OpenLimit Holding AG: Group Interim Report during the first half of 2015 - Seite 3

truedentity®and eID server

truedentity® generates trust and security in electronic identification processes. The product was further developed technically within the context of the development order placed by Fujitsu (FTS) in the third quarter of 2014, the aim being to combine the truedentity® technology with the biometric hand vein scanner PalmSecure(TM) from Fujitsu. Through realization of two-factor authentication, this technical solution offers a high degree of protection against identity fraud and is characterized by a high level of user-friendliness, because it is not necessary to enter a password during authentication. At the same time, the solution saves the identity data locally on smart cards and offers scalable security. In future, this solution will support usage scenarios such as physical access control, logging on to computers, smart devices and networks as well as cashless payment methods. Corresponding showcases were presented at several trade fairs, including CeBIT 2015. The presentations met with great interest from the trade visitors. Along with remuneration for the development work, OpenLimit will also share in future licensing revenues. FTS is planning to market this solution worldwide. With partner Incotex, OpenLimit also exhibited its products and services at the MIPS 2015 fair. Here, PalmSecure(TM) truedentity® was demonstrated to an interested audience from Eastern Europe in particular. In addition to conferences and exhibitions in Japan, participation at MIPS was a first for OpenLimit and underscores the company's increased efforts to break into international markets. In the first quarter of the year, OpenLimit completed on time the development of its own cryptoserver, which is obligatory for the use of an eID server and effectively expands the truedentity® product portfolio. The eID server is a key component for authentication processes using the new ID card in Germany.

Signature technology

In the reporting period, OpenLimit provided support and software maintenance services for the new signature application component (SAC) OpenLimit CC Sign Version 2.8. In addition, the software products based on CC Sign, such as BatchSign (batch signatures), SignatureService (continuous signatures) and VerificationService (continuous signature verification) were adapted to the latest version of the SAC. In this way, the prerequisites that these products support the latest smart cards from the German trust centers as well as the current Windows operating systems were met. The new SAC version is giving revenues in the signature field a modest boost. In the reporting period, OpenLimit was able to position numerous signature products with existing and new customers as well as integrate the signature technologies into third-party products. In this regard, OpenLimit was particularly successful in the vertical markets of financial service providers, healthcare, energy and government. The resulting solutions support businesses and authorities in the application scenarios of e-mail archiving, implementation of the eAkte (electronic filing) requirement, electronic court documents, digitalization processes and electronic invoicing. The solutions developed will to some extent be offered as a service for third parties. The extension of several software maintenance agreements with major customers was also significant.
