Internet/Electronic Commerce

KSA's principals and staff engineers have been involved in investigating, specifying and developing the platform, security facilities, applications, etc. for the Internet and the Electronic Commerce that is conducted over the Internet since its inception at MIT in the early 1970's. Here are highlights of some completed and ongoing product development efforts:

• Specified and architected many commercial Internet-based audio and video applications ("Jukebox-in-the-Sky" for downloading of CD's and "virtual jukebox" applications, real-time internet broadcast of live concerts, etc.)

• Specified, architected and prototyped an electronic commerce system which operates seamlessly over the internet and public switched network; includes a distributed, object-oriented platform (UNIX/NT/C++), open E-mail, and very substantial encryption and authentication/validation provisions.

• Specified security features for a major worldwide electronic commerce platform

• Specified subscriber authorization systems for major worldwide electronic commerce platform

• Participate in international standards bodies for definition, specification and implementation of advanced electronic commerce security facilities and systems

• Investigated, specified MIME and Secure MIME for encapsulation of objects sent over unsecure networks

• Investigated, performed feasiblity, performance and interoperability analyses relative to the use of JAVA with MIME and HTTP

• Investigated, specified the use of PKCS and MIME protocols for the exchange of authorization certificates
