Welcome to our first blog post in the series on elliptic curve cryptography. With the following posts, you will get an overview of the world of elliptic curves, starting with a brief history and some thoughts on what the future holds. Without further ado, let us begin.
Cybernetica’s Data Exchange Technologies team is glad to announce the next version of our main product: UXP Core. UXP Core 1.11 is mainly a maintenance release with no major changes to the architecture. This blog post outlines the major changes introduced with this release.
For digital societies to function, personal identifiers are useful, if not unavoidable. Quite an array of public services rests on the premise of identitfication and authentication of the citizens – the quality of that process determines the quality of the services, in many cases. According to the World Atlas, there are currently 195 countries in the World. According to the data we have collected from the official sources and related Wikipedia articles, half of the countries have already implemented a kind of unique identifier for their citizens, residents, visitors or (why not the) e-residents. The names for the identifiers vary – depending on the country this attribute can be called Personal Identification Number or Citizen Number or Resident Registration Number or just Taxation ID. What will follow, is a short overview of the essence of personal identifiers and also the history of introducing these.

Continuing with our internship stories, this week we’ll take a look at the position of Software Architect through the eyes of Sergei, who went through the internship a few years ago.
We’ll keep on sharing the internship stories. This week, we had a great conversation with our former intern Aksel, who is working at Cybernetica full-time now. He told us about his internship experience as an Analyst.
The season of internship is about to start, and many students are looking for future career opportunities. It’s very important to us, at Cybernetica, to get to know our potential team members.
To shed light on our interns’ experience, and give some insight into, what it’s like to go through internship at Cybernetica, we put together a blog series. In this post, we’ll focus on the position of Software Tester. We will talk to our interns, and full-time employees now, Evelin and Siim, who were so kind to share their stories. So, let us guide you through their expectations, thoughts, and results from the internship.
The Estonian data exchange system, called X-Road, helped Estonia save 1407 years of working time last year alone. This is up from 804 years in 2017 and Cybernetica, the European cyber security company behind the solution, is helping countries across the globe achieve the same.
Deploying secure multiparty computation techniques is seldom a straightforward replacement of how things are done at the moment and enable collaborations considered impossible so far. It is a complex process as privacy requirements, and technological solutions are deeply interleaved. Hence, we need tools to weigh the options and discuss changes in a process in an easily understandable manner.
