Passes Keysight's physical attack testing and TrustCB audit, establishing a top-tier hardware root of trust to accelerate global IoT compliance across Matter, EU CRA, RED, and US Cyber Trust Mark.

HSINCHU, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To help global IoT manufacturers navigate rising international regulatory barriers, iMQ Technology Inc., a leading Chip-level Secure Element Developer, today announced that its SQ713x Series secure element passed rigorous testing by authoritative laboratory Keysight and officially earned the highest-level security certifications—SESIP and PSA Certified Level 3. This milestone establishes a top-tier hardware security foundation with cross-regulatory compliance capabilities for the global IoT ecosystem.

Universal Security Root of Trust Across IoT Markets

As connected devices expand into broader IoT domains, manufacturers face compliance audits far beyond single-application standards. Following its India STQC national security certification and market demonstration at Japan's CEATEC, iMQ continues deepening global software-hardware integration. Achieving SESIP and PSA Certified Level 3 fulfills high-specification commitments for Matter smart homes and proves universal hardware defense across international markets. The SQ713x Series secure element effectively supports host SoC platforms in closing physical security gaps, delivering a reliable hardware root of trust for global ecosystem partners.

Top-Tier Defense: Resisting Advanced Fault Injection and Side-Channel Attacks

SESIP and PSA Certified Level 3 represent top-tier IoT security evaluation standards. At Keysight's laboratory, the SQ713x Series secure element successfully resisted high-difficulty physical Fault Injection (FI) targeting access control and True Random Number Generators (TRNG), Side-Channel Analysis (SCA), and logical attack vectors, proving its architecture keeps keys and firmware tamper-proof. Combined with NIST CAVP cryptographic algorithm validation, the SQ713x Series delivers end-to-end cryptographic protection.

Fast-Tracking EU CRA, RED, and US Cyber Trust Mark via Security Inheritance

Recognized by GlobalPlatform, the underlying evaluation framework maps to critical international standards, including the EU Cyber Resilience Act (EU CRA), EU Radio Equipment Directive (EU RED), US Cyber Trust Mark, IEC 62443 (industrial automation), and ISO 21434 (automotive cybersecurity). To solve the challenge of tightening global regulations and costly testing, the SQ713x Series enables end-product brands and module vendors to leverage the "Security Inheritance" mechanism. By inheriting chip-level evaluation results, customers bypass bottom-up re-verification, slashing review timelines by months and reducing certification costs by millions.

Looking ahead, iMQ will continue building on international cybersecurity standards to deepen collaboration with IoT communication chipmakers, cloud certificate providers, and smart hardware vendors. "With internationally validated secure element technology, we empower global partners to seamlessly meet regulatory demands and jointly construct a trusted IoT ecosystem," stated Frank Lin, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of iMQ Technology.
