He initiated project groups to work on specifications for card terminals, encryption and client/server authentication. He worked towards publications, such as the 1995 book "Digitale Signatur & Sicherheitssensitive Anwendungen (Digital signature & security sensitive applications), reports such Kryptographische Verfahren im Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen (Cryptographic methods in the health and social care sector) and Kriterienkatalog zur Bewertung der Vergleichbarkeit biometrischer Verfahren (Criteria catalogue for assessing the comparability of biometric methods). Reimer organized fair participations and the international conference Information Security Solutions Europe ISSE), held from 1999,[1] and representation at the U.S. RSA Conferences. He contributed to international dialogue on the topic of IT security.[2]
