Is it acceptable that an authority issuing electronic identity cards have these used by third parties and charge for this? Klaus Schmeh, Chief Marketing Editor at cryptovision and author of numerous books and articles, has published an article in The Vault magazine about this topic. There are many possibilities for such refinancing. For example, an identity card issuer may include a credit card function in the card and have this service paid for by the credit card company. Or they can charge the vending machine operator for the proof of age used by, say, a cigarette vending machine. How something like this can be realized technically was discussed in several cryptovision lectures at Mindshare, the Security Document World and Secure Identification.
cryptovision Mindshare 2018 was hot (not only because of the weather) and inspiring. We have now released a seven minutes video with scenes from the conference, the exhibition and, of course, the legendary CryptoNite party. If you were among the lucky ones who attended Mindshare, enjoy some of the highlights once again. If you missed Mindshare, our video will give you an impression of the fun we had at this great event.
cryptovisions Klaus Schmeh has published an article about the current post-quantum crypto competition in the German computer magazine iX (issue 6/2018). Together with Dr. Claus Diem from the University of Leipzig, Klaus not only reports on the current state of the cryptological beauty contest, but also explains some of the mathematically demanding post-quantum methods in a vivid way. In addition, the iX team asked Klaus Schmeh to write the editorial of the current iX issue – a rare honor for an external employee. cryptovision wishes you a lot of fun reading the two contributions!
Once again, Klaus Schmeh, Chief Editor Marketing at cryptovision, was present in the media. In the program Matinee of radio station SWR 2 he answered the questions of moderator Stefanie Junker (switched-in from another studio, therefore not in the picture). As is often the case on such occasions, Klaus reported on the legendary encryption machine Enigma and the famous Voynich manuscript. Modern encryption technology, in which cryptovision is active, was discussed, too.The moderator’s questions proved quite creative. But even on “How did you come to the encryption? Through an Yps book?” or “How do cryptologists say goodbye?” Klaus found the right answer.
When from April 24-26 the ID4Africa takes place for the fourth time, cryptovision will be present for the fourth time with a booth (#C39). The ID4Africa has become the most important forum for electronic identities and eID cards in Africa – on a continent where there are well over a billion people who need access to the Internet, public authorities and banks. The venue for this year’s ID4Africa is Abuja, Nigeria. Nigeria is not only by far the most populous country in Africa, but also home of cryptovision’s largest eID customer, NIMC, which provides its 180 million citizens with eID cards. Nigeria’s neighbor Ghana is a long-year cryptovision customer, too. In the following video, Emmanuel Selby from Ghanaian identity management specialist Margins Group (ID4Africa booth #B21) explains why he enjoys working with cryptovision:
