GENEVA – July 14, 2023: WISeKey International
Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leader in
cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions operating as a holding company, announced today that its
subsidiaries, SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a post-quantum computing
security company and WISeSat AG, a leading-edge satellite
technology business, joined forces to create an ultra-secure
picosatellite solution for Quantum-Ready Internet of Things (IoT)
communications.The initiative will leverage the integration of the
VaultIC408 secure element to secure each endpoint within the
network, ensuring top-tier security levels throughout. Leveraging
their advanced miniaturization techniques, the collaboration
between both companies aims to provide solutions able to reduce
costs and increase accessibility, so that businesses of all sizes
can afford dedicated satellites to provide connectivity to their
ecosystems.Seventeen WISeSat-ready satellites have already been
launched into orbit with SpaceX as part of an 80-satellite
constellation. These satellites are able to deliver global and
real-time IoT connectivity for industrial applications, featuring a
remarkable data latency of only 10 hours.Through the SEALSQ and
WISeSat collaboration, the new generation of WISeSat-ready
satellites will incorporate revolutionary post-quantum solutions,
with microchips and devices designed to withstand the evolution of
computational power. These post-quantum devices can be utilized in
a wide range of applications, such as multi-factor authentication
devices, to ensure uncompromising data security in the quantum
age.This collaboration underscores the commitment of both companies
to develop innovative, practical solutions in response to the
evolving challenges of the digital world. It marks a significant
step forward in the creation of quantum-ready IoT systems that
provide secure, reliable, and real-time connectivity across the
globe.Viewers can go to https://tinygs.com/satellite/FossaSat-2E1,
to track in real-time our WISeSats-ready Fossa Satellites circling
Earth. Global coverage is provided by a single satellite. The
revisit time of a single satellite is approximately 24 hours, so
depending on the latency of the information required, application
will need more or fewer satellites. A constellation of 60
satellites provides a revisit time of 5 minutes.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to
cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a
quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they
may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are
currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new
cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks. For
