Physical barrier to regaining control of the data of the Observatoire du Monde Cybernétique CEIS DGRIS France – June 2nd 2021
Interview with Jacques Gascuel (co-founder)
Presentation
Jacques Gascuel created the company Freemindtronic in 2010. Previously at the head of a computer company in rural areas, this graduate in electrical engineering and law, specialist in industrial maintenance, measured the impact of computer hacking following the compromise of the systems of one of his breeder customers, which greatly affected the production of the latter. Jacques Gascuel, after the resolution of this incident, turned to cyber safety and security by founding Freemindtronic (“the freedom to create in electronics”). The company, initially based in Comminges, established itself in Andorra from 2016.
Freemindtronic ensures the complete control of its technological innovations – therefore from the design phase to the industrialization of solutions – and thus does not subcontract any stage of the development cycle. Considering the “all digital” as a threat, the company is guided in its activities by two objectives: to put the human at the heart of security and to preserve as much as possible the anonymity of users.
All Freemindtronic solutions have as a common denominator a name starting with “Evi” (from the English word “evidence”) with among others EviKey, EviDisk, EviLock, EviToken and EviCard. Such a choice refers to the legal and material evidence produced by a tamper-proof black box, Jacques Gascuel’s patented invention on the safety of electrical appliances with traceability. The latest “EviCypher” solution, the result of four years of R&D, has been ready since March 2021 and aims to restore users control of their data in general, as well as to fight against cybercrime and corporate espionage in particular.
EviCypher is a contactless end-to-end encryption solution from an NFC device [1] (Near-field communication). It is based on an NFC application and physical device in the form of a card. The latter is capable of managing and storing “complicated” passwords, symmetric encryption algorithms (up to two hundred AES 256 keys) and asymmetric encryption (four RSA 2048 keys or two RSA 4096 keys). This “greentech” card has been designed from sustainable materials (fiberglass without halogen and emitting no toxic gases or hazardous residues), which ensure a service life of more than forty years and operation in extreme environments. Without a battery, it recovers energy via the NFC signal emitted by an NFC terminal (energy harvesting). This device, which is only activated on demand, is by default a passive product called “air gap”, which consists in physically isolating from any network the system to be secured.
The application allows you to configure the encryption methods of the EviCypher card and to associate up to twelve “trust criteria” (including geolocation, password, fingerprint, EAN and QR codes…). The latter, which must be respected by any user wishing to decrypt the message, then make it possible to block any fraudulent access attempts in case of theft of the card among others.
The encryption of a content is thus carried out by passing the EviCypher card at the NFC receiver of a terminal equipped with the application (computer, NFC Android smartphone, etc.). The recipient, upon receipt of the message, must repeat the gesture so that his card proceeds to the decryption. It must be physically located in the predefined geographical area (radius of choice from 1 to 2,500 km²) and validate the confidence criteria established by the issuer. In other words, this system, which is not connected to a server or a database, encrypts content even before it is broadcast online or stored on the servers of a mail. In the latter case, the AES256 and RSA 2048 or 4096 ciphers are robust enough against third-party decryption attempts.
EviCypher wants to be an untraceable solution that preserves the anonymity of its users. Intended at the base for critical state services (government, armies, embassies, etc.) and sensitive companies, the solution was finally declined in a “general public” version, following the recent cyber attacks on hospitals at the beginning of the year. These various intrusions have indeed convinced Freemindtronic to take advantage of the release of its EviCypher tool to raise awareness about the crucial need to protect data.
EviCypher reduces the surface area of exposure to attacks every place and applies to many situations:
To go further, Freemindtronic plans, in addition to creating an extension for applications in order to be more “volatile” vis-à-vis its ad hocapplication, to integrate the management of otherencryption systems. Among them, Open PGP, ECC keys, SSH and AWS. Users will also be able to select the type of encryption based on their usages. To date, the new extension for the Thunderbird solution has been developed to encrypt in AES256 mailboxes using the IMAP protocol.
After recruiting an R&D director, Freemindtronic, which since its creation has relied on a staff of five technical profiles (cybersecurity engineers, electronics, artificial intelligence, embedded systems, forensic expert), is now starting a recruitment phase that confirms its rise in power.
The company has also received several awards thanks to EviCypher. In March 2021, she won the gold medal in category C at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions more info click here. Freemindtronic more recently won three awards last May at the last edition of the Global InfoSec Awards, in the categories “cryptographic security”, “secret management” and “Hardware Password Manager”.

In March 2021, the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions achieved a historic milestone by transitioning to a virtual format, transcending geographical boundaries and bringing together inventors from 25 countries. This global event served as a platform for groundbreaking solutions across various domains. A significant highlight was Andorra’s exceptional performance at the 2021 Geneva Inventions Expo, marking its inaugural appearance in the competition’s 49-year history.
In a momentous turn of events, Jacques Gascuel, a French expatriate in Andorra, clinched the prestigious Gold Medal in the C category at the Exposition Internationale des Inventions de Genève, making history for Andorra.
Gascuel’s invention, the EviCypher HSM, represents a groundbreaking leap in data security and confidentiality. This innovation facilitates secure data exchange while preserving utmost anonymity. At its core lies a state-of-the-art NFC HSM (Near Field Communication Hardware Security Module) enabling the creation, exchange, and secure utilization of encryption keys.
Andorra’s participation in the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions holds immense historical importance, considering it had never taken part in this prestigious event since its inception in 1972. This competition stands as the largest annual gathering dedicated solely to invention, featuring participation from over 45 countries. It enjoys substantial support from the Swiss Federal Government, the State of Geneva, the city of Geneva, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the International Federation of Inventors’ Associations (IFIA).
Invention and innovation are two different but complementary concepts in technology. According to the OECD, innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product or process, a new marketing method, or a new organizational method. Innovation can be of product, process, marketing, or organization. Innovation aims to create added value, meet user needs, or solve social problems. According to WIPO, invention is a technical solution to a technical problem. An invention can be a product or a process and must be new, inventive, and industrially applicable to be patentable. Invention aims to make an original contribution to the state of the art, exploit scientific opportunities, or overcome technical limitations.
Therefore, it is essential to distinguish between invention and innovation. While innovation often refers to the improvement or refinement of existing concepts or products, invention involves the creation of entirely new solutions or technologies. To participate in such a prestigious event as the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, inventors must generally hold a patent or have a revolutionary concept protected by a patent application.

In the Class C category of the 2021 special edition of the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, one invention truly shone. EviCypher, an inventor hailing from the small principality of Andorra, achieved a remarkable feat that garnered the attention of the 82 international experts comprising the jury. These experts represented diverse technical, scientific, industrial, and commercial fields, and they hailed from 25 different countries and regions. The countries and regions included Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Brazil, India, Iran, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand.
The revolutionary invention of EviCypher HSM, known as EviCypher NFC HSM (Near-Field Communication – Hardware Security Module) based on EviCore NFC HSM technology or EviCypher HSM OpenPGP (Hardware Security Module Open Pretty Good Privacy) based on EviCore HSM OpenPGP technology, won the prestigious gold medal for its revolutionary innovation in the field of highly secure authentication. via segmented keys, without the need for a server or database. What sets EviCypher HSM apart is its unique approach, enabling end-to-end anonymized human-to-human interaction.
EviCypher HSM introduced two remarkable technologies: EviCypher HSM and EviCore HSM, both of which garnered international recognition. These implementations are distinguished by the EviCypher NFC HSM technology, which leverages an individual cryptography NFC HSM device based on NFC. This technology offers a secure means to create, exchange, and utilize encryption keys without the requirement for physical contact.
This exceptional accomplishment not only highlights EviCypher’s ingenuity but also underscores the far-reaching impact and global significance of the inventions showcased at the Geneva International Inventions Fair. EviCypher’s success stands as a testament to the innovative spirit that propels inventors from all corners of the world to participate in this prestigious event—a platform where revolutionary concepts come to life.
The 2021 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions also marked a historic moment for Andorra. This tiny European principality made its debut in the competition, a testament to the event’s global appeal. While Andorra is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, it unveiled a new facet—the innovation and creativity of its residents.
Jacques Gascuel, a resident of Andorra, represented his nation on the international stage. His invention, the EviCypher HSM, is a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. It introduced the world to cutting-edge data security and authentication solutions, showcasing the transformative power of invention.
Not only did Jacques Gascuel participate, but he also achieved a milestone by securing the prestigious Gold Medal in the C category. This historic win serves as an inspiration to inventors worldwide, proving that innovation knows no boundaries, and even the smallest nations can make significant contributions to the world of invention.
This brief highlights the historic significance of the Geneva International Inventions Fair 2021, where an inventor from Andorra won a gold medal for his groundbreaking invention, the EviCypher HSM. It also explains the difference between invention and innovation and the importance of celebrating both.
The 2021 fair in Geneva was historic for many reasons. It displayed revolutionary inventions from around the world. It also marked a turning point for the event and for Andorra. PALEXPO SA organized this event. It praised the spirit of invention and innovation. These are two different but complementary concepts in technology.
For the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, this edition was truly unprecedented. It saw the inaugural participation of an inventor from Andorra, a country better known for the beauty of its landscapes than for its inventions. This milestone welcomed a new nation into the global fraternity of inventors, highlighting the universal appeal of invention and innovation. The inclusion of Andorra underlined the event’s commitment to inclusion and the promotion of creativity, regardless of a nation’s size or importance on the world stage.
This technology uses segmented key authentication, a disruptive innovation that redefines data security, access, confidentiality and individual sovereignty. This technique creates, exchanges and uses contactless secrets, using physical trust factors (authorized geographical area, local network BSSID, telephone identifier and/or barcode and/or password or original biometric elements (fingerprint , facial recognition, DNA, etc.). If a segment is not validated, the secret is physically and digitally unusable. Thus, sensitive data (such as personal, financial, medical, professional, etc.) is protected against any unauthorized access, modification, disclosure or destruction. Jacques Gascuel has shown the spirit and power of invention and innovation, as defined by WIPO. His invention is already used in the United States, China , in South Korea, Europe, Japan and Algeria.
This historic achievement sets an inspiring example for inventors around the world. It shows that innovation knows no borders and that even the smallest of nations can have a significant impact on the global stage. The Geneva International Inventions Fair 2021 celebrated not only inventors and their creations, but also the collaborative and inclusive spirit of the inventions community. Innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product or process, a new marketing method or a new organizational method, according to the OECD.
As we reflect on this exceptional event, we are reminded that innovation drives progress and that inventions like the EviCypher HSM are paving the way for a more secure and connected future. It is a testament to the unwavering human spirit and the limitless potential of inventors to shape a better world through their creations. The 2021 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions stands as a shining example of how innovation can transcend boundaries, bringing nations together in celebration of human creativity and ingenuity.
We look forward to future editions of this prestigious event, where inventors from around the world will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible and redefine the future. To participate in this event, inventors must hold a patent or have filed a patent application for a patentable concept. Therefore, it is essential to distinguish between invention and innovation and to celebrate both.
In the end, it’s not just about winning medals; it’s about changing the world, one invention at a time. And in this endeavor, inventors like Jacques Gascuel are leading the way.

How to create a contactless cybersecure computer workstation with Freemindtronic Andorra’s NFC devices.
The risk of contamination from Coronavirus COVID-19 has led to increased use of telework. The pandemic quickly imposed global containment of people. Independents, businesses, associations, administrations and communities have had to do everything possible to create jobs in a mobility environment. Unfortunately, this has not always been possible. It has become vital to preserve at least essential professional activities.
For some, the use of telework may seem temporary. However, the use of this mode of operation could well take hold in the long term, and surely become a norm in the future, beyond the duration of this health crisis.
Businesses will have reorganized around this new mode of operation and the new constraints associated with the limitation of travel.
More than a trend, it is a finding according to the survey conducted by Gartner which indicates that 88% of organizations have encouraged, or obliged, the use of telework. (https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2020-03-19-gartner-hr-survey-reveals-88–of-organizations-have-e)
According to the French Ministry of Labour, more than 4 out of 10 jobs in the private sector are now compatible with telework. According to a survey conducted by Deskeo among 2,915 professionals spread throughout France 62% of respondents will want to do more telework after confinement. (https://www.ledauphine.com/magazine-lifestyle/2020/04/24/les-francais-voudront-faire-plus-de-teletravail-apres-le-confinement).
A lot of organizations that have had to telework are done urgently. Some were put in place “remotely” with confined employees and without control of the security measures to be implemented. They have an obligation to find solutions to adequately protect information systems.
More worryingly, in an emergency, it was not possible for companies to deploy the necessary means and equipment to implement this new mode of operation. In fact, telework is often carried out with the personal equipment of employees with a level of safety not in accordance with professional use. This increases the area of exposure to vulnerability to data security and integrity.
Cyber criminals take advantage of telework vulnerability
Cyber criminals, on the other hand, have properly assessed this situation. They have seen exceptional potential and are taking advantage of this windfall to increase and target their cyberattacks.
A very worrying, dual-effect situation related to the containment and return of people to the company with their data exposed to risks.
@INTERPOL states that “Cybercriminals are attacking the computer networks and systems of individuals, businesses and even global organizations at a time when cyber defences could be reduced as a result of refocusing attention on the health crisis at COVID-19.” (https://www.interpol.int/Crimes/Cybercrime/COVID-19-cyberthreats)
Recommendations from Interpol and ANSSI
Interpol’s first recommendation is to back up all important files and store them independently of your computer system (e.g. in the cloud or on an external disk). Their second recommendation is to always check that you are on a company’s legitimate website before entering login information or sensitive information. When it comes to prevention, Interpol advises updating your passwords and making sure they are strong enough with a mix of capital letters, lower cases, numbers and special characters.
@ANSSI published its Computer Security Recommendations for Telework in Crisis on 23 March 2020. ( (https://www.cybermalveillance.gouv.fr/tous-nos-contenus/actualites/recommandations-securite-informatique-teletravail))
Their first recommendation “Separate professional and personal practices well at the risk of confusing them and generating security errors that could be detrimental to his business.” Second, “Strictly apply the safety instructions of your business.” Other common recommendations follow, such as “Strengthen password security” and “Save your work regularly,” including on media outside your equipment (key or USB drive) that you unplug once you’ve backed up.”
In France, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe called “emphatically” on all French companies to maintain telework as much as possible for their employees.
Minister of Labour @MurielPénicaud recommends the use of telework until the summer
“… 5 million French people are now teleworking, and in the context of progressive deconfining, it is important that they continue to telework…”
Innovative backup solutions on fixed and removable media that self-disconnect
There are two secure contactless products that originally have a physical self-disconnection system from computer systems when backup is made. These are the NFC hardened USB stick EviKey and the Sata III EviDisk SSD disc available in the USB 3.0 external case and the internal 7mm 2.5″ format. Products developed by Andorran Freemindtronic SL.
Check out the demo in the video below the contactless unlocking of an EviDisk built into a company’s KUBB computer Bleujour.
During the Occitanie CyberMatines on LMI TV @lemondeinformatique april 22, 2020, Fullsecure conducted offline protection and physical use demonstrations of sensitive data such as passwords and encryption keys. The backup media in credit card or Tag formats operate without contact with a phone serving as an NFC terminal.
This demo shows an electronic self-connection system to a computer, a motherboard Bios, a Windows session and a VPN.
Retrocompatible solutions for offline encryption of any type of data on computer and phone
Another demo shows how to encrypt any data on computer and smartphone, an operation compatible with all computer systems and messaging services, including SMS.
We are talking about compatible retro solutions that offer the advantage of securing the use of any type of computer hardware, computer, smartphone, software, application while maintaining maximum security of the use of sensitive data, whether personal or professional.
Finally, Fullsecure gives a tip to make a desktop “smart”: Secure the sensitive data of any computer discreetly, discreetly, thanks to its mini devices hardened in Pin’s format.
In addition, data sharing is contactless, reducing the risk of contagion during this period of pandemic due to Covid19. Indeed, it is enough to approach your smartphone to the Fullsecure device to manage and use the data contained in pin’s.
Fullsecure offers a wide range of products to meet data security needs in mobility and/or in the workplace.
