and IoT ecosystems. AuthenTrend’s fingerprint technology available on the ATKey PQC edition will enhance the key’s adoption across markets in APAC, EU & US. “The Quantum Shield QS7001 is a game-changer for secure authentication, and AuthenTrend’s PoC marks a critical first adoption of this technology,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. “As an early adopter, AuthenTrend is setting a new standard for quantum-proof biometric security keys, combining seamless usability with future-proof protection.” “AuthenTrend is proud to lead the charge in integrating SEALSQ’s Quantum Shield QS7001 into our security key solution,” said Zake Huang, CEO of AuthenTrend. “This PoC aims at delivering quantum-ready authentication that protects our customers against emerging threats while maintaining the convenience they value.” SEALSQ continues to expand its post-quantum portfolio, having secured over 1.75 billion devices worldwide. With initiatives like the QVault TPM (planned for H1 2026) and the SEALQUANTUM.com Lab, the Company supports industry transitions to quantum-safe encryption through dedicated research and development.
