. His work focused on consulting on security and new technologies. Moreira was named Man of the Year in 2007 by the Swiss business magazine, AGEFI. WISeKey has been analyzing the issues surrounding security for many years. In its first years, WISeKey globally launched and operated Root Certification Authority services. WISeKey took a special interest in contributing to e-Government solutions, such as the electronic voting or e-voting
system implemented in the Canton of Geneva
, Switzerland, the Citizen Service Platform implemented for the government of Biscay, Spain, and current initiatives to help governments establish digital ID programs. In the June 2011 issue of Bilan, Carlos Moreira was named one of the 300 most influential persons in Switzerland in the pharma and technologies sectors.
s (PKIs) is an arrangement that binds public cryptographic keys with respective user identities by means of a certificate authority
(CA). WISeKey uses distributed root-based PKI and Trusted Electronic Identification (“eID”) technologies to provide identification, authentication, and encryption services through the use of digital certificates
.
PKI certificates are the commonly accepted method for authenticating and protecting valuable transactions, beginning with their fairly transparent use in enabling secure sockets layer (SSL) web sites which allow you to trust the site you are using with personal and confidential data, without any risk of leaks. Certificates are also supported in all major web browsers allowing easy client authentication. The same is true for secure devices such as smart card
s and USB tokens.
This approach also allows WISeKey to provide companies with the flexibility and scalability they need to satisfy their own requirements. Companies can choose to deploy a framework hosted entirely within their own facility, or partner with WISeKey to implement a managed service hosted at WISeKey’s secure data centre. WISeKey can provide certification services to a small company as well as a national identity system, with in-house or managed modes of deployment.
Individuals can use the trusted electronic Identity (eID) in their business activities as well as their personal transactions. A trusted eID can be used on any secure storage device that will be accepted across the Internet for secure communications and transactions.
allowing digital signing and time-stamping of documents and archiving that follows complete legal and audit compliance.
WISeKey develops secure transactional solutions to meet specific legal requirements of entities around the world, offering operations with total security, reduced risk, and legally binding audit trails.
In order to operate in the market of digital identities, a high level of trust needs to be built up. WISeKey leverages its unique position as a Swiss company with a global reach. WISeKey has developed a novel institutional and trust management framework that enables entities using it to convey trust through the segregation of ownership of components of the technological infrastructure, intellectual property rights, and policy creation authority among entities that are, by law, structured differently and in a manner that reinforces the management of trust. Swiss neutrality and privacy laws enable the company to operate without geopolitical or governmental constraints.
As part of its relationship with the OISTE Foundation, WISeKey is bound to promote the security of electronic communications worldwide and ensure compliance with essential rights related to information protection online such as privacy laws. It is from this trust model that the WISeKey initiative “The Right to Disappear” evolved: the company is becoming a leading advocate to protect individual privacy rights online while enabling people to maximize the use of the Internet.

.
WISeKey root systems backed by OISTE are created and maintained in secure military bunkers under the Swiss Alps
and operated by the Swiss Army, recognized as one of the most secure areas in the world today. Because of Swiss confidentiality laws, no private or government body can force the root key to be divulged. This guarantees that all information and data encrypted through OISTE/WISeKey certificates will remain secure. This approach is unique as no other infrastructure of its kind exists in such a high security environment, and the level of neutrality and protection afforded by stringent Swiss confidentiality and security laws is second to none.

Carlos Moreira has been a strong advocate for the protection of consumer data being compiled on a daily basis by companies and social networks. No regulations are in place to police how this data is used, or even to define standards around the security around the storage of this data. This compiled data is personally identifiable information
(PII) that can be used to identify or trace a unique individual, or make that person vulnerable to hacking. It is WISeKey’s philosophy that any agency collecting PII has the responsibility to keep it secure and use it only in a responsible, transparent manner, of which the consumer is advised in advance and has the option to opt-out.
The system can provide assistance to the police and customs officials. In addition to offering personalized solutions for digitally identifying authentic brand items, WISeAuthentic also provides direct sales information to the manufacturer and allows control over the grey market.
watch company announced it would be using WISeAuthentic smart card system to identify its watches electronically. In addition to certifying the authenticity of the watch, consumers will be able to connect to a privileged space on the Hublot website.
"In the watch industry we are seeing a significant increase in counterfeit goods," said Jean-Claude Biver
, CEO of Hublot. "It was imperative for us as a company to find a way to not only protect our watches but also those who were purchasing them. WISekey has a strong track record in security and authentication and when looking for a partner to help us in the fight against counterfeiting we knew WISekey was the right choice for us."

WISeKey developed state-of-the-art digital security systems to protect Alinghi’s operations, brand, and sailing technology during the race, an event with a huge global following, which befits its status as one of the world’s oldest sporting events>
The range of services WISeKey provides Alinghi includes securing and hosting Alinghi public and confidential websites, creating and distributing biometric-protected electronic tokens to privileged fans and staff, and creating digital signature certificates to eliminate environmental waste for the sailing syndicate’s transactions and facilities during America’s Cup. WISeKey will also provide secure accreditation devices for all Alinghi facilities, including electronic identity credentials and USB data storage security tokens.
In The Right to Disappear”, Carlos Moreira discusses the vision for WISeID to empower individuals to maintain control of their identities and PII even as they make transactions on the Internet and participate in social networks. The idea is that WISeID can offer encrypted storage of all the personal information that one distributes across the Internet, but because it is encrypted, the individual can maintain control and decide to revoke access to this information at any time. This will be a significant advancement in consumer rights on the Internet as the standard today is that by participating on such websites, a consumer hands-over ownership of this information to the web site on which it is entered. On 19 April 2011, Carlos Moreira discussed this issue on CNBC
during an interview with anchor Simon Hobbs.
WISeKey was invited to attend the recent e-G8 Forum by invitation of President Nicolas Sarkozy. The objective of the forum was to focus on the critical importance of the digital ecosystem to global economic growth. WISeKey's was among the few defenders of personal privacy protection and the need to regulate the way social networks collect and protect data, pointing to the examples of recent identity theft in prominent consumer brands that underscore the hazards of personal data exposure.

and WISeKey. This public-private sector partnership developed a solution compatible with the Swiss voting habits and legal constraints. WISeKey played a crucial role in security of the e-voting system to guarantee the secrecy of voting and to make sure that votes are not intercepted, modified, nor diverted, and to ensure that many other conditions of secrecy were fulfilled. The success of the e-voting project in Geneva, prompted the Swiss Federal Government to continue this experiment at the federal level.
