Technology Whitepaper

Here at Kalysis, our mission is to bring future technology to actual business.
So, our technological trends span latest technologies using a unique point of view that allows us to offer them to our clients in an easy way.

Our MEI^® product line (under patent) is a universal authentication and e-payment platform across Internet, Intranet or LAN, which allows adding authentication and e-payment capabilities to any device with network capabilities.

Technological Characteristics:

· Server based authentication system. This capability leverages the authentication issues from the device and allows a minimal resources footprint. The only required capability is to have TCP/IP connectivity, a must have for every network device in our days.

· Secure. Security is our most important concern. All communications are implemented using SSL/TLS security and cryptography methods for ensure confidentiality, authentication and non-repudiability of data.

· Advanced Hacker Protection. Pattern recognition and AI rules are two powerful technologies used to prevent hacker attacks. System detects unusual or dangerous system usage patterns and prevents access from detected address / network.

· Quality of service. Our service runs over clustered J2EE servers. This allows us to give 24x7 service.

· Scalability. The clustered nature of our servers, allow us to scale accordingly to any grow in the user base. Also, dedicated authentication server can be created to give service to special customers.

· J2EE, clustered based servers. Our service is developed on top of the powerful J2EE standard and runs over clustered application servers so we can guarantee a 24x7 service. Also the authentication system can be easily ported to application servers with J2EE compliance.

· Portability. Our system uses the most portable platform in use today (J2EE), which makes our system portable across application server J2EE compatibles (BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere, Oracle 9i, JBoss, etc.

· Universal Access. The only for a client device is to be TCP/IP network enabled, to be programmable and to have expansion interface for connecting the card reader. These include compatible PCs (Windows and Linux), Mac, PDAs (CE, Palm, Symbian) and Smart Phones. Direct wireless access.

· Extensive API support. MEI® provides a complete API for the major languages in use today (Java, VB (COM), C++, .NET) that allows an easy integration into third party applications.

· Standard Applications. Client software provides a standard application for general-purpose authentication. Integrated authentication (into third party applications like games, sensitive applications, etc.) can be performed easily using our API.

· Legacy Systems compatible. Legacy systems only require introducing a new field in the user database or a new table to relate cards with identities in the legacy database.

· Multiple card types support. All ISO 7816 compatible cards supported. Cryptography and ID functionality supported.

· Multiple e-Payment modes supported: Prepay, credit, mixed mode (Prepay and credit). User doesn’t need to have a bank account.

· Ready to use online shop linked to e-payment and authentication framework. Fully and fast customizable design using XSLT stylesheets.

· Unified receipt management. User has access to a personal web area where it can query his latest movements using his card.

· Lowest prices. Equipment is the cheapest in the market. EMV and CEPS solution about an order of magnitude above.

Our skilled team has a great amount of experience developing Internet and Network-enabled applications. Some examples are:

· Portal Management Systems. Allows a client to create and manage his own portal in minutes. Fast design customization using XSLT stylesheets. J2EE based.

· Integrated network resource management. User can manage resources used by a user (bandwidth, disk space, processor time) and bill it for them. Prepay also possible, that is, system can limit resource usage to established (and paid) limits. C based development (for low level) and Java (J2EE) based development (for web management interface).

· Content Management and Syndication. XML-based news and article distributed management system. Java based software.

· E-Business. All online shop types (B2B, B2C, B2B2C). ASP, PHP and Java based programming. XML and XSLT technology implemented for electronic document interchange and design modularity.

· Videoconference. ISDN and TCP/IP (H.323) based videoconference.

· E-Learning. XML based training and testing system.

· Digital Libraries. All format digital content management system. Content stored as XML and converted to multiple formats (PDF, DOC, XSL-FO) using XSLT stylesheets.

Our team accumulates years of experience in all the following technologies.

· Database and Data warehousing solutions using major manufacturers (Oracle, Informix, Sybase, Microsoft). Open source databases experience (MySQL, PostgreSQL).

· Large programming language skills in the major industry languages used today (C / C++, Java, Delphi, Visual Basic, PHP, C#), Internet technologies (ASP, PHP, J2EE, WAP [WML, WMLScript, WHTML, XHTML], MS .NET).

· Web Services development in the major platforms in industry (MS .NET, Apache Axis / SOAP framework, Oracle 9i, Sun ONE.

· Experience with major Application Servers: BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere, Sun ONE, Netscape / Sun iPlanet. Open source applications servers’ experience (Jonas, JBoss).

· Standard and Proprietary network protocols implementation: FTP, HTTP, etc.

· Windows and Unix / Linux system setup and management.

We develop integrated process and technological consulting in order to give an integral service to our clients and to find the best-suited solution to their needs.

· Process consulting. Analysis of the actual processes used in the enterprise. Resource and process optimization to lower costs and time. We develop also start-up process establishment for newly created business.

· Telecommunications and access technologies: Wire (modem, ADSL, Frame-Relay) and wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS, UMTS) telecommunications needs are studied for the best needs / price ratio and the actual and future needs (scalability).

· Systems Consulting. Hardware and system software (O.S, Application and database servers) needs.

· Software design consulting. We develop main software architecture in order to make applications scalable, easy to change and robust. Of course, they must perform well.

· Integration Consulting. Legacy systems / data consulting. Standards use (XML) for intercommunication with legacy systems. Middleware use evaluation (UDICO Tierbroker, MS BizTalk).

Our I+D team is pleased each time a client gives us a new challenge.

· Technology assessment. We assess the risk for using a new technology, evaluating all resources are available.

· Prototype development. Prototypes are used as proof of concept when using a new technology and shows their strengths and weaknesses.
