Abstract

The problem presented to the Advanced Telecommunications Institute (ATI) at Stevens Institute of Technology involved providing monthly updates of a Global Positioning System (GPS) database. The Electronic Database Delivery (EDD) system which ATI developed for AlliedSignal instantly delivers the latest navigational data online. There is no delay in receiving the product once ordered and authorized. The EDD system “remembers” a user who returns within 28 days, recalling the date and type of the previous GPS database purchase. The EDD environment integrates CyberCash, a commercial transaction provider, to approve all online credit card transactions. The EDD product design includes many levels of security, including a Netscape Secure Commerce Server, CyberCash transaction security and AlliedSignal´s own application-level security
