SEALSQ's Root Certificate Authority Accredited by GSMA Participates in the Worldwide Roll-out of the Latest eUICC Consumer Specifications, Facilitating Security and InteroperabilityGeneva, Switzerland , Feb. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For more information visit: https://www.sealsq.com/managed-pki-for-iot/root-of-trust SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company") (NASDAQ: LAES), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, is set to present at the Mobile World Congress its notable Root Certificate Authority, which has attained GSMA Root CI accreditation. SEALSQ PKI enables eUICC and Subscription Management entities to identify and authenticate within the GSMA remote provisioning Consumer ecosystem, facilitating security and interoperability. As deployments accelerate, demand for eSIM technology is growing to cut through complexity and promote simplified global connectivity and advanced security. The publication of a dedicated specification for remotely provisioning and managing IoT devices promises to accelerate the adoption of eSIM technology. eUICCs (aka eSIM) present a significant step forward in cellular connectivity for M2M, Consumer and IoT devices. eUICC eliminates complexity by converting a physical SIM into a digital profile that can be downloaded on-demand onto an eUICC. SEALSQ's comprehensive offering aims to streamline the process for eUICC manufacturers and SM-DP+/SM-DS Service Providers, aiding them in achieving a faster time to market. This approach is achieved through cost-effective and simplified design processes for obtaining GSMA PKI Certificates. SEALSQ further enhances the proposition by enabling companies to swiftly access certificates compliant with the new version 3 in line with SGP.22 v3.0 and SGP.14 v2.1 standards. This service is facilitated through INeS, a managed "PKI as a Service" platform, which eliminates the need for hardware infrastructure investments. The adoption of eSIM specifications and remote SIM provisioning is poised to significantly enhance interoperability and security-by-design within the cellular industry. This aligns with SEALSQ's mission to foster a safer connected world. By partnering with SEALSQ, GSMA participants can expect to:
“The unique combination of SEALSQ’s provisioning services with the GSMA Root-of-Trust CI will help our customers save time by issuing GSMA PKI Certificates to GSMA eSIM compliant version 3 consumer,” said Bernard Vian, General Manager of WISeKey Semiconductors SAS business for SEALSQ. The growing adoption of eSIM specifications and the remote SIM provisioning will greatly improve interoperability between devices and security-by-design in the cellular industry, creating a more efficient and safer experience for consumers. This is in full alignment with SEALSQ’s mission to contribute into building a safer connected world.
