The Innovative SME seal is a recognition granted by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) to companies with an innovative profile and a proven capacity to successfully carry out R&D projects. This seal is awarded as a public recognition in order to make a positive discrimination on which to establish a public policy to help their growth and sustainability.

R&D projects in which Sofistic has recently participated:

PaaS orientado a desarrolladores de modelos de Virtualización de Escritorios (VDI) basados en terminal móvil

PaaS oriented to developers of Desktop Virtualization (VDI) models based on mobile terminal.

The objective of the project is to develop a PaaS that allows IT developers, MSPs or operators to develop solutions based on DaaS or onpremise VDI models based on mobile terminal as the only access device, implementing all the necessary infrastructure and a series of horizontal modules (data persistence, authentication, billing, provisioning, etc.). This project is part of the Digital Economy and Society Strategic Action (AEESD), within the Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation Plan 2013-2016.

Plataforma Segura de Interconexión y Roaming entre Redes Heterogéneas

Secure Platform for Interconnection and Roaming between Heterogeneous Networks

The goal of the project is to develop an automated system that allows connection, internet access or VoIP calls from smartphones to available WiFi networks without the need for user intervention or password entry. This is a project belonging to the framework of the Strategic Action for Digital Economy and Society (AEESD), within the Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation Plan 2013-2016.

Sofistic Web Security Seal

Own project. The objective of the project is the development and commercialization of a security seal focused on the auditing of Web sites that makes up for the deficiencies of the existing seals, implementing new technologies and functionalities in a way that makes possible the detection and prevention of new vulnerabilities in an automated way.

Clauer Project

The Clauer project is implemented as a way to use electronic signatures. This project is a software that, after being installed, allows converting a USB disk or a CDROM into a mechanism for authentication and/or electronic signature.

Implantations:

CatCert: Agència Catalana de Certificació (http://www.catcert.cat)
Maintenance and implementation of new functionalities of a cryptographic system of management and authentication of digital certificates from a USB memory device, which has its origins in the clauer project of the Universitat Jaume I.

ACCV: Autoridad de Certificación de la Comunidad Valenciana (http://www.accv.es)
Customization of the clauer project of the Universitat Jaume I for the management and authentication of digital certificates from a graphical interface. Currently we are the technical support, in which we perform maintenance tasks and implementation of new features of the product.

UJI: Universitat Jaume (http://www.uji.es)
Development and subsequent maintenance of the electronic signature software developed in Java, CryptoApplet. Enhancements of this software to expand its functionalities with the new formats.

e-tugra: Türkiye’nin Elektronik İmzası (autoridad de certificación turca)
Electronic signature project consisting of the customization and adaptation of a GPL applet (CryptoApplet) to its use cases. It is the applet officially used by the Turkish Certification Agency.

Ajuntament de benicàssim (https://wifi.benicassim.es)
Contract for electronic contracting services for the municipal WIFI, for multiple browsers, operating systems, Certification Authorities and certificate storage devices (DNIe, Clauer, Clau-ACCV, IDCat, …).

UCLM: Universidad de Castilla la Mancha (http://www.uclm.es)
Support and customization of the “Clauer” cryptographic certificate storage device.

Universidad de Sofia, Bulgaria (http://www.uni-sofia.bg)
Support, translation, adaptation to its CA’s and parameterization of the “Clauer” cryptographic certificate storage device.

RFID technology

Fira Barcelona (http://www.firabarcelona.com)
Developments around a system of identification and synchronization of contacts of the Fira de Barcelona, where various functionalities were incorporated around RFID technologies, and drivers were developed for the use of RFID devices required by the project. Implementation and use in the fair halls for several years.

Massive testing of electronic DNI in several applets

WiseKey (http://www.wisekey.com)
Massive testing of electronic DNI in several signature applets developed by this company, considered a leader in the digital identity market in Europe. One of the projects required testing for the applet currently used by the Basque certification authority Izempe. The rest of the projects, we do not know where they are currently used, but it was a project of great relevance in the use of the DNIe.
