OISTE and Malaga Valley Group Signed an Agreement to Use WISeKey's Common Global Root and Scalable PKI Hierarchy to Establish a Euro-African Hub

MALAGA, Spain and GENEVA, Switzerland, October 25 /PRNewswire/ --

OISTE will help the government of Malaga become the new Euro-African Hub,
with the aim of optimizing economic-social-cultural relations between Europe
and Africa. This will be accomplished using the infrastructure of the
Technology Park of Malaga and its unique geopolitical location. The project
will be financed by the private sector, the European Union (EU) and Spanish
government.

To make the most of the potential of this project, the signatories intend
to transform Malaga with this important technological Hub, which includes
Internet technologies to provide sustainable electronic solutions, where
security barriers and trust related to the use of public networks can be
discussed.

The Euro-African Hub will operate in a first phase from Geneva, in the
highly protected buildings of WISeKey. The subsequent transfer to Malaga will
take place once the on-site infrastructure is fully operational. This
innovative system will combine multiple physical and electronic security
systems utilizing PKI solutions within a "zero risk" secure environment,
thanks to the extensive use of VPN (private data network) systems.

"The creation of a Euro-African Hub will give a clear and effective
answer to all cooperation activities between African and European countries.
Technology will allow us to build that sort of bridges that will contribute
to the development of Africa by bringing knowledge to people, and thus by an
initiative leaded also by Civil Society, where the Asociación de Usuarios de
Internet (AUI) is proud of being a protagonist in this project", affirmed
Miguel Pérez Subías, President of AUI and promoter of the HUB during the
Malaga Valley meeting.
