With almost 35,000 students, Dortmund Technical University (TU) is one of the 20 largest universities in Germany. Students at this university use the UniCard 2.0 as their student identity card, a smartcard issued in the corporate design of the University Alliance Ruhr (consisting of Ruhr University Bochum, TU Dortmund and University Duisburg-Essen).
This card is also recognised outside the university, for example when it comes to reduced admission prices. In addition, the UniCard 2.0 provides security for IT use.
With the certificates stored on it, it is possible to sign and encrypt e-mails. Students can also use the card to register at various TU Dortmund services. The UniCard 2.0 also makes cashless payment possible at various locations on campus and outside.
As UniCard 2.0 the Giro-Go card of the Sparkasse is used. The TU Dortmund uses the smartcard middleware SCinterface from cryptovision for the UniCard 2.0. Students can download it free of charge from a Uni server and install it on their private PC. By an extension it is possible to use digital certificates of the DFN-PKI with it. This extension is the result of a close cooperation between Sparkassenverlag (manufacturer of the Giro-Go cards) and cryptovision (manufacturer of the middleware).

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.
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.

Various institutions, such as the European Parliament, the Directorate-General for Justice, and the Directorate-General for Personnel, have pointed out the need to protect their information systems.
Typical use cases include providing secure digital identities to users for strong authentication, as well as confidentiality and integrity of information exchange and protection of network infrastructure.
For the European Commission, we deployed our PKI suite together with the Credential Management System for full coverage of all use cases and, in particular, for strong smartcard-based authentication of users. In addition, the electronic certificates created by our solutions secure the network infrastructure devices.
