Secure data exchange for information classified as VS-NfD & NATO-/EU-restricted

The challenge

Numerous Eviden Digital Identity customers process information classified as VS-NfD (Classified Information – For Official Use Only) or NATO-/EU-restricted. When stored as files or sent by email, this information must be reliably protected. Many companies and public authorities are required to comply with the regulations set out in the General Administrative Provisions for the Material Protection of Classified Information (VSA) and the Manual on the Safeguarding of Classified Information (Geheimschutzhandbuch).

 

Our solution

Many companies and government agencies use Eviden GreenShield File to meet the requirements described above. This tried-and-tested solution enables classified information to be handled digitally and without media discontinuity – without compromising security, compliance, or user-friendliness. GreenShield File encrypts VS-NfD-classified files in accordance with requirements – using X.509 certificates, OpenPGP keyrings, or ad hoc passwords. Since recipient groups are supported, recurring encryption processes with fixed communication partners run more efficiently. All this is done on the basis of open standards and current cryptography.

Secure emails for the BMFTR

The challenge for the BMFTR

The German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Aerospace (BMFTR) 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 BMFTR

The BMFTR 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 BMFTR’s VS requirements. The digital certificates for VS-compliant communication are provided fully automatically by a sub-CA of the administrative PKI.

cryptovision delivers encryption with military security

The challenge for the Bundeswehr

The Bundeswehr is Germany’s largest IBM Notes user. Microsoft Outlook is also used by the German armed forces. It goes without saying that e-mail encryption is indispensable for an army. However, the native encryption functions of Notes and Outlook neither have the necessary security evaluations nor do they offer all the functions required for large user groups. The Bundeswehr therefore had to look for a better e-mail encryption solution.

 

Our solution for the Bundeswehr

Although there are many e-mail encryption solutions on the market, cryptovision’s s/mail proved to be the only one that met the high requirements of the German Armed Forces. Unlike some other email encryption products, s/mail is client-based and offers end-to-end security. In addition, s/mail is available for both Notes and Outlook, which was an important criterion for the Bundeswehr.

It also offers a number of practical functions that are particularly interesting for large user groups. Above all, s/mail offers the highest security level of all currently available e-mail encryption solutions. It has a VS-NfD, “NATO Restricted” and “EU Restricted” approval.

There is no other e-mail crypto product with comparable certifications on the market. In a process lasting several years, the Bundeswehr evaluated s/mail. For cryptovision, the feedback from the Bundeswehr was valuable suggestions for improving and expanding the program. In 2007, the Bundeswehr acquired an s/mail corporate license.
