Functionality of the new OFTP V2 protocol
The new protocol OFTP V2 offers many advantages compared to the previous version OFTP V1.2:- Data is transferred through Internet, which offers time faster transfer than at the version OFTP V1.2, which uses ISDN line. Also the costs for transferring data through Internet are lower than when using ISDN.
- A line-encryption per SSL –it is set in a way to guarantee the safety requested in automotive industry. Encrypting of the file with data of the user is performed using RSA or Triple DES.
- The communication authenticity with the partner is guaranteed.
