Crosscheck Networks in Europe Tie-Up

Crosscheck Networks has announced a partnership with A.E.T. Europe B.V. (AET), market leader in strong authentication with cryptographic tokens and Digital ID Management. The partnership enables Crosscheck Networks to provide SOA customers worldwide the ability to test WS-Security operations using hardware based smart cards and USB tokens as well as test secure SSL session with dynamic X509 client authentication using the hardware smart card certificate. The integration of SafeSign Identity Client (IC) with SOAPSonar testing product allows customers to quickly validate the interoperability of SOA client applications that utilize hardware-based smartcards for secure signed or encrypted SOAP/XML messages when communicating with SOA infrastructure components.

"AET is the market and technology leader when it comes to middleware for cryptographic tokens. Crosscheck Networks is pleased to partner with a company that delivers strong authentication worldwide to over 10 million users with more than 70 cards and USB tokens from more than 10 different manufacturers," said Jack Hembrough, Board Advisor Crosscheck Networks.

Crosscheck Networks' industry-leading SOA testing software, SOAPSonar, is based on four pillars of SOA testing -- functional regression, performance, security, and compliance. The product simplifies testing at each stage of the SOA lifecycle.

"We are seeing increased use cases in Europe of SOA client applications utilizing hardware-based smartcards for SOAP-XML message cryptography," said Reinoud Weijman, Managing Director of AET. "SOAPSonar's integration with SafeSign IC allows SOA customers to easily test hardware-based cryptography for SOAP-XML before deploying production SOA client applications."
