Are you ready to start?

OFTP2 is ready for implementation.
It connects you and your business partners from any location in the world.


OFTP2 is the new communication protocol that has been implemented by Odette (Organization for Data Exchange by Tele Transmission in Europe). It is being used to standardize the protocol communication for large file tranfers and traditional EDI within many idustries, most notably, the automotive industry in Europe. OFTP2 allows for cost-effective and efficient transfer of business data over the internet. By using bandwidth available over the world wide web, you will experience an increase in your transfer speeds. OFTP2 also offers the security of point-to-point data transfer that has been offered by OFTPv1. File size restrictions for transfers are also a thing of the past!

Ensuring efficient and cost-effective EDI capabilities.

Trubiquity offers data exchange automation solutions that will help to migrate from using ISDN and to introduce OFTP2. TRUeurex-c, Trubiquity’s well-established client/server EDI solution, for instance supports all versions of OFTP to enable continued and uninterrupted exchange of both, commercial and technical business data, via a platform-independent single base system. Likewise, TRUfusion Connect and TRUfusion Enterprise provide OFTP2 support for consolidated, automated product design data exchange and communication.

Advantages of OFTP2

Availability: You can use OFTP2 everywhere - Internet is globally available!
Speed:
  • OFTP with ISDN (1 cannel): at 7kB/s, it takes 20 h to transmit 500 MB data (not unsual for CAD/CAE and even classic EDI may reach 100 MB per file)
  • OFTP2 with Internet (high speed internet access): the same file may be transmitted in 15 to 30 minutes
Cost savings: less transfer costs
Security: use of state-of-the-art security mechanisms (i.e. security certificates) for channel protection, file encryption, document and end-to-end response signature
File size: larger files for CAD/CAM/CAE
Reliability: restart broken transmissions, pull and push transfer

OFTP2 Features in an Overview

OFTP2 Features

Security

Since the internet is an open network, OFTP2 adds the necessary security features to the well known and heavily used Odette File Transfer Protocol OFTP.

Without OFTP2, file exchange via the internet can be dangerous: data is unprotected!

Warning: Data is unprotected!

This is why OFTP2 implements three levels of security to ensure highest security standards for sensible business data.

Three Levels of Security

  • I. Session security
    • Utilization of SSL/TLS encrypted TCP/IP communication links
    • Encryption of each single TCP/IP packet
    • Utilization of X509 certificates and CMS format for the data exchange
OTP2 uses TLS security




  • II. Encryption of the data
    • Utilization of asymmetric encryption
OFTP2: additional encryption of transmitted data content



  • III. Signature and verification
    • Generating a hash of the data
    • Encryption of the hash with the own private key
OFTP2: ability to attach digital electronic signatures
