How can an organization migrate to post-quantum cryptography as smoothly as possible? At the MCTTP conference in Munich, Simon Ulmer and Klaus Schmeh from Eviden Digital Identity provided answers in an unusual way. Their presentation in science fiction design was one of the highlights of the event, which took place on September 18 and 19. The audience learned that, among other things, a crypto inventory and a risk assessment are necessary for a proper migration. The transition to post-quantum cryptography for smartcards and embedded systems will be particularly challenging.
Just one week after Mindshare Simon and Klaus showed once again that presentations by Eviden Digital Identity are pretty much anything but boring.
400 participants and guests, 33 talks, a fantastic party, and plenty of networking – that was Mindshare 2024, held on September 11th and 12th at the Gelsenkirchen Science Park. For all those who want to relive these two great days, and for all those who weren’t there, here is the official Mindshare video:
With 30,000 participants, DEF CON in Las Vegas is the largest hacker conference in the world. At this year’s edition (August 8-11), Klaus Schmeh, crypto specialist from Eviden Digital Identity, was represented with two presentations. His presentations, which he gave together with US crypto expert Elonka Dunin, focused on cracking various encryption methods and software programs that can be used for this purpose. Around 500 people attended each of the two presentations and, as always, Klaus Schmeh and his co-speaker’s vivid presentation style was extremely well received.
In the two days before DEF CON, the BSides conference also took place in Las Vegas, which addresses a similar target group, but is less commercially oriented and much smaller with 2000 participants. Klaus Schmeh and Elonka Dunin also gave a presentation at BSides. It was about modern computer algorithms that can be used to solve historically significant encryptions. Around 200 spectators watched the presentation, which featured numerous animations, and were captivated by the fascination of code-breaking.

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.
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.
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:
