International preservation of evidentiary value with the SecDocs solution
Baar, April 09, 2010 â Fujitsu and OpenLimit have now taken steps for the
international deployment of their joint solution for the trustworthy,
long-term archiving of data, SecDocs. Fujitsu had already received the
certificate ID for certification by the German Federal Office for
Information Security (BSI) in time for CeBIT 2010. This makes SecDocs the
first solution to be evaluated by the BSI with regard to the key underlying
technologies for the preservation of evidentiary value for the long-term
archiving of data. As a result, it will be the first solution world-wide to
be awarded certification in line with the 'Common Criteria EAL4+'
international security criteria based on the ArchiSafe protection profile
and the Technical Guideline 03125. As the certificate is up to now globally
unique, it is also recognized and highly rated abroad. SecDocs is therefore
ready for deployment outside of the EU, as well as in Asian countries or
the USA.
Evaluation in practice
Initial tests of the basic technology developed by Fujitsu and OpenLimit
for the internationally trustworthy, long-term storage and archiving of
data will be conducted by premium customers in the second half of 2010.
Among them is the Thüringen (Specialised) Judiciary, which will be
deploying SecDocs on a test basis from the 3rd quarter of 2010.
Norbert Naumann, head of the 'Modernisation of the Judiciary, Information
Technology, EDP Co-ordination, Electronic Legal Communication,
Just-in-form, Quality Management, Controlling' project group at the
Thüringen Ministry of Justice explains: 'Digital long-term archiving is a
huge challenge for the judiciary. For this reason, we are particularly
delighted that an internationally acknowledged technology such as SecDocs
can be tested at Thüringen's (Specialised) Judiciary.'
â
SecDocs - the solution
SecDocs is a service-oriented archiving solution for preserving the
evidentiary value of documents, using time stamps and electronic signatures
for the archiving process. The solution is the result of intensive
collaboration between Fujitsu, OpenLimit and NetApp, and combines their
know-how in the respective areas of expertise. With its multi-layer,
modular design, it features multi-organization capability, and was
developed for cross-platform use with the most commonly deployed operating
systems und middleware solutions. A host of interfaces for integration in
various storage systems and trust centers allows for flexible deployment of
the solution by its operators.
Sven Mulder, Senior Director for Public Contractors at Fujitsu Technology
Solutions: 'The application for certification prior to CeBIT and the
international deployment capability add momentum to our interest in
trustworthy long-term archiving. We assume that the initial tests,
including those at international level, will demonstrate the significance
of trustworthy long-term archiving, and will show how companies and
institutions can master this challenge with SecDocs.'
Marc J. Gurov, CEO of OpenLimit AG is convinced: 'In particular, it was the
outstanding quality of the co-operation between the two companies which
paved the way for a globally unique product. In a word, OpenLimit is proud
of its collaboration with its global partner, Fujitsu.'
