Riscure is an international and independent security test laboratory founded in 2001 by Marc Witteman. Riscure is specialized in evaluating and testing the security of smart cards and embedded devices that are designed to operate securely in any environment and under all circumstances. Besides offering these services, Riscure develops and maintains security test tools for organizations and companies that want to perform in-house security testing, such as side channel analysis or Java Card security testing.
Smart cards have been the secure container of choice for the past ten years. Nowadays, important security functions have also moved into embedded devices such as pay TV decoders, mobile phones and smart meters. As with smart card technology, a thorough security evaluation from an attacker’s perspective has become very relevant for these embedded devices.
When evaluating and testing a product our mind is set at testing to challenge rather than test to test. Our reports detail the work effort and cost of an attack as well as the security risk profile of the product under test.
Before testing a product, we spend considerable time with the customer to identify and understand the security requirements of the product and its associated business risk. These drive the selection of attack path to be performed in the evaluation.
