Securing Messages Across the Internet

  provide a foundation to enhance their Business to
  Business (B2B) experience.

eBusiness transactions must satisfy 5 conditions

• Authentication- is the user who he she says they
  are.
• Authorisation-is the user authorised to access
  the information.
• Confidentiality- can the user be guaranteed that
  whatever he or she does to the information is
  done in confidence.
• Integrity-can we guarantee that no unathorised
  changes are made to the information.
• Non Repudiation-The sender and receiver can be
  contractually bound by the transaction and cannot
  refute the transaction.

ebMS
The ebMS products are based on ISO standard
15000-2. The ebMS approach provides a
comprehensive system of exchanging documents and
managing business processes using XML based
messaging securely via the Internet. It also
supports the use of binary file exchanges,
sophisticated routing, delivery and error
recovery mechanisms. Severs supporting ebMS
therefore exploit state-of-the art XML and
Internet communications techniques along with
firewall and IP addressing and ports to control
delivery and services.

B2BFusion
We consider B2BFusion as a transport business.
Specifically we are an information transporter.
Analogously, we are the new truckies of the
electronic superhighway. Our B2Me-Messenger
product transports electronic messages from one
location to another.   As a transporter we are
concerned with making sure the Sender and
Receiver are who they say they are
(Authentication), the Sender and Receiver have a
contract to undertake the transaction
(Authorisation), the goods (in this case the
message) gets to the required destination
securely (Confidentiality) , the message is
untarnished when it gets there (Integrity) and
is acknowledged by the Receiver (Non
Repudiation). Cont.

B2BFusion
As such we are not concerned with the content as
with its delivery. The B2Me Messenger has been
designed to provide an extensible application
that allows business to send any type of
communication easily, cheaply, and reliably
satisfying all the conditions of an eBusiness
transaction. It has been developed specifically
for the SME market and based on the ebXML
framework specifically ISO 15000-2 and will
transport any electronic message format including
