With the following companies we managed successfull cryptographic projects and completed their IT-infrastructure with our cryptographic know-how.
In the context of the electronics strategy of VOLKSWAGEN and Audi, cryptovision and the two car manufacturers jointly develop concepts to secure the data transfer inside a motor vehicle. To protect software contents and the process of software creation against manipulation, cryptographic standard techniques are used.
For several years cryptovision provides cryptographic algorithms for the chipcard operating system ACOS of the Austrian card manufacturer Austria Card. The products are evaluated according to CC EAL4+ as usual in the smard card sector and are employed substantially in the banking sector.
The Albatros Versicherungsdienste GmbH (Insurance Services Ltd.) belongs to the insurance group of the Lufthansa group. The employment of cv act s/mail secures their email traffic and hence enables them to process more of their correspondence digitally.
The cryptovision gmbh company enhances the security of integral functions in Continental Division Automotive Systems' vehicle control units. The development of high-end security solutions for embedded control units is essential to meet the growing demands on electronics and software in automobiles. Cryptographic software by cryptovision secures the complete flash procedure. This not only applies to the signature creation for the programmable elements in the development but also to the signature verification on the flash control devices. The cryptographic library cv act library/es was used for the platforms TriCore, Star12 and PowerPC.
Daimler Chrysler employs crypto-algorithms for example to protect software-uploads for motor control unit processors. Due to a reference implementation of cryptovision the technological replacement of the RSA-based algorithms to long-term secure ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) technology is their aim.
Debeka, a leading German financial service provider, has connected its around 1,000 service points over a virtual private net (VPN) to its headquarters through cv act PKIntegrated. A very important requirement was, that issuing and renewing certificates could be realized easily and in a short time. Since Debeka has already a Novell eDirectory in operation, cryptovisions PKIntegrated in connection with the delivered add-on ocsp/responder proved to be the optimal solution.
cryptovision has built a Public Key Infrastructure to secure various internal processes for the public utility Harz Energie. It was Harz Energy?s goal to reevaluate and enhance the existing security mechanisms in several sectors of their IT infrastructure. For instance: internal personnel as well as home offices should be equipped smart card secured access.
cryptovision is a member of "IBM Partnerworld for Software" and "IBM Partnerworld for Developer". cryptovision has developed the plug-in cv act s/mail, that integrates additional security functions into Lotus Notes, IBM's messaging and collaboration platform. One can encrypt and digitally sign emails with cv act s/mail and it is a very comfortable tool to manage certificates and smart cards.
cryptovision implemented an RSA-algorithm with 2048 bit keylength on a platform, that was originally intended to cope with a maximal keylength of 1024 bits (the SLE66CX). In addition to signature generation and verification as well as encryption and decryption, the module comprises a secure key generation for RSA.
Novell, the world wide producer of internet communication platforms, counts on integrated PKI solutions from cryptovision. This extends Novells own solution spectrum. cv act s/mail has been YES-certified by Novell in the year 2002. The latest developments of cryptovision extends the proven management solution (Novell eDirectory with iManager) to a cost-efficient full-featured PKI.
cryptovision delivered ECC-libraries for different versions of the ORGA chipcard operating system MICARDO to the chipcard producer ORGA Kartensysteme. This comprises an implementation for the GF(p) form for an employment in the scope of MICARDO Public and a GF(2^n) version for the MICARDO Elliptic, which according to ITSEC E4/high is the first evaluated chipcard with ECC functionality worldwide. Further modules have been developed for the SmartXA (16-bit processor from Philips Semiconductors).
Postbank with ist 11.5 million clients the largest German bank relies on cv act PKIntegrated from cv cryptovision. Since Postbank operates a Novell eDirectory for the Identity Management and the intended PKI should be integrated into it, cv act PKIntegrated proved to be the optimal solution. Meanwhile, Postbank employs cv act PKIntegrated for VPNs, Code Signing and securing ist web portals.
cryptovision develops crypto-libraries for a panoply of very different processors for the chip producer Philips Semiconductors. The main platforms are the 8-bit smart card micro-controller; especially the dual-interface processor cards MIFARE ProX (P8RF) and the SmartMX (P5-family). Further modules have been developed for the 16-bit processors of the SmartXA family (P7) and the 32-bit HiPerSmart (P9).
Star Alliance, the world-wide network of major airlines (e.g. United Airlines, Lufthansa...), relies on the Novell?s Identity Management Novell in conjunction with the PKI solution ung cv act PKIntegrated from cv cryptovision. 350,000 employees of 15 airlines will access central applications of Star Alliance in the intended last stage of extension.
For several years, cryptovision as a strategic partner of TC TrustCenter employs TC TrustCenter?s certificates for its customers. In cooperation with GELSEN-NET and TC TrustCenter a mobile IdentPoint was implemented, that enables companies to issue legally binding certificates on the spot.
Vector Informatik relies on cv cryptovision technology in the development of their control unit software. For their embedded systems a bespoke module was developed. This cryptographic module secures the digital transfer path to the various control units (e.g. during a firmware update).
Westfleisch AG employs cv act webgate to transmit online slaughter and fodder data to their customers over a secure (protected) connection. Farmers use the sophisticated smart card technology to access the portal of Westfleisch. This protects Westfleisch against data missuse, data fraud and data theft.
