Working as a security middleware, the ST Toolkit provides a security infrastructure for any B2B operations.

A real-world application for the ST Toolkit, in use by the People’s Bank of China.

In this case study, the EverLink ST Toolkit uses the EverLink Client and the EntryGuard Server to secure check images sent from the check-clearing center to a local branch office. Though this information will be sent through the public Internet, because of the end-to-end security established by the components of the ST Toolkit, it will traverse a virtual path directly from the clearing center to the branch office (indicated by the red arrows). When the branch office receives the check image, it will forward a receipt to the clearing center through the same secure, virtual path.

The People’s Bank of China also uses the ST Toolkit to privately send check status information from a central check-clearing center to a local branch office. First, the branch office sends an encrypted inquiry about the status of a check along a secure path to the clearing center. The clearing center then responds along the same virtual path back to the branch with the necessary information. Once again, though this sensitive information passes through the public Internet, it is absolutely secured as it traverses a virtual, end-to-end path.

The EverLink ST Toolkit is a security middleware that can be customized to meet your specific security goals. To find out how it can be adapted to your needs, call our Marketing department at 888 383 7178.
