  • NIST P256
  • NIST P384
  • Brainpool P256r1
  • Brainpool P384r1

These advanced curves offer a high level of security while maintaining a low resource footprint. This makes them ideal for industrial environments where reliable and fast data encryption is crucial.

Security as the Foundation of Digital Transformation

With these enhancements, Softing is clearly prioritizing cybersecurity as a fundamental requirement for digital transformation in industry. By supporting modern encryption standards like ECC, Softing demonstrates its long-term commitment to enabling secure and future-ready industrial networks.
