German software house FAKTUM will be
demonstrating digital signature applications at the CeBIT 99 tradeshow
March 18- 24.
In addition to the “HBCI (Homebanking Computer Interface) Internet Banking
Solution,” attention will focus on the new “CryptoSeal” software, which
allows encryption and a particular signature for any type of data, pursuant
to the provisions of the Signature Law.
FAKTUM has added decisive components to its solutions for HBCI, which is a
binding standard used in German Banking. HBCI
has been used by FAKTUM successfully since 1997, and it also offers a range
of other HBCI products in addition to those existing for online and offline
use.
This year, products are offered to HBCI clients on the basis of Windows CE.
The server page will be extended to include easy administration modules to
be integrated into the RSA smart card solution, being produced by FAKTUM
within HBCI’s prescribed digital signature framework. The software house
also has a solution for securities transactions and an easy-to-use,
competitively priced shopping mall.
The demand for confidential and error-free identification of a
communication partner is not restricted to the financial services sector.
For that reason, FAKTUM issues universal product applications in
“CryptoSeal” software, which accords with the provisions of the Signature Law.
Any type of document can be transferred to an immutable format and signed
digitally. This meets the what-you-see-is- what-you-sign requirement of the
Digital Signature Law. Documents can be encrypted using the various
cryptographic methods on offer.
“CryptoSeal” also supports multiple signatures in the financial services
sector and internal company communications. The product is particularly
appropriate for communal administration.
