The platform functionality translates into extensive and practical experience in building and operating an on-line auction system which not only enables you to automate recurrent tasks, but also to develop comprehensive security mechanisms for the data being collected:

  • Personal data encryption – all personal data stored in the database are encrypted.
  • Security policy – meticulous security policy concerning the authentication process, i.e. password strength defining, password expiration time setting, password expiration reminder etc.
  • Record of changes – the system automatically records and saves a complete register of changes introduced to on-line auction and user items.
  • Encrypted database – entire internal communication (messages) is saved in an additionally encrypted database.
  • Secure communication – the client-to-server communication layer is managed using secure protocols (AMF + SSL).
