Entitiled “ A 2010 Global Transaction Handbook: Cash and Liquidity Management”, co-authors Nigel Woodward of Intel, John Burton of Petra Financial and Ross Macdonald of Palm Tree Technology cover the risks, trends and requirements of secure mobile cash transactions in Web 2.0.


To quote:

“Today security is cumbersome, often expensive, reliant on third parties and difficult to scale. For take up to achieve critical mass and thereby mass acceptance of the use of the mobile for financial transactions – a security solution needs to incorporate the following attributes:

• Stateless (no physical manifestation – either a dongle or software download);
• Secure against all known threats (validated by third parties);
• Simple (easy to use with minimal user training /education);
• Readily available (self serve registration on-line/SaaS solution);
• Easy to integrate into mobile applications; ␣ Not be reliant on third parties for
• authentication.

“...Working in this space is PalmTree Technology, with their Live Ensure™ service capability, which takes a different approach to security that is non- nvasive and significantly easier to implement and operate than techniques dependent on peripherals. Palmtree Technology take a market approach to security – the issue is cross-function and geographic – not case by case based on individual transaction types. Taking identity at market level, cloud thinking is a key construct for Live Ensure™ for tying access and usage policies to provisioning/monitoring systems that span external and internal processes. A multi-factor authentication process sets the stage for transactional security that assumes the bright lines of traditional security technology are approaching obsolescence....”

"From working with some of the early audio compression codecs, I have witnessed a gradual improvement of audio quality coupled with decreasing audio file sizes as the years have passed. Because audio files are really just a collection of samples that re-create the sound, maintaining the original characteristics of those samples is directly proportionate to the resulting sound quality. But the popular existing audio codecs, such as the ones that create .mp3 files and others, have introduced aliasing and artifacts as basic side effects of audio file compression. This has been viewed by the marketplace as an acceptable trade off for the convenience of the newer music playback products, such as computer jukeboxes and personal audio file players.

Now, that sacrifice is no longer required. The FullWave audio file format is the ultimate breakthrough of this technology trend. When I first heard the FullWave audio file compared to a standard .mp3 (converted at 128Mb/sec), I immediately noticed a wider depth to the sound, more precise overall frequency response, and clear high-end tonality and crispness. In comparison, the .mp3 file had a damped, blanketed sound that resembled listening to a song from another room with the door closed. The FullWave audio file opened that door and made me believe that I was no longer listening to an audio file, but rather the original master recording. It was almost as if someone had cross-faded the audio coming out of my computer to the sound coming from my home stereo. And the best part is the size of a FullWave audio file is about one-third the size of an .mp3 equivalent. So, not only can I now get full resolution sound quality out of my audio files, but I can get three times more music into the same data storage medium(s). This is truly a win-win for both the digital audio industry as well as music consumers utilizing these products and/or services.

The art of recording and audio production is to "capture a moment in history", and maintain the original essence exuded by the artist throughout the production process. But over the last decade, music enthusiasts have come to accept sub-standard audio quality in exchange for convenience and portability. With the new FullWave audio compression utility, that sacrifice is no longer a requirement. Music consumers and enthusiasts can now enjoy the accuracy and detail that was originally intended by the great producers and engineers of the world - without the hindrance of unwanted artifacts and other side effects of the existing audio file compression codecs."

If the music truly matters, then there's no question that FullWave is the next wave. Catch it."

The technologies under my review include ID Insure™, miniMP3, FullWave I, and FullWave II.

ID Insure is an encryption technique and protocol designed to secure the transmission of information between a trusted provider such as a financial institution or e-commerce website and their customer. Its design requires the cooperation of both the content provider and the consumer. Using machine specific information, the system delivers a file which can be opened only on the specific machine for which it is intended. Unlike other encryption techniques, each ID Insure file is unique. A machine is identified by a signature created in the combination of numericised data from physical attributes of a specific machine and personalized consumer data. These machine signatures are stored in thousands of templates and delivered randomly at the time of transmission to both the client and server. This technique leaves only milliseconds for an interceptor to attempt to decode the system.

MiniMP3 is designed to reduce the overall size of existing mp3 or AAC files by more 60%. The system identifies redundant frames in small blocks and stores them only once. This technique is called Frame Redundancy Elimination. These blocks are then replayed in the proper sequential order of the music through a series of mathematic pointers. MiniMP3 is not an audio codec but is rather a programmatic application used to process the result of other well known and standardized codecs.

FullWave I is a new audio codec designed to deliver an audio file at CD quality which is 1/3 the size of the current standard files like mp3 and AAC. FullWave I uses separate techniques for encoding and decoding and Uses mathematic pointers to reconstruct the sequentially of the music thereby avoiding the bloat of an encapsulated file. The codec uses two major techniques to achieve file size reduction. The first is stated in the description of miniMP3 above. It is called Frame Redundancy Elimination.

After scanning the digital audio footprint, the system identifies small blocks of redundant frames. Rather than storing these frames multiple times in an encapsulated file as do other codecs, FullWave I stores them only once and replays them in the proper sequence using mathematic pointers. The second is a unique approach to audio storage which uses the spectrum itself as a storage medium. Digital Audio is divided into sections and stored as multiples of the original values. These waveform blocks are separated well enough to avoid aliasing or harmonic bleed.

FullWave II is advancement upon the work of FullWave I. It delivers a far smaller file at a higher bit rate. Using a fresh approach this codec will deliver the first wirelessly transmittable audio file at 24 bits. Although FullWave II uses the same techniques mentioned above in FullWave I, it does so in a unique way. All codecs of this type apply their algorithms to the finished stereo pair. FullWave II is applied by the audio engineer in the recording studio. It is applies to each of the many tracks used in a modern studio. These tracks can number well above 200. The file size reduction is greatly increased by working with individual tracks using the Frame Redundancy Elimination and audio storage techniques employed by the FullWave codecs.
