Madrid (ots)

WISeKey ELA, the WISeKey Affiliate for Spain and
Latin America announces today in Madrid a Strategic Partnership with
Microsoft and IT Deusto for the deployment of the CertifyID BlackBox
line of security solutions. This announcement follows WISekey"s 
recent nomination by Microsoft as a global Lead Partner for e-ID
Solutions. Microsoft Spain, WISeKey ELA and and IT Deusto will
jointly develop plans to address specific vertical market segments
with attractive eID solutions.
Both the public sector and the private sector in Spain  and  Latin
America are looking to upgrade their Identity Documents  (from
national ID cards to employee badges) so as to address higher
security requirements to protect and prevent against  identity theft,
online counterfeiting and criminal misuse of information. Microsoft,
WISeKey ELA and IT Deusto enable individuals, organizations and
governments to leverage their current server infrastructure
investment by adding functionalities of secure electronic identities
through the CertifyID infrastructure in a straighgtforward, quick 
and cost effective way.
"Having partnered with Microsoft since 2004 and as an active
member of the Government Leaders Forum, we are very pleased to extend
our cooperation to IT Deusto in Spain. Joining forces with other
European ISV innovators will allow WISeKey ELA to accelerate the rate
of adoption of these new eID solutions and contribute to make our
entreprises more competitive and our societies more advanced"
commented Carlos Moreira, Founder and Chairman of WISeKey.
"This is the right time to address the Spanish market given the
launch of the National eID project. Suppliers like WISeKey can
complement this initiative and build on the wide acceptance of eID
solutions to address the requirements of any kind of user
communities, both in the public sector and especially also in the
enterprise market." commented Victor Canivell, CEO, WISeKey ELA.
Abel Linares, CEO, IT Deusto, said: "The cooperation with WISeKey
reinforces IT-Deusto"s  penetration  in the security space with
possible extension to international markets due the high visibility
of the WISeKey brand."
Héctor Sánchez, Director Corporate Security, Microsoft Spain,
said: "We are fully committed to projects and technologies aimed at
strengthening identity and authentication processes in corporate
environments. WISeKey"s technologies enable and facilitate the use of
Microsoft technologies en these processes with the necessary security
and reliability levels."
Geoffrey Lipman, UNWTO Assistant Secretary-General, said: UNWTO
(United Nations World Tourism Organization) firmly believes in the
need for increased security and decreased hassle for travellers and
have a SAFE (Security And Facilitation Enhancement) strategy to this
end. A central component is the increased use of secure internet and
identity management capabilities valid for tourists, tourism
providers and tourism authorities worldwide.  This is especially
important for developing countries who need to also be provided with
the financing and technology capacity to join in the global network
as partners. UNWTO based in Madrid is working in the framework of its
PPP with Microsoft with WISekey, to explore solutions to this
challenge." (More on the UNWTO PPP at
