SEALSQ and Lattice Deliver Unified TPM-FPGA Architecture for Post-Quantum Security

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) and Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) have announced a collaboration to integrate advanced post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into select Lattice FPGA solutions using a unified TPM-FPGA architecture. This collaboration addresses the urgent requirement for quantum-resistant security in mission-critical edge computing and industrial infrastructure. By combining SEALSQ’s specialized post-quantum hardware with Lattice’s low-power, secure FPGA platforms, the partnership provides a scalable reference design for organizations transitioning to CNSA 2.0 and NIST standards.

The joint solution features a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) that integrates a Lattice secure FPGA with SEALSQ’s QS7001 and QVault TPM secure Root-of-Trust (RoT). The QS7001 is a hardware-embedded PQC chip designed on a 32-bit secured RISC-V architecture. It provides hardware acceleration for NIST-selected algorithms, including ML-KEM (formerly Kyber) for key encapsulation and ML-DSA (formerly Dilithium) for digital signatures. This hardware-native approach offers significant performance gains and enhanced side-channel resistance compared to software-only PQC implementations.

Key Technical Features of the Unified Architecture

• Quantum-Resistant Root-of-Trust: The QVault TPM acts as an immutable starting point for system security, ensuring secure boot, attestation, and cryptographic key management that remains resilient against quantum attacks.

• Crypto-Agility at the Edge: The architecture supports in-field updates, allowing organizations to update cryptographic algorithms as standards evolve without replacing physical hardware.

• Hardware-Accelerated PQC: By embedding algorithms directly in silicon, the system achieves up to 10x performance gains for quantum-safe key exchanges and authentication.

• High-Assurance Certification: The underlying hardware is designed for Common Criteria EAL5+ and FIPS 140-3 readiness, meeting the stringent requirements of defense, medical, and energy infrastructure.

This initiative aligns with the launch of the Year of Quantum Security 2026 (YQS2026), a global movement emphasizing that quantum-safe migration is now a governance and infrastructure imperative. SEALSQ and Lattice will showcase a live demonstration of this unified FPGA-TPM architecture at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, from March 10-12. The exhibit will highlight the solution’s ability to deliver trusted resilience and crypto-updatability for edge devices in the quantum era.
