Extraordinary Hungarian development gaining ground in new areas

As of 2020, REAL security is the distributor of i4p's TRIDENT HSM, offering unique high-level cryptographic security in eight countries of the Adriatic region

Budapest, 27 February 2020 - A distribution agreement has been concluded between i4p informatics ltd. with its seat in Hungary and Slovenia-based REAL security, serving the Adriatic region. REAL security will start distributing i4p's products, including the TRIDENT which offers unparalleled high-level cryptographic security, in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania and Northern Macedonia.

i4p's product range includes a Signature Activation Module (SAM) and a Timestamping Server; however, the company's flagship is the TRIDENT, a general-purpose, flexible HSM. This hardware security module offers advanced cryptographic, security and key management capabilities helping companies to guarantee greater security for their data and meet international standards such as GDPR, eIDAS, PSD2. Its efficiency and reliability are confirmed by the fact that it has attained Common Criteria EAL4+ certification, both as a HSM and as a SAM. As a result it's fully compliant with the regulations of eIDAS and can be used to create qualified electronic signatures and QSEALs.

Moreover, due to its unique Secure Multi-Party Computation capacity, the TRIDENT guarantees a higher level of security than any other physical hardware security module available on the market today. It is able to organize several HSM devices into a distributed cluster and thus manage the cryptographic keys in a decentralized and balanced way. Key data cannot therefore be identified on any of the devices independently, so even in the rare event of a device being compromised, any information obtained is in itself worthless. Thus, it can also provide solutions to customised challenges for organizations that require extremely high-levels of cryptographic security.

"This is a major milestone for us, since through this we have officially embarked upon the path towards our European and indeed global expansion, as our solutions are now available in the Adriatic region. Negotiations are underway to involve other countries and regions with the goal to make this exceptional product available in every European country within the next 2-3 years. We are proud to work with a recognized and experienced distributing partner like REAL security. Their spring RISK conference represents an important opportunity for us to present our solutions to key potential partners and clients in the region and an important step on our way to further expansion, summarized Zsolt Rózsahegyi, CEO of i4p.

"Our top priority goal is to provide the highest quality products and services to our clients, so in accordance with this we are making the TRIDENT available to those of our customers who require extremely high-level security or face unique problems, that are difficult, if at all possible, to solve with existing solutions.", said Matic Knuplež, Regional Director of REAL security.
