INCERT

What INCERT does

INCERT (legally INCERT GIE) is a Luxembourg state-established public organization founded in 2012, structured as a Groupement d'Intérêt Économique and headquartered in Leudelange. Its original mandate was supporting Luxembourg's sovereign digital services — electronic passport and ID card issuance and verification, eWallet development, health-process digitalization, and tobacco product traceability — and over the past decade this has expanded into a portfolio of proprietary cryptography and identity-management solutions sold to public and private clients worldwide.

The company's product stack is organized around two pillars. The cryptography pillar comprises KEYS&MORE (cryptographic key and certificate lifecycle management supporting AES, RSA, ECC, and X.509, deployable as SaaS, hybrid, or on-premises), KIRAW (an API-first data pseudonymization system with reversibility via a Trusted Third Party model), and QORI (multi-authority PKI and certificate lifecycle automation). The identity-management pillar comprises iDentials (SaaS event-management platform), Novento (high-level event accreditation system deployed at 18 rotating EU Council presidencies including the French 2022 and Spanish 2023 presidencies), and Visogo (a contactless-chip document authentication toolkit active across 90 countries with 4 billion identity documents verified). Adjacent offerings include a tobacco traceability system issuing approximately 700 million unique identifiers per year across Luxembourg and Belgium, an ICAO Health Master List PKI for aviation health-certificate verification, EU Digital Identity Wallet participation via the EWC consortium, and a Cyber Threat Intelligence service.

Commercially, INCERT operates a government-anchored, enterprise-field-sales motion with subscription / multi-year contract pricing across its SaaS and on-premises deployments, complemented by event-driven sales via EU presidencies and direct licensing through the Visogo verification toolkit. It holds official Luxembourg delegate positions at ICAO, ISO, IATA, the European Commission Article 6 Committee, and UNECE Working Party 29, which functions as a regulatory and standards-setting moat. Marquee customers include the State of Luxembourg (mandate holder), HARMAN (connected-car KMS across three continents), ICAO (aviation health credentials), and the European Commission (EUDI Wallet pilots), with operational customers spanning automotive, hospitality, healthcare, and international event sectors.
