The CERTITAX Client programming
interface provides a way to directly integrate CERTITAX technology into your applications. See the system requirements
page for more information on platforms and programming languages supported.
The
Programmer's Guide (PDF) discusses the use of the programming interface. Sample code supporting the
Guide is installed with the CERTITAX client Programming Interface. The sample code is also available via installed
shortcuts on your program menu.
All CERTITAX executable code, including the Java classes, is Authenticode signed. You can
confirm a component's authenticity by checking the file properties for that component.
Architecture and Security
The CERTITAX architecture allows maximum flexibility, reliability, security, scalability and
performance for the wide range of applications in which it is used. The system can handle as many
as 30 simultaneous transactions per second, providing a solution for virtually any size of
e-commerce site. The basic components are the CERTITAX Client Programming Interface, the CERTITAX Client,
and the CERTITAX Server. The relationship of these components is as follows:
Communications between
the CERTITAX Client and Server use mutually authenticated SSL on port 19108, to ensure security
of potentially sensitive transaction information. Communications between the eCommerce application
and the CERTITAX client use DCOM. The security of this path is set according to the policy of your
installation, but is defaulted to open security for maximum performance.
The Programming Interface may be installed by itself, on a platform designed for development and
testing, or as part of a complete CERTITAX Client installation. See the system requirements
page for more information on platforms and programming languages supported.
