Trey - from Premenos's product literature:
TEMPLAR is a suite of software, service, and network solution products which provide
organizations with an integrated solution for secure, reliable EDI over convenient and easy TCP/IP
networks, including the Internet. With TEMPLAR you have a single resource for the products,
services, and expertise you need to build a strong network infrastructure, enable your trading
partner community, and secure your EDI transmissions.
Security Independent Of The Network Architecture
The critical nature of your EDI data requires an extremely high level of security for
transmission. Security may reside at virtually any level of your communications stack. Since
security at one level may be bypassed by going to a higher level, the fundamental premise of
TEMPLAR is that by providing security at the application level - the level closest to the data
itself- your data will be secure no matter which network you use for transmission.
Security Independent Of The Mail Subsystem
TEMPLAR security resides between your EDI translator and your mail subsystem.
TEMPLAR can therefore secure data for transmission over virtually any message transport.
In its initial release, TEMPLAR supports SMTP/MIME, the standard message protocol used
for TCP/IP networks like the Internet. In future releases, TEMPLAR will be expanded to
support other mail protocols such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and X.400.
Authentication Agent
TEMPLAR serves as an Authentication Agent to ensure data integrity, authentication,
non-repudiation of origin, and non-repudiation of receipt. Non-repudiation of receipt is not
available in standard encryption solutions.
Standards
TEMPLAR incorporates the most advanced EDI, security, and communications standards to
ensure solid performance and complete reliability. The proven standards which TEMPLAR
uses or supports include SMTP/MIME, TCP/IP, RFC 822, RSA, DES, UN/EDIFACT,
and ANSI X12.
* this is not an endorsement for the product. I do not work or use their
products or have an interest in the company except for this year's tax refund
which is the process of going down the toilet. Cheers,
