NXP has added the ePasslet Suite to its product portfolio

The challenge for NXP

Java Card, a proven technology for programming smart cards, plays an important role at cryptovision. As an open and manufacturer-independent system, Java Card supports cryptovision’s approach to always rely on open standards. The ePasslet Suite, cryptovisions framework for the realization of electronic ID cards of all kinds, is based on Java Card. This means that the ePasslet Suite is not dependent on the type of card used, but can be used on any Java Card operating system.

Our solution for NXP

The Java Card operating system on which the ePasslet Suite is most frequently used is JCOP from NXP. NXP, a Dutch semiconductor manufacturer that emerged from the Philips Group, has therefore been an important partner of cryptovision for many years. NXP also offers the ePasslet Suite (under the name eDoc Suite) in its own product portfolio.

Uniklinik Würzburg

The University Hospital of Würzburg operates its PKI with PKIntegrated

The challenge for the University Hospital Würzburg

The University Hospital Würzburg is one of the largest hospitals in Bavaria. In addition to more than 4,000 employees, there are numerous external IT users. Like every hospital, the University Hospital Würzburg attaches great importance to IT security, since patient data must be protected.

In order to meet the high security requirements, the University Hospital Würzburg has introduced strong encryption and authentication mechanisms based on digital certificates. These protect different medical IT applications. Wherever possible, private keys are stored on smart cards. Software keys are only used in exceptional cases. The University Hospital of Würzburg has set up a public key infrastructure (PKI) to manage the digital certificates.

 

Our solution for the University Hospital Würzburg

The certification authority (CA) of the PKI of the University Hospital Würzburg is operated with PKIntegrated by cryptovision. This high-end product proved to be optimal as it is seamlessly integrated into the identity management solution of Micro Focus used by the hospital.

Micro Focus’s identity management solution (with products such as eDirectory, Identity Manager and iManager) used to be a family of products from the US software giant Novell. Novell was acquired in 2010 and later merged into Micro Focus. cryptovision has been a partner of Novell and its successors for 15 years. The PKI solution PKIntegrated is seamlessly integrated into the identity management of Micro Focus. The University Hospital of Würzburg, a long-term Novell and Micro Focus customer, quickly realized that PKIntegrated was an ideal fit for its environment. PKIntegrated has been in operation there for over five years.

In addition to PKIntegrated, the University Hospital of Würzburg also uses the smartcard middleware SCinterface from cryptovision. This connects the PCs of the users with the cards. Another solution is a card management system from Nexus Technologies.

The University Hospital Würzburg is one of many cryptovision customers in the healthcare sector. Most of them are large hospitals with complex IT infrastructures that have to protect their data reliably without affecting the often life-critical work of their staff.

Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg

Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg

With our card solution, CHL was able to abolish numerous passwords

The challenge for CHL

In a hospital not only high security requirements apply (not to be imagined if patient data fall into the hands of hackers), but also high demands on user-friendliness. For example, an emergency doctor or surgeon cannot deal with complicated passwords when a patient next door is in danger of death.

The Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL), which operates several clinics in Luxembourg, was therefore looking for a secure and user-friendly solution to eliminate as many passwords as possible with the same card (or token). With this one solution, a clinic employee should be able to enter the garage in the morning, log on to the PC, start various programs, operate time recording and pay in the canteen.

 

Our solution for CHL

With the multi-application card and the smartcard middleware from cryptovision, the CHL’s wish could be fulfilled in an ideal way. In the meantime, even more applications have been added to the originally planned ones. The employee card is now also used to digitally sign e-mails and workflows. The card solution has made CHL’s day-to-day work easier, while security has increased.

cryptovision guarantees the safety of the Siemens HiMed Cockpit

The challenge for Siemens

HiMed Cockpit from Siemens is a successful multimedia terminal for the hospital bed. It “offers patients comfort in a new dimension” (Siemens website). With the HiMed Cockpit, patients can make phone calls, watch TV, surf the Internet, obtain information via a patient portal, use various applications and more. The integrated camera even enables a virtual visit to the hospital by relatives.

The HiMed Cockpit is also a great help for doctors and nurses. It can be connected to the hospital information system, allowing a doctor, for example, to view a patient’s medical record at the bedside. Thanks to smartcard authentication, the security of sensitive data is guaranteed at all times.

 

Our solution for Siemens

cryptovision has developed an extension of the smartcard middleware SCinterface for Siemens. This is used on the HiMed cockpits and enables the secure login of a doctor or nurse.

cryptovision delivers encryption with military security

The challenge for the Bundeswehr

The Bundeswehr is Germany’s largest IBM Notes user. Microsoft Outlook is also used by the German armed forces. It goes without saying that e-mail encryption is indispensable for an army. However, the native encryption functions of Notes and Outlook neither have the necessary security evaluations nor do they offer all the functions required for large user groups. The Bundeswehr therefore had to look for a better e-mail encryption solution.

 

Our solution for the Bundeswehr

Although there are many e-mail encryption solutions on the market, cryptovision’s s/mail proved to be the only one that met the high requirements of the German Armed Forces. Unlike some other email encryption products, s/mail is client-based and offers end-to-end security. In addition, s/mail is available for both Notes and Outlook, which was an important criterion for the Bundeswehr.

It also offers a number of practical functions that are particularly interesting for large user groups. Above all, s/mail offers the highest security level of all currently available e-mail encryption solutions. It has a VS-NfD, “NATO Restricted” and “EU Restricted” approval.

There is no other e-mail crypto product with comparable certifications on the market. In a process lasting several years, the Bundeswehr evaluated s/mail. For cryptovision, the feedback from the Bundeswehr was valuable suggestions for improving and expanding the program. In 2007, the Bundeswehr acquired an s/mail corporate license.
