The Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification, one of the highest globally recognized security certification levels for hardware devices, has been granted to SEALSQ’s MS600X Secure Hardware Platform. This accomplishment demonstrates SEALSQ’s dedication to provide reliable, and secure solutions for important Internet of Things (IoT), smart metering, and other applications.
An internationally recognized benchmark for assessing the security of IT products is the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL). Products made especially to defend valuable assets from complex threats are eligible for the EAL5+ Certification.
This degree of certification attests to a comprehensive and exacting assessment procedure, highlighting SEALSQ’s commitment to providing unmatched security in its hardware platforms.
VaultIC 408 Achieves Key FIPS 140-3 Milestone
Furthermore, the VaultIC 408 secure microcontroller from SEALSQ has passed the demanding FIPS 140-3 testing that was carried out by UL Labs. T
he National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3, which establishes the standard for cryptographic module security and conformance in the US.
Final certification is anticipated in a few months once testing is finished and the results are being reviewed by the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).
Significant market traction has already been achieved by SEALSQ’s VaultIC 408, which was chosen to outfit millions of smart hubs as part of the UK’s Smart Metering Program.
The goal of this program is to improve energy management and efficiency nationwide. The unmatched security characteristics of VaultIC 408 were crucial in fulfilling the demanding specifications of this extensive project, affirmed its official release.
What This Means for the Industry
With the MS600X receiving Common Criteria EAL5+ and the VaultIC 408 moving closer to FIPS 140-3 Certification, SEALSQ is positioned as a reliable supplier of secure hardware solutions for critical infrastructures across the globe.
Post-Quantum Hardware Platform Launching in 2025
With the release of its Post-Quantum Hardware Platform scheduled for 2025, SEALSQ is getting ready for the big event. With the coveted Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification, this state-of-the-art platform will be offered as a trusted platform module (TPM) or as an open platform.
This further solidifies SEALSQ’s position at the forefront of hardware security innovation by guaranteeing that the platform satisfies the highest security criteria necessary to protect against dangers posed by quantum computing.
These accreditations strengthen SEALSQ’s capacity to handle the changing security requirements of government projects, critical infrastructure, and Internet of Things applications. SEALSQ continues to give its partners and clients unmatched confidence in its solutions by satisfying the strict requirements for international security standards.
Key Comments
“Achieving the Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification for our MS600X Secure Hardware Platform and advancing the FIPS 140-3 certification process for the VaultIC 408 is a testament to SEALSQ’s leadership in hardware security innovation,” said Bernard Vian, General Manager of SEALSQ. “Combined with our upcoming Post-Quantum Hardware Platform, we are setting a new benchmark for secure solutions across industries that demand the highest levels of protection.”
