Internship – Software Development

Security
What are you going to do?
At Nedap, we currently use a C# application as “bridge software” running on Windows machines. This application connects hardware such as card printers and passport scanners to our Java-based backend system via vendor DLLs. Currently, this connection is handled using CORBA—a technology that no longer aligns with our ambitions for cloud-native and secure-by-default solutions.
In this internship, you’ll explore how we can modernize this communication. You will replace CORBA with a modern, secure, and maintainable protocol, such as REST or WebSockets with TLS.
Your responsibilities
- Analyze: Investigate how the current Java server handles CORBA-based device registration;
- Modernize: Replace the CORBA layer with a protocol like REST or WebSockets;
- Implement: Update the C# application to support the new protocol;
- Secure: Ensure the new protocol implementation makes secure use of TLS to enhance safety.
