IT security in the Aviation Industry

The aviation industry combines highest security demands during development with highest requirements for safety and security during the lifetime of the final system. Accomplished projects in this field range from encryption systems for satellite communication to complete public-key infrastructures for strong authentication. See our solution whitepapers for strong authentication and VPNs to gain some knowledge and identify your needs.

Embedded Systems in Automotive Industry

Software has a growing significance in modern automobiles, controlling more and more
important vehicle functions. The size of the internal network of electronic control units increases with every new car generation, and external wireless communication and internet access in the car add additional security challenges.

How can these complex systems be secured? For eight years, cryptovision has been active in this field, providing cryptographic components and consulting services for digital rights management, firmware protection, the security of external car interfaces and for safeguarding highly sensitive automotive data like mileage or engine calibration.

Energy Measurement

Today, energy measurement data are usually collected, transmitted and stored in digital form. Even in the field of low-cost meters for end-users, smart metering systems begin to dominate the market. Legal regulations and practical security issues lead to a demand for cryptographic protection of these data.

Depending on the security concept and the applicable legal framework, cryptographic
mechanisms can be added to a metering system solely as a supplementary software
addition, or in form of a partial hardware re-design with an additional security chip. Cryptovision has successfully developed and delivered security components for both approaches.

But not only the metering data have to be secured: with the homogeneous tool chain of cryptovision, the complete infrastructure from the metering backbone to the billing system can handle secured data.
