Thanks to Logos’ rich experience in the field of PKI and smartcards, gained in numerous successful implementations of Digital Signature solutions in Croatian banking industry, PKI VAS enables smooth and easy implementation of Digital Signatures, based on smartcards and standard X509 certificates. Extensive set of PKI VAS’ modules and APIs provides high security for both on-line and off-line e-banking transactions and enables tight integration with business and IT environments. Besides the delivery of PKI VAS solution, the contract covers delivery of smartcards and readers, and all services needed for the successful implementation of Digital Signatures, including the modifications in order to meet the specific customer’s requirements. The project is scheduled to start in January 2009, and the full production is planned in the second half of Q2 2009.

“During our contacts with Bank Millennium S.A., we had several presentations and workshops, not only presenting our solution, but sharing our experiences in regard to issues and challenges of PKI/smartcard based Digital Signature implementation in e-banking services, from user registration to transaction authentication”, says Draћen Pehar, Logos’ CEO. “This project is of the highest importance for Logos, because it represents a great reference, the first reference out of our region, and we believe that it will help us not only to develop future business with Millennium Group, but acquire new customers in Poland and CEE region”.

“Being one of the leading banks in Poland, Bank Millennium S.A. is providing its Clients with wide range of products and services, including e-banking service. Taking into consideration ever growing number of our corporate Clients that subscribe to our e-banking service, and growing number of transactions and volumes daily processed, it’s clear that e-banking service is more and more becoming the “service of choice” for our Clients. Our goal is not only to provide the full-featured e-banking service, but to enable our Clients to transact with the bank over the Internet in the most secure way as well”, says Ricardo Campos, Director of Electronic Banking Department, Bank Millennium S.A. “After quite demanding process, we have decided to award the project of smartcard and PKI based Digital Signature implementation to Logos d.o.o. from Croatia, the member of Asseco Group. Besides the important references in this field, Logos proved not only to have the product that meets our requirements, but to have deep understanding of business and IT processes needed for the successful delivery of the project”.
