Originally a strategy think tank, Dictis focused on starting new businesses, mainly in the smart card industry and in the world of emerging open networks.

Dictis was deeply involved in the launch of new activities in innovative domains such as Internet applications, GSM or satellite communications.

Dictis gradually built a global and comprehensive vision around the Internet, foreseeing the key issues based on trust and payment.

Thus, in 1998, Dictis gathered prestigious shareholders Gemplus, Verisign, France Telecom, Matra and Banques Populaires to jointly create Certplus, today's leading trust services operator in France.

As the mobile telecommunication industry is strongly linked to the smart card industry (GSM standard is smart card-based), Dictis was ideally positioned to understand the key issues of the emerging wireless Internet.

In February 2000, Dictis created Dictao, a 100% controlled subsidiary specialized in Trust Architectures and PKI integration.

Today
Dictis has built an undisputed expertise of emerging technologies. We are continuously monitoring evolutions of concepts, technology, solutions and business implications.

Today Dictis plays a key role in the analysis and development of trust environments that are gradually being deployed on the Internet. We have an in depth understanding of payment solutions that are presently striving to be accepted as de facto standards.
