SEALSQ Corp, a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software product, and Airmod, a renowned French-based embedded software design house specialising in secure electronic systems for aerospace, drones, consumer electronics and IoT applications, has unveiled a game-changing partnership: a production-ready, open-source-enabled middleware stack built directly on SEALSQ Secure DevKits, designed to fast-track the deployment of quantum-resistant devices. This collaboration aims to accelerate the creation of secure IoT applications, thus has the potential to reduce development time by up to 50%.
The partnership uses SEALSQ’s expertise in certified secure hardware, pioneering over 130 patents in post-quantum cryptography, with Airmod’s 25+ years of software development experience in video processing, embedded cybersecurity, and high-speed communications. Together, the companies aim to deliver end-to-end solutions for industries that require unbreakable security, including aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and IoT applications where data integrity and low-latency transmission are critical.
The new Airmod Middleware for SEALSQ Secure Hardware turns months of complex cryptographic integration into days. OEMs, drone manufacturers, satellite operators and industrial IoT innovators can now plug quantum-proof security into their products virtually out-of-the-box, with full secure boot, hardware-rooted trust, and post-quantum cryptography already pre-integrated and validated.
Accelerated integration for secure device deployment:
The developed middleware delivers a unified abstraction layer enabling seamless use of SEALSQ’s secure hardware platforms within AIRMOD’s middleware expertise.
Key features include:
- Optimised support for “Quantum Shield” QS7001 secure hardware platform, including secure boot, key storage and hardware-rooted trust services.
- Pre-validated APIs for rapid application development.
- Streamlined onboarding workflows compatible with large-scale IoT deployments.
- Native support for post-quantum-ready architectures, aligning with emerging regulatory and industry requirements.
Expanded partner support driven by AIRMOD expertise
Through this collaboration, AIRMOD will provide comprehensive support to partners integrating SEALSQ chipsets, including:
- Developer Kits: Ready-to-use kits that accelerate prototyping and integration, enabling a faster time-to-market.
- Full Development Services: End-to-end software development for secure applications, from design to large-scale deployment.
- Global Reach: Worldwide service availability, ensuring consistent quality and compliance across regions.
AIRMOD brings extended security expertise in embedded electronics, making it uniquely qualified to deliver secure, reliable and high-performance software for SEALSQ chipsets.
Empowering scalable, secure quantum resistant IoT ecosystems
“Partnering with AIRMOD allows us to broaden our ecosystem and offers our customers an accelerated path to deploy secure, scalable IoT solutions,” said Gweltas Radenac, SEALSQ’s IoT security business line director. “By combining SEALSQ’s certified security hardware with AIRMOD’s expertise in embedded security, device manufacturers can significantly reduce time-to-market while meeting the highest standards of trust. This partnership marks a pivotal step in fortifying the aerospace and IoT ecosystems against the quantum revolution”
“Our collaboration with SEALSQ represents a key milestone in supporting secure and scalable device infrastructures,” added Guillaume Reillon, the CEO of Airmod. “This integrated approach ensures that connectivity, security and device management are natively aligned from the very beginning of product development. We’ve spent 25 years hardening electronics that fly, float and connect the planet. By fusing our real-time, low-latency software expertise with SEALSQ’s unbreakable silicon, we’re giving engineering teams superpowers: quantum-grade security that deploys as easily as any other drive”
