Odette created its own FTP in the 1980 s and has enhanced it in several ways over the past nearly 30 years. A new version OFTP 2 that meets the security requirements of file transfer via the public internet has been developed and is now replacing the older versions of OFTP As an emerging technology for process automation and B 2 B data transfer Web. Services are to be analysed and evaluated TC members should have a good knowledge of file transfer protocols The TC is responsible for monitoring the implementation and driving the improvement of file transfer protocols and related specifications. Odette International Ltd.

TC Scope B 2 B Security (Encryption/Digital signature/Certificates) q q q Encryption and the use of digital certificates is a key technology for guaranteeing secure data exchange over public networks Management of digital certificates, their use in file transfer protocols and B 2 B connections became a constant task for B 2 B communication professionals TC members therefore need to have sufficient knowledge of the different security tools and technologies (encryption, digital certificates) in order to manage projects in this area.
