Gunnar Preißler (Eviden Mission Critical Systems) and Klaus Schmeh (Eviden Digital Identity) will be presenting a solution for cryptographically securing communications in the rail sector at this year’s German IT Security Congress. This is a hardware component developed by Eviden in collaboration with Swedish supplier Westermo. The solution comprises a robust network device into which a security module in µSD format is integrated. This module performs the cryptographic functions and stores the keys. The security module can be replaced if necessary, without having to replace the entire component. Crypto-agility is thus assured.
The German IT Security Conference is organized by the Federal Office for Information Technology Security (BSI), and will take place this year on May 7 and 8 as an online event. Several thousand participants are expected. Gunnar Preißler and Klaus Schmeh will present on the first day at 11 a.m., just after the BSI keynote speeches. They are already looking forward to welcoming a large number of interested spectators.
More than 2000 participants and over 100 exhibitors from all over the world will be present when ID4Africa opens its doors for the eighth time from May 21 to 24. The venue for this year’s edition is Cape Town in South Africa. ID4Africa is regarded as the most important forum for electronic ID cards and digital identities in Africa – a continent with well over a billion people who need secure digital access to the Internet, public authorities and banks.
As in previous years, Eviden Digital Identity – with the brands cryptovision and Idnomic – will be represented at ID4Africa with a stand (B16). Visitors will be able to find out about Eviden Digital Identity’s Citizen ID product portfolio, which has grown significantly in recent years. In addition to the eID-PKI solutions, this includes the eID middleware cryptovision SCinterface, the Java card framework cryptovision ePasslet Suite and much more. All of these solutions have been used for years in numerous African and other countries and have proven themselves in practice. Find out more at ID4Africa 2024.
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.
