Hardware & Software Evaluation

Hardware & Software Evaluation

Whether a smartphone, credit card, new identity card or health card is involved: at its heart is an integrated chip or security module with all relevant data, such as the identity of the owner, his or her fingerprints or PIN code.

The IT security experts from TÜVIT check whether these security modules are protected against being read out and being manipulated. Software evaluation is also one of our core competencies. Whether hardware or software, we evaluate according to Common Criteria, the international standard for IT security.

TÜVIT is one of the world's leading testing services providers for Common Criteria. In addition, we are recognized as an evaluation body for Technical Guidelines by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). For example, our IT security experts participated in the development of the Technical Guideline TR-03109 for the Smart Meter Gateway.
