SEALSQ's QVault TPM183 Integrated into iMTC Medical Mouse

SEALSQ Corp, a leading innovator in post-quantum technology, has secured a significant design win with iMTC Technology, a Taiwan-based provider of fingerprint recognition and medical input solutions. The collaboration will see SEALSQ's QVault TPM183 integrated into iMTC's next-generation Fingerprint Recognition Medical Mouse, designed for hospitals and healthcare environments.

The new mouse, which supports Windows Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) and Windows Hello, combines fingerprint recognition technology with SEALSQ's trusted hardware security technology. This integration aims to provide a secure and convenient authentication solution for healthcare professionals accessing medical workstations and healthcare applications. The device is also suitable for various other industries, including industrial manufacturing, education and research, logistics, government services, and banking.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, commented, "SEALSQ already secures healthcare at the device and card level. With the addition of TPM183, we can address a hospital's full trust chain, from patient credentials to medical devices and clinician logins, with one root-of-trust architecture. This breadth is what makes healthcare a durable, multi-product market for us."

iMTC Technology selected SEALSQ's TPM183 for its comprehensive security features. Moreira explained, "We evaluated several security providers and chose SEALSQ because TPM183 offered a certified TPM 2.0 root of trust, native support for Windows ESS, and a defined migration path to post-quantum cryptography. Hospitals often purchase equipment for a decade, so our customers need confidence that the security in the device today will remain credible against future threats. SEALSQ allowed us to design that in from the start."

The iMTC Fingerprint Recognition Medical Mouse product family includes four configurations: 1. iM-FRM-2608A - Basic Version: A fingerprint recognition mouse supporting Windows ESS and Windows Hello. 2. iM-FRM-2608TPM - TPM Version: Integrates SEALSQ TPM183 with TPM 2.0 architecture, supporting Windows ESS and Windows Hello and providing hardware-based protection for cryptographic keys and device identity. The platform also offers a roadmap toward future Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) support. 3. iM-FRM-2608SE - Secure Element Version: Integrates a customizable Secure Element and supports Windows ESS, Windows Hello, and advanced cryptographic functions. 4. iM-FRM-2608QS - Security MCU Version: Integrates a Security MCU with Windows ESS, Windows Hello, and FIDO2 support.

The collaboration highlights the growing importance of hardware-based security solutions in healthcare environments. Hospitals operate large fleets of shared workstations that require frequent, auditable clinician sign-on. As data protection and medical-device cybersecurity requirements tighten, authentication is moving from software-only credentials toward hardware-anchored roots of trust. Each TPM-enabled unit represents semiconductor content for SEALSQ, and healthcare IT refresh cycles create a recurring replacement base.

SEALSQ's chips are already used to read patient cards in terminals deployed by major European national healthcare systems. The company's secure elements and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) secure connected medical devices and remote patient monitoring systems. The TPM-enabled version of the mouse provides a hardware-based root of trust that protects cryptographic keys and login credentials in shared hospital environments, where doctors, nurses, and technicians repeatedly access common workstations, electronic medical records, and patient information systems.

Embedding fingerprint recognition in the mouse secures access without changing clinician workflow, a common barrier to adoption in hospital IT. Anchoring authentication in SEALSQ silicon also gives iMTC a path to evolving cybersecurity requirements, including the transition to post-quantum cryptography.
