Software:Sichere Inter-Netzwerk Architektur
Sichere Inter-Netzwerk Architektur (SINA) is a cryptographic system developed by and a product of the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, an arm of the German government.[1] It also has the anglicized name Secure Inter-Network Architecture.[2] As of April 2024 the cryptosystem was employed by "many European governments for transmitting classified information".[3]
History
SINA came to prominence in March 2023 when it was divulged in a court warrant for the arrest of the Austrian intelligence officer Egisto Ott, who has a relationship with Wirecard fraudster Jan Marsalek, that a SINA laptop was handed to the Russian secret services,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] specifically the Lubyanka Building office of the FSB.[3]
The Austrian authorities report that Ott received €20,000 for the laptop from Marsalek.[12]
