Military Messaging Architecture

The FlashPoint product is STANAG 4406 (Ed.1 & Ed.2) compliant Military Messaging system, providing three key components:

• Messaging Client
• Message Transfer Agent
• Message Store

The FlashPoint Messaging Client provides composition and reception of Military Messages through an intuitive Windows Interface. It interfaces to the FlashPoint Server which then provides the Message Store and Message Transfer Agent.

• Messages signed and originators authenticated using S/MIME or PCT (Protecting Content Type)
• STANAG 4406 MMHS (Ed.1 & Ed.2) conformant to all mandatory requirements
• Native MAPI client with intuitive Windows GUI (Graphical User Interface)
• Uniquely suitable for use where backwards compatibility is required, since FlashPoint supports both modes of signature defined in STANAG 4406 (Ed.1 & Ed.2).
• Support for transparent PCT signature allows a signed message to be read by older systems not supporting PCT, while still conveying a signature that can be verified by clients that support PCT transparent signature.
• Option for Address List Expansion
• Option for SIC code distribution
• X.413(1994) fully supported with Auto Actions
• Message Stores on server facilitates management and back-up, allows users access from any client workstation anywhere, and enables simultaneous shared access ideal for role mailboxes
• Creation of folders in the Message Store
• Interfaces to X.500 Directory
• Option for Strong Authentication
• Alerts for new messages across security domains
• Option for SMTP message transport
