Une nouvelle conversion est octroyée à ATERAS après que la migration d'IDMS ADS/Online de Progressive Insurance à DB2 CICS COBOL ait été achevée avec succès

DALLAS, April 10 /PRNewswire/ --

ATERAS a annoncé aujourd'hui que la société avait été sélectionnée par la société Progressive Casualty Insurance Company pour son projet d'expansion de numéros de polices, à l'aide des capacités de DB-Shuttle(TM) Enterprise Change. Ce projet vient suite à la migration réussie par ATERAS du Système de déclaration de sinistres IDMS CORE de Progressive à un environnement CICS COBOL DB2, supprimant ainsi entièrement IDMS et ADS/en ligne.

ATERAS se servira de sa technologie DB-Shuttle Enterprise Change pour procéder à l'expansion des numéros de polices. L'objet de ce projet est d'utiliser une méthode automatisée standard pour identifier et modifier les définitions et longueurs de domaine de 36 colonnes DB2 différentes (comprenant le numéro de la police, le nom et l'adresse) dans plusieurs banques de données de la Progressive Enterprise. La technologie DB-Shuttle's Enterprise Change procèdera également au repérage et à la modification de toutes les variables relatives au programme, peu importe les conventions d'appellations des variables et l'utilisation de ces champs dans la logique commerciale.

Le DB-Shuttle Enterprise Changer rassemblera et analysera plus de 13 millions de lignes de codes dans plus de 8 700 programmes et modules de copie. Il génèrera ensuite les règles de modifications nécessaires et les appliquera aux programmes et aux modules, y compris les changements requis dans la logique même de gestion des modifications numériques en modifications alphanumériques.

En mai 2006, ATERAS a utilisé les Transformation Engines de DB-Shuttle pour moderniser le Système de déclarations de sinistres CORE extrêmement délicat de Progressive. Le Système de déclarations de sinistres soutient 10 000 utilisateurs, procède à 2 millions de transactions par jour et soutient l'activité de déclarations de sinistres du pays tout entier. Les statistiques suivantes résument la conversion :

- 5 millions de lignes de codes - 265 enregistrements de schémas IDMS - 397 cartes IDMS - 603 ADS/dialogues en ligne - 1797 programmes IDMS-COBOL

Progressive bénéficie maintenant d'applications DB2 au fonctionnement équivalent qui ont d'excellents résultats, ne sont pas brevetées et sont entièrement relationnelles. La nouvelle configuration réduit les coûts globaux, améliore l'accès aux données et fournit à l'entreprise une plus grande agilité. Cette transaction a été réalisée sans interrompre les activités de Progressive et sans avoir de conséquences sur l'environnement de l'utilisateur final.

<< Notre technologie DB-Shuttle, dont le brevet est en instance, évalue, analyse et convertit les applications, les bases de données et les langages non relationnels en technologies relationnelles, tout en garantissant l'intégrité et la complétude des applications finales. Notre nouvelle technologie Enterprise Change offre à toute entreprise le luxe d'une expansion de domaine automatisée dans l'ensemble de sa structure. Les sociétés d'assurance profitent grandement de cette capacité unique car leurs activités nécessitent la modification de domaines tels que les noms, adresses, fourchettes d'âges et numéros de polices. De plus en plus de sociétés optent pour les méthodes automatisées plutôt que manuelles pour la conversion et les changements à l'échelle de leur entreprise. Nous croyons que notre technologie unique est un incitateur-clé de ce mouvement >>, déclare Scott Miller, président et PDG d'ATERAS.

Gemalto Technology Empowers World's First Secure SMS-Based Mobile-Payment Service

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, April 10 /PRNewswire/ --

- Belgium's BASE Leverages Gemalto Highly Secure M-Payment Solution

Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), a world leader in digital security, today announces it is providing Belgian mobile operator BASE with a comprehensive solution which allows its subscribers to perform secure payment by just sending an SMS. This revolutionary service is extremely convenient, as it enables consumers to pay with their mobile phone anytime, anywhere, quickly and easily. Always available, it also permits merchants to get paid immediately. Gemalto supplied BASE with a mobile payment application compatible with third generation SIM cards, incorporating the m-banxafe technology designed by Banksys, the company behind the authorisation, security and guarantee of electronic payments in Belgium. Gemalto also provided the specific personalisation services required to guarantee the highest levels of security for SMS-based transactions. The service went live on March 20, 2007.

This mobile-payment capability targets all kinds of practical services such as home deliveries, taxi rides or baby-sitting. Through an easy-to-navigate menu, the payee enters a payment request into his mobile phone. The payer receives this request, specifying the amount and the name of the payee, on his handset screen and accepts the transaction by entering the secret code he selected at service activation. Then both the customer and the merchant receive an SMS confirming the transaction.

The m-banxafe technology enables a link between the SIM card and the subscriber's banking card and account. During the activation process, the customer selects his mobile payment PIN code through the menu of his mobile phone. Then he inserts his banking card into the point of sales terminal of a BASE shop or into an ATM. He just has to select the activation option of the menu to create the link between his banking details and the PIN code on the SIM card. Banksys' m-banxafe enables reloading of the calling credit and live access to the account balance. This application has been designed in cooperation with all Belgian banks, ensuring the same level of security as that achieved with a banking card. From now on, all new Base subscribers will be issued an m-banxafe-enabled SIM card.

"We are delighted to welcome BASE customers to our new highly secure remote mobile payment service thanks to the new generation of BASE' SIM integrating our m-banxafe technology," commented Vincent Roland, CEO of Banksys. "The collaboration between Belgian Telecom operators and banks will allow us to capture cash transactions in new markets in which up till now the cards weren't accepted. This will be a benefit for all actors of the economy."

"We are very pleased to support BASE in rolling out this compelling service and bring our expertise in advanced card technology, which definitely plays a crucial role in securing future mobile payment applications," added Jacques Seneca, president Europe at Gemalto. "This innovative payment means is perfectly in line with people's lifestyles nowadays. Whether at home or on the move, they want flexibility, convenience, quick and easy access to secure mobile services. Gemalto offers solutions that make things safe and simple for users."

La technologie de Gemalto au coeur du premier service sécurisé de paiement mobile par SMS au monde

AMSTERDAM, Pays-Bas, April 10 /PRNewswire/ --

- L'opérateur belge BASE retient la solution de paiement mobile hautement sécurisée de Gemalto

Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), leader mondial de la sécurité numérique, annonce avoir fourni à l'opérateur mobile belge BASE une solution complète permettant à ses abonnés d'effectuer des paiements sécurisés par l'envoi d'un simple SMS. Extrêmement pratique, ce service inédit permet aux consommateurs de régler leurs achats en toute sécurité avec leur téléphone portable, rapidement et simplement, partout et à tout moment. Toujours disponible, le service offre également aux commerçants la possibilité d'être immédiatement payés. Gemalto a livré à BASE une application de paiement mobile compatible avec les cartes SIM de troisième génération intégrant la technologie m-banxafe. Cette technologie est développée par Banksys, dont la mission principale est l'autorisation, la sécurisation et la garantie des paiements électroniques en Belgique. Gemalto a également fourni à l'opérateur des services de personnalisation spécifiques afin d'assurer les plus hauts niveaux de sécurité pour les transactions via SMS. Le lancement commercial a eu lieu le 20 mars 2007.

Cette solution de paiement mobile vise tous types de services pratiques tels que les livraisons à domicile, les courses de taxi ou encore la garde d'enfants. Grâce à un menu ergonomique, le bénéficiaire saisit une demande de paiement sur son téléphone portable. Cette demande, qui comporte le montant de la transaction ainsi que le nom du commerçant, est reçue sur le téléphone portable du client. Celui-ci accepte la transaction en entrant le code secret qu'il a choisi à l'activation du service. Le client et le bénéficiaire reçoivent tous deux un SMS confirmant la transaction.

La technologie m-banxafe permet d'établir un lien entre la carte SIM de l'abonné et sa carte bancaire. A l'activation du service, l'abonné choisit un code secret associé aux paiements mobiles depuis le menu de son téléphone portable. Il insère ensuite sa carte bancaire dans le terminal de paiement d'un point de vente BASE ou bien dans un distributeur. Il lui suffit de sélectionner l'option << activation >> du menu pour créer le lien entre ses coordonnées bancaires et le code secret stocké sur sa carte SIM. La technologie m-banxafe de Banksys permet de recharger le crédit de communication et d'accéder au solde bancaire en temps réel. L'application a été conçue en coopération avec l'ensemble des banques belges, ce qui garantit des niveaux de sécurité identiques à ceux des transactions bancaires. Dorénavant, tous les nouveaux abonnés BASE recevront une carte SIM dotée de la technologie m-banxafe.

<< Banksys est fière de proposer aux abonnés de BASE son tout nouveau service de paiement mobile hautement sécurisé, grâce à la nouvelle génération de cartes SIM BASE intégrant notre technologie m-banxafe >>, indique Vincent Roland, directeur général de Banksys. << La collaboration entre les opérateurs mobiles belges et les banques nous permettra d'utiliser la carte pour des paiements traditionnellement effectués en espèces et ainsi, entrer sur de nouveaux marchés. Tous les acteurs de l'économie bénéficieront de cette avancée >>.

<< Nous sommes très heureux d'aider BASE à déployer ce service unique et d'apporter notre expertise dans le domaine de la carte, laquelle joue sans conteste un rôle crucial dans la sécurisation des futures applications de paiement mobile >>, ajoute Jacques Seneca, président de Gemalto pour l'Europe. << Ce moyen de paiement innovant est parfaitement en phase avec nos modes de vie actuels. Qu'ils soient chez eux ou en déplacement, les utilisateurs exigent souplesse, simplicité et rapidité pour accéder aux services mobiles sécurisés. Gemalto propose des solutions qui allient sécurité et facilité d'utilisation, pour le plus grand bénéfice des utilisateurs >>.

MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Certicom Corp. (TSX: CIC) today announced a partnership with nCipher to provide Certicom's Suite B Power Bundle products for nCipher hardware security modules (HSMs). This will allow nCipher and Certicom customers to quickly comply with the U.S. government's Suite B specifications. The need for stronger security is driving the demand for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), which is recommended by the U.S. government and is also being adopted by industry to protect valuable information.

ECC is a computationally efficient form of cryptography - an essential building block in security applications - that offers equivalent security to other competing technologies but with much smaller key sizes. This efficiency results in faster computations, lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings, thereby making it ideal for today's servers and enterprise applications. Because of this efficiency, organizations can meet growing security requirements, and reduce the number of servers required to manage the cryptographic keys. For example, depending on the hardware platform used, ECC can provide better than a 10:1 performance advantage over RSA and reduces the number of servers required by 7.5:1.

"By offering an ECC-enabled HSM with Certicom's Suite B Power Bundle software tools customers can easily adopt best practice and use hardware to protect their ECC applications as well as having access to the most advanced key management tools available," said Dr Nicko van Someren, chief technology officer at nCipher. "The partnership with Certicom ensures that our customers will have the most efficient and secure implementation of ECC available and be compliant with the latest government standards."

ECC is used in a growing number of sectors ranging from consumer electronics, wireless devices and semiconductors to government and financial services. In 2005, The National Security Agency's (NSA) recommended ECC as the public-key cryptosystem to protect classified and unclassified government communications. These recommendations, known as Suite B, are part of an initiative to upgrade the security infrastructure of the government's communications to meet present and future security needs.

"ECC security technology meets the demanding requirements of many customers, including the U.S. government," said Bernard Crotty, president and CEO of Certicom. "The nCipher partnership provides our government and enterprise customers with a range of deployment options allowing them to develop end-to-end ECC solutions with the highest performance implementations available and hardware protection from the most trusted name in the market."

Under the agreement, nCipher will provide the first high-speed ECC-enabled HSMs on the market and Certicom will provide Suite B software tools for developing complete ECC applications.
