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:
Eviden Digital Security is delighted to announce that their Java Card framework cryptovision ePasslet Suite v4.0 – NXP eDoc Suite v4.0 – has received Common Criteria (CC) EAL5+ certifications on NXP’s JCOP4.5 P71 Java Card platform.
Apart from a wide variety of applications and features supported, cryptovision ePasslet Suite v4.0 on JCOP4.5 P71 features biometric match-on-card methods for fingerprint and face verification covered by Common Criteria certification of the product for Secure Signature Creation Devie (SSCD) configurations allowing use of the biometric methods together with PIN in digital signature creation flows.
cryptovision ePasslet Suite provides applets for various eID document applications, including electronic passports, eIDAS-compliant ID and signature cards, international electronic driver’s licenses, electronic health cards (eHIC), custom national eID cards and more.
In addition, ePasslet Suite can be freely customized through various configuration options. It can evolve to support new use cases and applications while retaining Common Criteria (CC) certification of its certified applications, thereby enabling multi-application cards and documents. It is available in three editions, offering cost-efficient configurations for standard as well as high-end and customized ID document solutions. Samples of the solution are now available on request.
Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in cybersecurity with deep expertise in critical communications, and Westermo one of the leading specialists for industrial data communication, announced their partnership. Together, the two companies seek to develop cutting-edge solutions for secure communication in the industrial and railway environment and are relying on crypto agile OT and IoT devices for this purpose. In times of rapidly changing threat situations and multiple attack vectors, these solutions enable rapid adaptability for operators of critical infrastructures and thus protect investments.
The cooperation between Eviden and Westermo kicks off with a project in Germany in which industrial managed Layer 3 Gigabit switches (Lynx 3510) from Westermo are equipped with Eviden’s pluggable HSMs (Hardware Security Modules) in microSD format. Special crypto-software will be installed on the cards to further secure these switches and prepare them for future cybersecurity scenarios. The crypto-switches ensure the longer lifecycle of the switch platform in terms of investment protection. By relying on replaceable HSMs and thus on crypto-agility, the solution ensures continuous compliance with the highest security requirements.
With this partnership, Eviden demonstrates its extensive expertise in cybersecurity for the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and shows the growing need for crypto agile solutions in the industry.

The new version 2 of Eviden’s cryptovision TSE has been certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
A TSE (Technical Security Equipment) is a security module for cash registers designed to prevent tax fraud. It ensures that every transaction is logged and digitally signed. Since January 1, 2020, every electronic or computerized cash register in Germany must be equipped with a TSE. From 2024, the TSE obligation will also apply to taximeters. The structure and functionality of a TSE are described in the Technical Guideline TR-03153 (Technical Security Device for Electronic Recording Systems) of the BSI.
The cryptovision TSE is an established TSE implementation from Eviden, version 2 of which has now been certified. It enables retail, catering and cab companies to record their transactions in a legally compliant manner in accordance with legal requirements and BSI specifications.
In ten years, there will be quantum computers that can crack RSA and other crypto algorithms. This is the worst-case assumption of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), which is why there will soon be regulations requiring security-critical IT systems to migrate to post-quantum processes. But how does a company or public authority go about switching to the new algorithms as smoothly as possible? A new “PQC Migration Guide” from Eviden provides the answer. The 16-page guide covers crypto agility, crypto inventories, Mosca’s theorem, and numerous other topics that play a role in post-quantum migration. The “PQC Migration Guide” is available for free download.
This year cryptovision was again present at the RSA conference in San Francisco, one of the world’s most important events for IT security. And of course cryptovision participated again in the traditional evening reception with the German consul. This time, the venue was a club not far from the famous Transamerica Pyramid, hosted by the industry association TeleTrusT. During this ceremony cryptovision received a Common Criteria certificate for the Jacolyn CSP (version 2) from the hands of BSI department head Dr. Günther Welsch. The Jacolyn CSP is a Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) that can be used as a cryptographic security core for numerous applications, including the cryptovision TSE v2 for cash registers. The architecture of this product is in line with the CSP concept developed by the BSI, which provides for the encapsulation of crypto functions and enables easy integration without specialized cryptographic knowledge. By certifying the Jacolyn CSP, cryptovision strengthens its position as a provider of secure and easy-to-use crypto solutions.
Everything you need to know as a beginner on the subject of post-quantum cryptography, explained in an understandable way on 24 pages, in a German and an English version – this is the concept of the new Atos whitepaper on the subject of post-quantum cryptography. It explains the most important algorithms in a clear manner, avoiding overly complicated mathematics. Since the year 2022 will go down in history as the one in which the standardization of post-quantum cryptography first took concrete shape, this aspect is also highlighted. And finally, the white paper addresses the challenges of the coming years. These include bringing the new methods into the existing chip architectures despite long keys and, in some cases, poorer performance. If you want to know more about these topics, you can download the Atos whitepaper on post-quantum cryptography here.
