DEP HOST SECURITY MODULE COMPATIBLE WITH ACI BASE24 TRANSACTION SOFTWARE

Brussels, 7 November 2005 – ACI, one of the world’s primary producers of transactional software, has agreed to make its BASE24 solution compatible with the Banksys DEP host security module. The move means that the large number of BASE24 customers can now increase the security of their transactions by opting for the class-leading DEP technology. Existing DEP customers may also select BASE24 whilst maintaining the benefits of their existing DEP security infrastructure.



BASE24 is an integrated software solution for the acquisition, authentication, routing, and authorization of financial transactions. The system supports a wide variety of payment methods, including debit and credit card payments, branch banking, telephone banking, Internet banking, and mobile commerce. The solution is open to a broad range of computing environments, allowing customers to run the best-of-breed software of their choice. BASE24 will be configured to accommodate the Banksys DEP, the worldwide reference in host security modules.

Increased market potential for the DEP technology

‘This compatibility is good news for ACI customers and Banksys alike’, says Vincent Roland, Chief Executive Officer at Banksys. ‘It means that BASE24 users will now be able to employ the Banksys DEP product range and add a significant level of security to their transactional systems. Given the widespread use of BASE24 and the excellent reputation and performance of the DEP host security modules, we expect this move will generate important additional business for us.’

Window of opportunity for existing DEP customers

‘The customers currently using the DEP HSM security infrastructure may take benefit as well of the potential that BASE24 offers’ says Richard Launder, managing director at ACI Worldwide.
‘BASE24 is acting as a de facto industry standard for transaction processing. An increasing number of financial institutions are using BASE24 to be positioned for future challenges in the transaction processing space. With the support for the DEP product, Banksys’ customers will benefit from our cooperation’

Revolutionizing network security

The DEP range of host security modules brings state-of-the-art cryptographic security to a large number of applications. In addition to traditional banking applications, the Banksys DEP also fully meets emerging market needs. These include e-commerce, m-commerce, e-banking, payTV access control, and key management systems. Banksys has been using the DEP security technology for its own needs and intends to continue developing its strong DEP range of products in the future.
