Current release

Decryptiecomponent – 4th release December-2020

  • Full support for decryption of Encypted Pseudonyms (EP) and Direct Encrypted Pseudonyms (DEP) based on the old closing key
    • The closingkey of your choice (by the DV) can now be used over various SchemeKeySetVersions.
      This simplifies management for DVs that recognize their customers based on pseudonyms (and associated closing key).
      A change of the SchemeKeySetVersion no longer requires a new closing key.
