Governikus DATA Aeonia

Legally compliant long-term storage and preservation of evidence

✓ Efficient, automated and marketable evidence values
✓ TR-ESOR compliant
✓ Easy to integrate into existing IT infrastructures

Governikus DATA Aeonia enables simple and legally compliant long-term storage and preservation of the evidentiary value of electronic documents and data. Regardless of whether online applications, contracts, written documents or patient data have just been digitized or are already digital: digital documents and data require reliable features to ensure their integrity and authenticity. Electronic signatures and seals ensure this.

Due to legally regulated long retention periods and ever shorter IT innovation cycles, it is important that the evidence generated by the signatures and seals is permanently preserved. This can be done manually or organizationally by various means, but this is very time-consuming, personnel-intensive and expensive.

DATA Aeonia offers an efficient, automated and marketable solution for generating TR-ESOR-compliant evidence values. For an initial overview, we have a start configuration with which DATA Aeonia can be put into operation within 30 minutes for test and development purposes (including cryptographic key material for client authentication of the specialist application).

3 good reasons for Governikus DATA Aeonia

Legal certainty

Governikus DATA Aeonia ensures highest court usability and international acceptance.

Application IT Planning Council

Modules are developed in accordance with the TR-ESOR reference architecture at Anwendung Governikus .

Specified standards

Open standards enable flexible and easy integration into IT infrastructures.

The challenge of legally compliant storage of electronic documents

A TR-ESOR solution is relevant for all electronic data. Governikus DATA Aeonia guarantees the preservation of evidence for both documents/data originally generated and transmitted electronically and for scanned documents. In order to be able to actually destroy paper-based documents after scanning, the chain of evidence from scanning to storage must be seamless (TR-RESISCAN of the BSI).

Suitable security measures can only be taken by using PKI-based cryptography methods and time-stamp services. Doing this manually involves considerable effort and may not ensure legal certainty.

Technical Guideline 03125 (TR-ESOR) from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) provides the solution. A TR-ESOR-compliant product architecture makes it possible to generate evidence values via hash trees and time stamps. With Governikus DATA Aeonia, we have developed a product that is based on the BSI's reference architecture. By integrating it into your existing system landscape, your data and evidence values are preserved in the long term - regardless of data carriers and systems. This offers you investment and legal security.

With DATA Aeonia, we have also ensured that it can be easily integrated into existing IT infrastructures: it has numerous standardized interfaces to widespread eFile and DMS systems, it supports various storage technologies for filing, and has a system-independent front end (search and display service).

Subsequent use of the IT Planning Council's Anwendung Governikus

We have taken another advantage into account when designing DATA Aeonia: We use standard components from Anwendung Governikus, which we continuously maintain and develop as a product of the IT Planning Council on behalf of the (German) Federal Government and the federal states. This is also efficient and reliable for you. In concrete terms, this means that two of the three TR-ESOR modules - the Crypto and ArchiSig modules - are already available to the public sector across the board via Anwendung Governikus .

Core functions

  • Creation, reading, updating and discarding of XAIP archive containers (ArchiSafe module)
  • Validation of eIDAS-compliant signatures, seals and time stamps (crypto module)
  • All relevant signature formats are supported, e.g. CAdES (detached/enveloped) and embedded signatures according to PAdES standard
  • Automatic generation of initial evidence values (hash tree and timestamp)
  • Functions for user-controlled renewal of hash trees and timestamps (ArchiSig module) and much more.
