Hala Systems is a social enterprise founded in 2015 that develops advanced technology to protect civilians in conflict zones. Its mission is to reduce violence and provide accountability through the creation of early warning systems and tools for documenting war crimes.

‍

The company's flagship product is Sentry, an AI-powered early warning system that predicts and warns civilians of impending threats, such as airstrikes. Sentry uses a network of remote sensors and real-time data to provide warnings, giving people crucial time to find safety. The system has been deployed in Syria, where it has been credited with significantly reducing casualties. In addition to its warning capabilities, Hala Systems also focuses on accountability, developing tools that allow for the secure collection of evidence of war crimes.

‍

To ensure the integrity of the data collected, such as photos and videos of potential war crimes, Hala uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and cryptographically secure record of the evidence. Each piece of media has its metadata logged on the Hedera network, creating a verifiable and immutable audit trail.

SEALSQ is a Swiss-based semiconductor company that specialises in developing secure microcontrollers and implementing post-quantum cryptography. A subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ provides the hardware foundation for securing connected devices in a wide array of industries, including smart energy, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. 

‍

SEALSQ’s product portfolio is centred on providing end-to-end digital security. This includes the VaultIC family of secure elements, which are tamper-resistant microcontrollers offering cryptographic services for authentication and data integrity. They also develop secure ARM platforms and are pioneering post-quantum RISC-V chips to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Beyond the chips themselves, SEALSQ provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and provisioning services, allowing for the secure management of a device’s digital identity throughout its lifecycle.

‍

SEALSQ is partnered with Hedera to integrate its quantum-resistant semiconductors directly into the Hedera network's infrastructure. This partnership aims to protect the Hedera ecosystem from the emerging threat of quantum computing by "future-proofing" digital signatures and communication channels. Specifically, SEALSQ's hardware will be used in the SEALCOIN project, a tokenised platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions on Hedera, which is a core component of the DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) being developed by WISeKey and its subsidiaries.
