Facilitating back-office integration

Calypso implemented in front-end of AFC system, frees the back office from an important number of administrative tasks regarding control and recovery of failed transaction: thanks to the Calypso secure session, all transactions performed off-line by the terminals are successfully completed and optimized and can later on be collected by the central system.
The high security level and the specified rules simplify greatly the design and development of all back offices and further assure the interoperability between ticketing systems from different suppliers.

You can learn more about all the Calypso values by downloading the Calypso Handbook.

Triangle the right solution for interoperability

Triangle defines common rules for managing security keys, a file structure and a data model. Triangle is protected by DESX and Triples DES security keys, managed by CNA, and present in the SAM of the ticketing equipment. The data model allows loading public transport con-tracts of any type and duration. These contracts are secured by a signature: the unique identifier of the contract issuer is written into the contract; it cannot be forged and is secured by a SAM. ( Source: www.spirtech.com ).
