During the CeBIT 2016 exhibition the winner of the MAPPING Privacy via IT Security App Competition was announced. The winning app is named Omnishare.
How secure is your data in the cloud? To mitigate the risks of a cloud data breach or insider threat, various solutions encrypt data on-device before uploading it. But then how do you decrypt this data on a different device or share it with a friend? Deriving keys from the user's password is insecure. OmniShare solves this problem by combining strong client-side encryption with secure yet intuitive key distribution mechanisms. Secure cloud storage just became usable!
The team developing OmniShare received a 20,000 EUR prize for the further development and deployment of their App. All three winners were given the opportunity to present their App and their organisations’ activities throughout the week at their own Start-up Workstation at CeBIT 2016.
