  • •SEALSQ's VaultIC408 received FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation from NIST.
  • •The certification is valid until August 4, 2031, ensuring robust cryptographic protection.
  • •VaultIC408 is targeted for use in government, defense, and critical infrastructure applications.

SEALSQ Corp announced the commercial expansion of its VaultIC408 secure element platform after receiving FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation from NIST. This certification, published as NIST Certificate No. 5463, confirms that VaultIC408 version 1.2.4 is a validated single-chip hardware cryptographic module. The validation was officially issued on August 5, 2026, and is valid until August 4, 2031. The Level 3 validation ensures that the VaultIC408 meets stringent requirements for protecting cryptographic keys and sensitive security parameters. SEALSQ aims to support applications in government, defense, critical infrastructure, and industrial IoT with this validated hardware. The VaultIC408 is designed to prevent unauthorized access and credential theft by securely generating, storing, and processing cryptographic keys. This milestone enhances SEALSQ's position in highly regulated markets requiring independently validated hardware security.
