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.

This year cryptovision was again present at the RSA conference in San Francisco, one of the world’s most important events for IT security. And of course cryptovision participated again in the traditional evening reception with the German consul. This time, the venue was a club not far from the famous Transamerica Pyramid, hosted by the industry association TeleTrusT. During this ceremony cryptovision received a Common Criteria certificate for the Jacolyn CSP (version 2) from the hands of BSI department head Dr. Günther Welsch. The Jacolyn CSP is a Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) that can be used as a cryptographic security core for numerous applications, including the cryptovision TSE v2 for cash registers. The architecture of this product is in line with the CSP concept developed by the BSI, which provides for the encapsulation of crypto functions and enables easy integration without specialized cryptographic knowledge. By certifying the Jacolyn CSP, cryptovision strengthens its position as a provider of secure and easy-to-use crypto solutions.

The events that have taken place during 2020 seem to have put us all at great distance. The pandemic has shrouded the world in a fog of fears of death and illness. But it’s not just the disease itself, which causes hardship to people: coronavirus mitigation measures taken by rich countries to protect themselves, directly affect those less fortunate all over the world. Instead of isolating and turning inward to focus on our own challenges, let us take up the true spirit of the holiday season by being compassionate and let us cultivate a more balanced sense of responsibility for others and ourselves.
cryptovision is committed to manifesting this change. We have made charitable contributions to projects in affected regions, with a focus on our areas of business.
The cryptovision family would like to wish you and yours a joyous holiday season, a very happy New Year and all the best in 2021!
