cryptovision guarantees the safety of the Siemens HiMed Cockpit

The challenge for Siemens

HiMed Cockpit from Siemens is a successful multimedia terminal for the hospital bed. It “offers patients comfort in a new dimension” (Siemens website). With the HiMed Cockpit, patients can make phone calls, watch TV, surf the Internet, obtain information via a patient portal, use various applications and more. The integrated camera even enables a virtual visit to the hospital by relatives.

The HiMed Cockpit is also a great help for doctors and nurses. It can be connected to the hospital information system, allowing a doctor, for example, to view a patient’s medical record at the bedside. Thanks to smartcard authentication, the security of sensitive data is guaranteed at all times.

 

Our solution for Siemens

cryptovision has developed an extension of the smartcard middleware SCinterface for Siemens. This is used on the HiMed cockpits and enables the secure login of a doctor or nurse.

    Our middleware is used in all Volkswagen subareas

    The challenge for VW

    Mac computers, on which the macOS operating system runs, have enjoyed increasing popularity within the Volkswagen Group for years. This leads to conflicts with the company’s security guidelines. The IT infrastructure at Volkswagen is protected in many places by smart cards, which is not compatible with the traditionally weak smart card support of Apple products. Moreover, since the smartcard middleware used by Volkswagen cannot run on macOS, the use of smartcards on Macs was not possible at Volkswagen for a long time. This meant that Mac users had to log on to the PC and various applications as well as encrypt and digitally sign with software solutions, which affected both security and user-friendliness.

     

    Our solution for VW

    To close the macOS gap, Volkswagen decided to use SCinterface, the smartcard middleware from cryptovision. SCinterface is one of the most versatile solutions of its kind on the worldwide market and as such also executable on the macOS. The smartcard weakness of the Mac is fixed with SCinterface.

    SCinterface for macOS is now used in all Volkswagen sub-areas, including VW, Audi and the Autostadt.

      NXP has added the ePasslet Suite to its product portfolio

      The challenge for NXP

      Java Card, a proven technology for programming smart cards, plays an important role at cryptovision. As an open and manufacturer-independent system, Java Card supports cryptovision’s approach to always rely on open standards. The ePasslet Suite, cryptovisions framework for the realization of electronic ID cards of all kinds, is based on Java Card. This means that the ePasslet Suite is not dependent on the type of card used, but can be used on any Java Card operating system.

      Our solution for NXP

      The Java Card operating system on which the ePasslet Suite is most frequently used is JCOP from NXP. NXP, a Dutch semiconductor manufacturer that emerged from the Philips Group, has therefore been an important partner of cryptovision for many years. NXP also offers the ePasslet Suite (under the name eDoc Suite) in its own product portfolio.

        RWE uses the smartcard middleware SCinterface from cryptovision

        The challenge for RWE

        RWE is one of the largest energy suppliers in Europe. Among other things, the company operates several nuclear power plants. Given the company’s numerous critical infrastructures, it goes without saying that RWE places high demands on IT security.

        In order to meet the statutory requirements, the company uses digital signatures based on smart cards to secure workflows and certain processes.

         

        Our solution for RWE

        RWE uses the smartcard middleware SCinterface from cryptovision to address the used smartcards. In addition, this solution is also used for authentication on the PC. After introduction, digital signatures were introduced for further processes.

          The TU Dortmund uses our middleware for the UniCard 2.0

          The challenge for TU Dortmund

          With almost 35,000 students, Dortmund Technical University (TU) is one of the 20 largest universities in Germany. Students at this university use the UniCard 2.0 as their student identity card, a smartcard issued in the corporate design of the University Alliance Ruhr (consisting of Ruhr University Bochum, TU Dortmund and University Duisburg-Essen).

          This card is also recognised outside the university, for example when it comes to reduced admission prices. In addition, the UniCard 2.0 provides security for IT use.

          With the certificates stored on it, it is possible to sign and encrypt e-mails. Students can also use the card to register at various TU Dortmund services. The UniCard 2.0 also makes cashless payment possible at various locations on campus and outside.

           

          Our solution for TU Dortmund

          As UniCard 2.0 the Giro-Go card of the Sparkasse is used. The TU Dortmund uses the smartcard middleware SCinterface from cryptovision for the UniCard 2.0. Students can download it free of charge from a Uni server and install it on their private PC. By an extension it is possible to use digital certificates of the DFN-PKI with it. This extension is the result of a close cooperation between Sparkassenverlag (manufacturer of the Giro-Go cards) and cryptovision (manufacturer of the middleware).
