Gunnar Preißler (Eviden Mission Critical Systems) and Klaus Schmeh (Eviden Digital Identity) will be presenting a solution for cryptographically securing communications in the rail sector at this year’s German IT Security Congress. This is a hardware component developed by Eviden in collaboration with Swedish supplier Westermo. The solution comprises a robust network device into which a security module in µSD format is integrated. This module performs the cryptographic functions and stores the keys. The security module can be replaced if necessary, without having to replace the entire component. Crypto-agility is thus assured.
The German IT Security Conference is organized by the Federal Office for Information Technology Security (BSI), and will take place this year on May 7 and 8 as an online event. Several thousand participants are expected. Gunnar Preißler and Klaus Schmeh will present on the first day at 11 a.m., just after the BSI keynote speeches. They are already looking forward to welcoming a large number of interested spectators.
More than 2000 participants and over 100 exhibitors from all over the world will be present when ID4Africa opens its doors for the eighth time from May 21 to 24. The venue for this year’s edition is Cape Town in South Africa. ID4Africa is regarded as the most important forum for electronic ID cards and digital identities in Africa – a continent with well over a billion people who need secure digital access to the Internet, public authorities and banks.
As in previous years, Eviden Digital Identity – with the brands cryptovision and Idnomic – will be represented at ID4Africa with a stand (B16). Visitors will be able to find out about Eviden Digital Identity’s Citizen ID product portfolio, which has grown significantly in recent years. In addition to the eID-PKI solutions, this includes the eID middleware cryptovision SCinterface, the Java card framework cryptovision ePasslet Suite and much more. All of these solutions have been used for years in numerous African and other countries and have proven themselves in practice. Find out more at ID4Africa 2024.
Over 100 participants attended Silicon Trust’s online seminar “Post Quantum Cryptography – The Impact on Identity” on April 10. The speakers included Klaus Schmeh from Eviden Digital Identity, who spoke about the implementation of post-quantum cryptography on smartcards – an important topic, as current smartcard architectures are not designed for post-quantum crypto processes. Moderator Steve Atkins praised Schmeh’s “unique presentation style” in the announcement and was not disappointed. The long-time Eviden and cryptovision employee offered edutainment at the highest level – with slides in comic design, numerous animations and first-hand information. If you missed the seminar, you can watch the lectures and presentation slides online. The links can be found on the seminar website.
There is now an innovative extension for the cryptovision GreenShield email encryption software: a preview module for post-quantum cryptography. This enables PQC and composite signatures as well as PQC encryption with the CRYSTALS-Dilithium and CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithms, based on self-signed certificates. Both cryptovision GreenShield Mail and cryptovision GreenShield File support the new functions.
With the new feature, cryptovision GreenShield users can already evaluate post-quantum procedures today. Interested parties can be accompanied by Eviden Digital Identity during an evaluation.
Anyone interested can find out more at Omnisecure from January 22 to 24 in Berlin. A team from Eviden Digital Identity will be on site, so feel free to talk to us, for example during the two presentations we will be giving at this event.
This year’s TRUSTECH congress trade fair in Paris attracted over 6500 participants and 200 exhibitors to the Expo Center at the Porte de Versailles. Eviden Digital Identity was there again. On November 29, Klaus Schmeh gave a highly acclaimed presentation on post-quantum cryptography, and on the evening of the same day, Eviden Digital Identity hosted the famous Cryptonite party. High above the rooftops of Paris, over 120 hand-picked guests enjoyed wine and French specialties against a fascinating backdrop. The following video gives some impressions of this extraordinary event:
