2024: Name change to "CryptoKlyuch"

SafeTech and Crypto-PRO on October 29, 2024 announced the rebranding of a joint solution for a qualified electronic signature from the My Key smartphone. The product will be called "CryptoKey."

"CryptoKey" is a mobile application that allows users to simply, conveniently and as safely as possible sign documents with an electronic signature from their smartphone.

The product is a joint development of CryptoPro and SafeTech, built on the basis of the CryptoPro Key software complex and the PayControl electronic transaction confirmation tool.

CryptoKlyuch implements a two-way signature scheme - neither the client nor the server part of the system can sign the document on their own, without interaction with the second party. This makes it possible to create convenient and secure digital services for citizens, businesses and the state.

The name "CryptoKey" reflects the manufacturability of the solution and focuses on cryptographic features, so that the user understands that this application can really be trusted.

The previous name misled users by associating not with cryptographic electronic signature keys, but with any others, such as those we carry with us in our pockets. It was easy to confuse it with an application for a smart home or with a service for buying or renting real estate, "said Daria Verestnikova, commercial director of SafeTech.

The decision to rebrand was made in a very timely and correct manner. As developers of cryptographic information protection tools, we believe that rebranding will allow our users to better understand the scope of this application, "said Pavel Smirnov, Development Director of CryptoPro.
