GMV integrates its ARKANO and CODELOGIN products with REALSEC’s cryptography technology

12/04/2011



GMV, the Spanish technology group, and Realsec, the Spanish manufacturer of hardware-based cryptography systems, have signed an agreement for allying the latter’s technology with two groundbreaking security products developed by GMV

GMV, a Spanish technology group with over 20 years of experience in developing security products and systems, has signed an agreement with Realsec, the Spanish cryptography systems manufacturing firm. The agreement involves integration of GMV’s inhouse developments Codelogin and Arkano with Realsec’s hardware-based cryptography technology. GMV’s two products have a high component of security-related innovation while Realsec’s technology has been certified at international level (FIPS 140 – Level 3 and Common Criteria EAL 4+).

Codelogin uses the cell phone as secure authentication token for remote access to any computer, preventing the users’ credentials and data from being hijacked by any malware in the computers. Arkano, for its part, is GMV’s solution for encrypting emails and files of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF format. This product represents a revolutionary breakthrough in comparison to similar products on the market in terms of its sheer simplicity. It does not require installation of any specific encrypting software or certificate; users do not have to be registered beforehand and no intermediaries are needed for encryption and decryption; neither is there any call for operators or administrators who might have access to the information.

 

The high innovation content of these products stems from their technological base. In the development of both products GMV has drawn on Identity Based Encryption (IBE), trailblazing technology that requires a Hardware Security Module (HSM), CryptosecLan. This hardware, developed by Realsec, also boasts the highest certification levels, FIPS 140-2 level 3 granted by the NIS, and Common Criteria EAL4+ granted by the Spanish Cryptology Center.

The agreement therefore fuses the technology of two national benchmark manufacturers and places both companies in the international technology vanguard.

After the signing of this agreement, in view of the international scale of both companies, a business plan will be drawn up to cover both the European and Latin-American markets, where Realsec has a strong footing.
