SEALSQ Corp. announced its participation at the inauguration of Kaynes Semicon?s Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Sanand, Gujarat, and within it, the first phase localization of the planned SEALSQ?Kaynes Post-Quantum Cryptography Personalization Center, which will be India?s first facility dedicated to the sovereign, large-scale personalization of quantum-safe semiconductor devices. The Center, which will be physically embedded within the OSAT facility, aims to transform this ambition into operational reality.
The Center plans to enable end-to-end, sovereign semiconductor production: chips will be assembled, tested, and cryptographically personalized within a single, India-controlled environment. The Center is planned to be built on FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified Hardware Security Modules that aim to serve as the root of trust for all key generation and certificate signing operations. A defining feature of the center is intended to be the deployment of an India-sovereign intermediate Certificate Authority, jointly operated by SEALSQ and Kaynes under SEALKAYNESQ governance.
The Center will operate under the governance of SEALKAYNESQ Ltd, the joint venture in the process of being established by SEALSQ and Kaynes Semicon following the signing of an LOI in January 2026. SEALKAYNESQ aims to bring together two complementary bodies of expertise: SEALSQ?s deep IP in post-quantum cryptography, PKI architecture, and secure semiconductor design, and Kaynes Semicon?s proven OSAT manufacturing capabilities, MeitY-aligned regulatory standing, and established relationships across India?s electronics and government ecosystem. Together, they plan to form a vertically integrated platform, from wafer-level assembly and electrical test, through to secure cryptographic personalization and sovereign certificate issuance, that is entirely India-based and India-controlled.
The initiative is being developed in active coordination with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the central authority overseeing India?s electronics, IT, cybersecurity, and emerging technology strategy.
