+<h1>Anastasis was awarded the ISSS excellence award</h1>
+<p>
+The ISSS excellence award was won by Dominik Meister and Dennis Neufeld
+for their Bachelor thesis Anastasis.
+</p>
+<p>
+The Information Security Society Switzerland short (ISSS), Switzerland's
+largest associations of ICT security professionals, presented the ISSS 
excellence
+Award for the seventh time in 2020. One of the winners of the excellence award 
was Anastasis.
+The laudation of the jury:<br>
+Anastasis - Password-less key recovery via multi-factor multi-party 
authentication
+<br>
+<p>
+Passwords and other secret information are important elements in our life 
today,
+whether we access personal services provided via the Internet or confidential 
information
+kept in local storage. But how can we access such services or information if
+the secret keys needed got lost, e.g. due to hardware failure,
+negligence or a cyber attack? In their thesis, Dominik Meister and
+Dennis Neufeld demonstrate a novel approach to mitigate such risks, by 
designing a
+method and a system for secret key recovery. Their approach consists of an 
authentication
+of the secret owner using multiple redundant factors and a distribution of 
parts of
+the secret key(s) to various service providers.
+It features a zero-knowledge authentication of the secret owner and warrants 
that none of the service
+providers will be able to reconstruct the recovered secret key(s). The authors 
also propose a business model
+and corresponding case studies using their approach, and plan to build a 
start-up company based on this model,
+thus exploiting the technical approach they designed in their thesis.
