An easily integrated DSMS gateway for merchants requesting Identrus trust services

The Kyberpass Trust Services Gateway is based on the proven award-winning Kyberpass Security Server™ configured with system services to perform the role of the Identrus Digital Signature Messaging System (DSMS). The Kyberpass Trust Services Gateway offers an integrated set of system services that can be called by a merchant’s business applications to request trust and value-added services from their financial institution using the Identrus infrastructure. Using the same plug-and-play Transaction Service Handler architecture as the Kyberpass Trust Services Manager, the Kyberpass Trust Services Gateway’s extensible design supports easy addition of new value-added XML transaction services.


This unique server based architecture (product approach) offers financial institutions and their customers several benefits over a traditional toolkit approach.

1. A simple function call added to the application facilitates a call for a trust service minimizing the complexity, development, and support by the merchant
   
2. The architecture is independent of application type, web server, and operating system
   
3. The architecture facilitates a single platform support for any number of application servers
   
4. The architecture facilitates remote hosting of the DSMS function by a financial institution, Identrus Express Partner, or application service provider minimizing the operational complexities and HSM key management issues for merchants
   
5. The architecture facilitates fast time to market
   

This modular, standards-based approach to an Identrus DSMS also offers merchants a wide range of security features that go well beyond those defined by Identrus.
