IDEMIA ramps up collaboration with the CEA to secure people’s online transactions
Augmented Identity world no. 1 IDEMIA today announced it has signed a collaboration agreement with French state-owned research organization CEA, with a view to jointly carrying out R&D that will create and develop new solutions to secure and quicken people’s online transactions.
Posted on 01.13.22
There are countless identity protection challenges including how to protect private data, secure diverse payment methods, tackle large-scale identity theft and piracy, safeguard confidentiality for top-class service quality and ensure approved people can quickly enter secured areas. In an ever more online world, advanced digital solutions that bring about trustworthy environments are sorely needed.
This latest agreement builds on previous joint scientific research projects with CEA and ushers in a framework for IDEMIA and CEA to work together in the future on fields like private data protection, cyber security and AI.
This agreement will build momentum to make sure best-in-class innovations such as semantic video content analysis, deep learning, machine learning and private data-protecting cryptographic protocols, are totally secure and error free.
The fact that IDEMIA’s and CEA’s R&D activities are closely aligned means that IDEMIA’s research and innovations center, among France’s biggest in terms of patents and business partnerships, and CEA’s experts can seamlessly team up together to develop new identity protection systems.
Over the last few years, digital technologies have been increasing their share of the world’s filed patents1. IDEMIA has close to 1,500 active patent families, most of which are directly related to the fields stated above, which places it among France’s biggest innovators.
I’m excited that we and CEA, both big tech research and innovation players, are to join forces to develop secured AI and cryptographics-based identity systems for crossing borders, access control and more, that car manufacturers, other businesses and governments will use, while guaranteeing private data privacy at all times.
IDEMIA Chief Technical Officer Jean-Christophe Fondeur
Digital is all about businesses sharpening their competitive edge, protecting country borders or everyone boosting their social life. We at CEA play an important national role throughout the value chain in that we harness several key technologies that we pass on to businesses. Our latest collaboration with IDEMIA, a leading tech security, AI and privacy provider, means we can step up our support for French innovation so that French business stays at the heart of the world’s digital progress.
