The “CWIX 2024” exercise, organized annually by NATO to test the interoperability of coalition countries, took place this year in Bydgoszcz, Poland, from June 3 to 21, 2024. We supported the Turkish Armed Forces and other participating firms with our indigenous and national products in the fields of Digital Certification and Cryptology.
The products developed by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM and featured in the CWIX 2024 exercise are:
- Electronic Certification Management Infrastructure (ESYA): This infrastructure, which ensures the secure management of digital certificates, plays a critical role in identity verification and data security in electronic environments.
- Online Certificate Status Protocol (ESYA OCSP): This protocol is a system that checks the validity of digital certificates in real time and is of great importance for secure communication.
- DIRAK Network HSM Device: This device, which provides high-security encryption and key management, is used in network-based security solutions.
During the exercise, our National Public Key Infrastructure (MA3) team from UEKAE Digital Asset Technologies tested TÜBİTAK BİLGEM's indigenous and national solutions alongside technological solutions from NATO countries, obtaining significant data in terms of interoperability. Such international exercises are of great importance for strengthening Türkiye's competencies and technological infrastructure in the defense industry.
As TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, we would like to thank the General Staff and Force Commands for their support in our participation in the CWIX 2024 exercise. The presence of Türkiye in the international arena equipped with indigenous and national technologies provides significant contributions to the development of our defense industry.
