Reliable vessel operating data is essential for efficient and economical operation—and must be protected. With our Ship-to-Shore solutions, we offer simple and secure data transmission technologies compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and based on class-approved hardware.
We offer a multi-level security concept that differentiates between identity protection, access protection and integrity protection.
IDENTITY PROTECTION
Each endpoint of the communication is equipped with a private, cryptographic key ex works. Only if a correct key is known, the device is released to send or receive data.
ACCESS PROTECTION
Once it has been ensured that the data originates from a trusted source, the next step is to establish a secure TLS-encrypted connection between the communication partners. This encrypted connection prevents access by third parties.
INTEGRITY PROTECTION
After successful transmission of the data, a further step ensures that the data is intact and matches the data sent by the ship. Cryptographic signatures according to the industry standard RFC 7519 are used for this purpose.
