Data and Messaging Security

Data and Messaging Security: We have retained in-house expertise in the area of financial messaging encryption/security, with particular emphasis on the design and deployment of secure operational messaging systems.

We have experience in the following areas:
* Consulting on messaging standards and options
* Writing design specifications for your review
* Implementation support
* Project management
* Testing plans
* Testing support
* Post-implementation reviews
* Training

Example:
Working with a leading Custodian, an Advisor and a Fund Distributor we designed and implemented a three-party, authenticated, secure and private communications system for the transmission of Exchange Traded Funds' trade and reporting information. All files and data are encrypted with signed PGP public/private key pairs. Network communications are handled with either HTTPS (SSL) or FTP/SSL. A foreign key ceremony is set up between all users. All communications are logged to XML.


  • We can also assist with software design/build, and have experience
    building file transfer and messaging using PGP public/private keys, SSL, both browser based (HTTPS) and secure FTP/SSL.  One of our systems uses HTML/JavaScript browser-based PGP encryption algorithms, keeping the user's experience simple while protecting them from key sniffing.
