C-ITS for the European Commission
The challenge for the European Commission
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) encompass a network of technologies that enable seamless communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users, improving traffic safety, efficiency, and mobility. To ensure effectiveness, C-ITS relies on standardization and centralized control. In the European Union, this responsibility falls to the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission’s science and knowledge service. C-ITS is expected to play a pivotal role in the future of transportation, with the European Commission and the Joint Research Centre at the forefront of its development and implementation.
A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is essential for the functioning of any C-ITS system. The C-ITS PKI, managed by the Joint Research Centre, serves as the security foundation for all C-ITS operations across Europe.
Our solution for the European Commission
In 2020, the Joint Research Centre selected Eviden Digital Identity (then Atos) to deploy and manage its C-ITS PKI. The solution implemented for this purpose is the IDnomic C-ITS PKI. As a result, the IDnomic C-ITS PKI has become the central trust anchor for C-ITS users across Europe, including governments, public and private road authorities, and car manufacturers. These entities rely on it to authenticate their connected stations and secure their communications.
The C-ITS PKI solution provided by Eviden Digital Identity is hosted by Orange Business Services in France. It is the first C-ITS-compliant PKI to issue digital certificates for large-scale, real-world operations, moving beyond pilot projects to support everyday use.

Online Patent Registration
The Challenge for the European Patent Office
The European Patent Office used a proprietary smart card solution for online patent applications, which led to a vendor lock. This solution should be replaced.
Our Solution for the European Patent Office
The European Patent Office opted for cryptovision SCinterface for the protection of online patent applications. As cryptovision SCinterface is based on open standards, the vendor lock was ended.

Secure emails for the BMBF
The challenge for the BMBF
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) required a solution for encrypting and signing emails for around 1,500 users. In addition to a high level of security, user-friendliness was a particularly important criterion for this customer. In particular, the selected solution had to enable the smooth use of departmental mailboxes and offer automated key management. Seamless integration into existing infrastructures and processes also played an important role for the customer. Finally, it was a requirement of the customer that classified information could be processed and sent in some departments. At the same time, however, VS requirements are to be dispensed with in other departments.
Our solution for the BMBF
The BMBF opted for the cryptovision GreenShield product as it best met the requirements mentioned. GreenShield is one of the few solutions of its kind to be approved for processing documents up to classification level VS-NfD and is therefore ideally suited to the BMBF’s VS requirements. The digital certificates for VS-compliant communication are provided fully automatically by a sub-CA of the administrative PKI.

The challenge for the HZD
The Hessische Zentrale für Datenverarbeitung (HZD) has over 1000 IT users who require cryptographically protected emails. The aim is to make e-mail traffic secure throughout the state. Like many other authorities, the HZD operates departmental mailboxes whose operation must not be impaired by the use of cryptography.
Our solution for the HZD
HZD opted for cryptovision GreenShield because GreenShield offers a high level of security and user-friendliness at the same time. It was also ideal for implementing the departmental mailboxes.
