SEALSQ Leverages NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validation to Accelerate Government, Critical-Infrastructure and Post-Quantum Hardware-Security Programs; Provides Updated Certification and Commercialization Timetable
SEALSQ announced the commercial expansion of its VaultIC408 secure element following FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation under the NIST CMVP, published as NIST Certificate No. 5463 and active through August 4, 2031. The Level 3 validation is a procurement prerequisite for government, defense and critical-infrastructure customers, and SEALSQ expects it to support commercial expansion in the US and internationally. The company also updated its post-quantum roadmap: QS7001 completed fault-injection testing in March 2026 and NIST SP 800-90B entropy validation in May 2026, with Common Criteria test reports targeted for October 2026 and January 2027 and EAL5+ certification targeted for 2027.
