SEALSQ’s Post-Quantum Tech Boosts Security for Internet of Medical Things

As the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) continues to revolutionize healthcare, securing sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of medical systems has become paramount. SEALSQ Corp, a company focused on developing and selling semiconductors, public key infrastructure, and post-quantum technology hardware and software products, is enhancing security for IoMT with its cutting-edge solutions. By providing key security components, SEALSQ’s technology supports applications that secure communications and authenticate devices, addressing significant security concerns in the IoMT segment. Bernard Vian, SEALSQ’s Managing Director, emphasized the critical importance of security in IoMT, given the sensitive nature of healthcare data and potential risks associated with breaches. SEALSQ’s post-quantum technology offers a robust solution to safeguard IoMT networks from emerging cyber threats, ensuring the secure exchange of data between medical devices and cloud servers.

Enhancing Security for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized healthcare by integrating advanced technologies such as wireless communication and cloud computing to enhance device functionality, storage capacity, and computational power. However, this integration also raises significant security concerns, including unauthorized access to sensitive information and impersonation of legitimate devices. To address these concerns, SEALSQ Corp, a company specializing in developing and selling semiconductors, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and post-quantum technology hardware and software products, has announced that its technology and solutions support the IoMT segment by providing key security components for applications.

SEALSQ’s solutions are already being used in medical industry applications, including controlling physical access to facilities, securing communications, and authenticating devices. For instance, its Smart Card reader chips are used to read patient cards in HID IDENTIV reader terminals procured by some of the largest national healthcare systems in Europe. Additionally, its PKI solutions and Secure Elements are employed to authenticate and protect information shared between remote patients and hospital systems.

The Need for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in IoMT

The increasing power of quantum computers poses a significant threat to traditional cryptographic methods, including RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). As quantum computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods currently used to protect sensitive information. To address this concern, SEALSQ offers a unique value proposition by integrating PKI using Quantum Resistant Cryptography and Post-Quantum Secure Hardware to protect keys and certificates from powerful quantum computer attacks.

Unlike traditional cryptographic methods, SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptography is resistant to attacks from both classical and quantum computers, making it an essential component of future-proofing IoMT infrastructure. This technology ensures the secure exchange of data between medical devices and cloud servers, safeguarding IoMT networks from emerging cyber threats.

Security is a critical component of IoMT, given the sensitive nature of healthcare data and the potential risks associated with breaches. SEALSQ’s post-quantum technology offers a robust solution to safeguard IoMT networks from emerging cyber threats. As Bernard Vian, SEALSQ’s Managing Director, stated, “SEALSQ’s post-quantum technology offers a robust solution to safeguard IoMT networks from emerging cyber threats, ensuring the secure exchange of data between medical devices and cloud servers.”

SEALSQ Corp focuses on selling integrated solutions based on semiconductors, PKI, and provisioning services, while developing post-quantum technology hardware and software products. Its solutions can be used in a variety of applications, including multi-factor authentication tokens, smart energy, smart home appliances, medical and healthcare, IT network infrastructure, automotive, industrial automation, and control systems.
