A.E.T. Europe B.V.

A.E.T. Europe B.V. is a Dutch security-software publisher that concentrates on the cryptographic layers that let governments, banks, and large enterprises turn ordinary smart cards, USB tokens, and HSMs into legally binding signature and strong-authentication tools. The company’s catalogue is intentionally narrow, revolving around two tightly related middleware families: SafeSign IC Standard and SafeSign IC MiniDriver. Both packages act as the invisible bridge between the Windows cryptographic subsystem and any ISO-7816 or PKCS#15 compliant device, translating high-level requests from Outlook, Adobe Reader, SAP, or custom line-of-business applications into low-level APDU commands that the chip understands. Typical deployments include qualified remote-signing services for tax filings, S/MIME e-mail protection inside corporate Exchange farms, secure log-on to Citrix or Azure Virtual Desktop, and citizen eID schemes that demand FIPS 140-2 level 3 compliance. Because the libraries expose Microsoft CNG and PKCS#11 interfaces, integrators can slot them into existing certificate-based workflows without rewriting code, while end-users simply insert a card and enter a PIN to sign, encrypt, or authenticate. The Standard edition ships as a 64-bit redistributable that can be silently mass-deployed through SCCM or Intune, whereas the MiniDriver variant bundles the full middleware stack—card explorer, PIN-change utility, CSP and KSP providers—into one lightweight MSI that keeps client images small. All releases are maintained in lock-step with Windows patch cycles and are re-signed with the latest AET code-signing certificate to prevent SmartScreen warnings. A.E.T. Europe software is offered free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are sourced from the official winget repository, always deliver the newest build, and can be queued for batch installation.
