This research identifies a critical vulnerability in the encoding step of ML-KEM, a NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithm, by combining profiling-based techniques with lattice reduction to exploit side-channel leakage. The findings underscore implementation risks inherent in hardware security modules and provide actionable countermeasures for developers deploying quantum-resistant encryption schemes.

SEALSQ Presents Research on Side-Channel Attacks Against ML-KEM

The Quantum InsiderOctober 14, 20263 min read

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that its research team presented a peer-reviewed technical article on a novel side-channel attack targeting the encoding step of ML-KEM (Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism, […]

SEALSQ presented peer-reviewed research at LightSec 2026 on a side-channel attack targeting the encoding step of ML-KEM key generation, along with countermeasures to reduce implementation vulnerabilities. The research combines profiling-based techniques with lattice reduction to recover sensitive information from side-channel leakage under realistic conditions. The work examines implementation risks in NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography and complements SEALSQ’s hardware security development,…
