Dear reader,   This email is to update you on cryptovision in regards of products, events, partnerships, workshops and trainings and of course new customers.   Kind regards,   Your cryptovision Team Customers Signal Iduna rolls out sc/interface for Thin Clients The German insurance company, SIGNAL Iduna, is a company with high security requirements. For this reason, Signal Iduna is implementing cryptovision's smart card middleware, sc/interface, for protecting their thin clients. sc/interface is one of the most advanced solutions for using smart cards in a virtual desktop infrastructure with support for several thin client vendor hardware. Instead of equipping their employees with PCs, Signal Iduna has chosen to work with IGEL thin clients. Thin clients are much leaner and cheaper than PCs, but they also make interesting targets for hackers. Therefore, protection of thin client to server communication is highly important. In particular, authentication should rely on a secure solution second factor, like smart cards. IGEL thin clients support smart cards via the Linux version of cryptovision's sc/interface. SIGNAL Iduna chose to use this solution in order to fulfill their high security requirements. Thus, sc/interface has become a major building block in SIGNAL Iduna's security strategy. Products sc/interface Goes PIV cryptovision's smart card middleware sc/interface will soon be released in a PIV edition. A Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card is a United States federal identity smart card that contains the necessary data for the cardholder to be granted access to federal facilities and information systems. By supporting the latest PIV and PIV-Interoperable versions cryptovision's sc/interface will be even more attractive for the US market, where this product is already used by a number of customers.

General Yahoo Helped US Authorities to Scan its Emails In response to a government request, Yahoo built an email surveillance system. This system scanned all emails arriving at Yahoo for a specific character string. The scan was not restrained to a specific account or set of accounts. Custom software had to be built to process the vast amount of data. However, the scan did not affect mails encrypted with a modern mail crypto software, like cryptovision's s/mail. It is generally agreed that even Yahoo or a government organisation, like the NSA, can't break such an encryption. Not compromising crypto security has always been a part of cryptovision's business strategy.
