EDF experiments certifying their press releases using the KeeeX technology

by | Dec 19, 2017 | News

The “Fake News” phenomenon propagates and challenges trust in information. The problem has reached such a level that the European Commission has launched a public consultation this November. Searching for ways to tackle this, EDF has initiated the experimental certification of all their Press Releases using the KeeeX technology.

Starting from November the 15th 2017, these documents are equipped with a unique set of digital signatures allowing for proving the file integrity, the author’s identity, and a publishing date. The recipients may thus verify that these PRs indeed stem from EDF by just using the service at http://medias.edf.com and a simple drag.

KeeeX is proud to collaborate with EDF on this pioneering project. This experimentation combines two technologies that address digital trust :

  •  the KeeeX technology lets any file be secured and valued by seamlessly injecting proofs of integrity, authorship, legal timestamps, tags, chaining to other files… Builtin file trust !
  •   the Blockchain technology allows for warranting the existence of a file at a given date. The blockchain can be perceived as an unforgeable replicated registry that can be used to record forever the fingerprints of files

Laurent Henocque, owner and CEO of KeeeX : « We are proud and happy with this trial by EDF to demonstrates the huge potential of our technology. Fake news, fake documents, data leakage, users have an ever weaker trust in the digital. KeeeX was created to fight this situation. Our offer allows for injecting trust within files and make digital signature available to everybody. ! ».

Karl Minvielle, Responsable Sécurité SI & Patrimoine EDF – DSP : « We were willing to experiment the certification of our Press Releases together with a blockchain anchoring. KeeeX was the only startup to offer a solution that was “off the shelf”, mature, fully operational and ready to deploy without intervention of our IT department. In tight and positive relationship with KeeeX, we could put KeeeX PR in production for our use case in a snap. Considering the fast acceptance of KeeeX by our users and the yet unexplored potential, I anticipate a bright future for this solution within EDF. »

The KeeeX Blockchain at the service of the art

by | Oct 26, 2017 | News, Non classé, What KeeeX is For

Since October 17, the Blockchain Patrimonia app by Monuma is available in the stores!

This app uses the KeeeX technology to certify proofs of state of pieces of art and of rooms containing such. It also protects the expert reports and appraisals.

With Blockchain Patrimonia, you can appraise the value and authenticity of your works of art and furniture but also value the entire property estate heritage of your home. The pictures taken by Blockchain Patrimonia are sent automatically by the app to the expert upon request.

Blockchain Patrimonia allows you to have a blockchain art expert in your pocket in real time 24/24 7/7

Should you wish to verify them independently from the app or transfer them, it suffices to share them by email or a cloud service and verify them at https://services.keeex.me/verify or better using our ChatOps app. There you will find all the necessary information: author, geolocation, timestamp …

Make a statement, authenticate, geolocate and timestamp your photographic proofs has never been so simple than using the outstanding KeeeX blockchain technology.

How can KeeeX simplify your GDPR compliance ?

How can KeeeX simplify your GDPR compliance ?

by | Oct 18, 2017 | HowTo, Help, News, Non classé, What KeeeX is For

It is difficult to get a clear view about the new European General Data Protection Regulation. Below is a summary of essential information to understand to enter your GDPR compliance process, followed by details on how KeeeX can make it ultra simple.

HOW DOES KEEEX ADDRESS THESE ISSUES?

Using the KeeeX technology, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) can easily:

•respond to audit requests concerning personal data processing and location.

•respond to personal data recovery, transfer and destruction requests in a timely manner.

•prevent and detect data violations, including on the dark web.

The informed consent of the user can be collected with unprecedented levels of quality: a user’s electronic signature applies to exact and easily verifiable documents, and produces blockchain traceable standalone proof records.

The identity of a user is self-sovereign. Her interaction with the service requires only the strict necessary elements, and may even remain pseudonymous (health data).

Respect for privacy and industrial property is ultimate: processing is made locally and shares are end to end encrypted.

01. Proof of Consent

What is this? Consent is an active and explicit  user process that must be free, specific, and informed. In an online form, it can materialize, for example, by a checkbox, unchecked by default.

KeeeX Solution : KeeeX embeds within every  file a unique and humanized identifier that can easily and freely be verified without trusted tier. Consent now applies to exact and guaranteed documents.  This requires KeeeX Core, KeeeX ChatOps or our Proof of Consent module

 

02. Data Location

What is this? In order to return data to a user as quickly as possible, companies must know the exact location of personal data at any time.

KeeeX Solution : KeeeX embeds unique identifiers and  tags inside files to easily locate the data related to your customer, even in deep company filesystems or application silos, ultimately by using low level system commands. This is available using KeeeX Core, KeeeX ChatOps or KaaaS

03. Pseudonymization

What is this? Pseudonymization helps telling apart personal data from other irrelevant information. Pseudonymization generates an identification key that allows to establish the link between various personal information sources.

KeeeX Solution : The use of blockchain identities allows for total user control over their identities used in connection with web services or portals: Requires KeeeX Identities, Blockchain anchors and Timestamps

04. Data Portability

What is this? Users have the right to claim all the personal data they have provided to a service, in a structured format, preferably user machine-readable. They also have the right to transmit this data to another processing manage.

KeeeX Solution : KeeeX embeds within every file unique identifiers that make their location a snap. All our apps also fully leave data on user’s side, which renders the requirement satisfied by default.

05. Privacy by design 

What is this? Data protection requirements must be taken into account by organizations as early as since the design stage of their products, services and systems.

KeeeX Solution : All KeeeX solutions leave data on user’s side. When data transfer is involved, as in KeeeX ChatOps for instance, it is performed using state of the art end to end encryption. Data is shared using peer to peer zero knowledge procedures.

06. Accountability 

What is this ? Accountability is the obligation made for companies to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the treatment of personal data is performed under the Regulation, and be able to demonstrate.

KeeeX Solution : All KeeeX solutions embed within each file regardless of their format a unique identifier so that data can be traced on premises without third parties. Proof of deletion for instance is straightforward to demonstrate.
