SEALSQ Corp. and LEGIC Identsystems have announced the expansion of their existing partnership where SEALSQ provides key semiconductor components for the LEGIC Security Platform. SEALSQ is one of the very few semiconductors manufacturers in the world that offers secure open hardware platforms with a Common Criteria EAL 5+ certification.

Such platforms are ideal to host and run secure client applications that offer the highest level of security for authentication and access management applications. LEGIC's end-to-end security platform is ideal for enabling applications that require secure, contactless management of the interaction between people and things both on- and offline: Access control for buildings, rooms, lockers, furniture and IT equipment such as terminals and printers. Applications where many users share high-value resources such as vehicles, machines, office space or IT resources.

Supply chain security requiring managed and auditable access to containers and vehicles. Smart city applications that match parking, public transportation, infrastructure access, tourism and social inclusion services to individual permissions and requirements. Closed-loop ePayment applications such as corporate canteen or vending services.

According to Markets & Markets, the global Access Control market valuation alone stands at $10 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at an estimated 8.5% CAGR, to hit $15 billion in 2028. This is only part of the TAM that LEGIC technology addresses.
