Lymeware Announces TCIF Secure Messaging Interactive Agent (IA)

7 January 2000 - Old Lyme, Connecticut

Lymeware Corporation announces its IAgent Secure Messaging Interactive Agent (IA) product. The Lymeware IAgent Product is a conformal implementation of the TCIF/ECIC Interactive Agent (TCIF IA), which allows secure EDI transactions over relatively insecure networks, via TCP/IP and SSLv3.

The IAgent Product provides large volume near real-time secure business to business transaction transport for the U.S. Telecommunications Industry. IAgent provides a robust, secure, fast transport of EDI and non-EDI messages valuable for electronic messaging in any industry.

The underlying structure of the TCIF IA standard and the IAgent design is a symmetrical client/server configuration where both the client and server functions are required at each implementation. Integrating these client and server components into an existing OSS or backend system is key to performance, scalability and deployment time. IAgent provides Integration APIs, designed for simple integration with common application interfaces. The four supported integration APIs (for internal message input and output transfer) include: the File/Directory interface, the Named Pipe interface, the IP Socket interface and the Tibco tm TIB/Rendezvous message bus interface.

This product is currently in Alpha testing at a client's site and should be generally available 2Q 2000.

More product information is available in The IAgent Product Sheet, which describes the current version of the Lymeware IAgent product.

Additional information is available on the Lymeware web site.
