WISeKey International Holding Ltd, a global cybersecurity, blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) company, has announced that its subsidiary SEALCOIN and WeCanGroup are joining forces to enable secure transactions and advanced identity verification within the WeCanGroup ecosystem. This partnership will bring together SEALCOIN’s blockchain-based IoT and digital asset ecosystem with WeCanGroup’s trusted compliance and data security framework, enhancing the way banking, government and defence sectors onboard and interact with connected devices.
SEALCOIN is designed to securely authenticate and facilitate transactions between IoT devices, making them fully trusted and autonomous actors within a decentralised economy. By integrating SEALCOIN’s cybersecurity and blockchain capabilities into the WeCanGroup ecosystem, IoT devices will be able to perform secure, verifiable transactions while ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
WeCanGroup, a contributor in secure digital identity and compliance solutions, is dedicated to enhancing data security and trust across industries. Through this collaboration, WeCanGroup’s Know Your Client (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) solutions will be expanded with Know Your Object (KYO), a revolutionary approach to verifying and managing IoT devices in highly regulated environments.
Unlocking new use cases in regulated sectors
The integration of SEALCOIN and WeCanGroup’s digital identity solutions will foster advanced onboarding processes for IoT ecosystems, enabling high-trust, high-security transactions in:
- Banking and finance – Enabling trusted digital asset transactions, compliance-driven IoT payments, and regulatory oversight for financial services.
- Government and public services – Secure authentication of connected devices used in critical infrastructure, identity management and smart city applications.
- Defence and aerospace – Ensuring tamper-proof identity verification and transactional integrity for defence IoT systems and secure communication networks.
