Certificate

In cryptography, a public key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate, is an electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key. The certificate includes information about the key, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate's contents (called the issuer). If the signature is valid, and the software examining the certificate trusts the issuer, then it can use that key to communicate securely with the certificate's subject. See Certificates.

The GS1 Identification Key is used to identify physical locations or legal entities. The key comprises a GS1 Company Prefix, Location Reference, and Check Digit. Location identified with GLN could be a physical location such as a warehouse or a legal entity such as a company or customer or a function that takes place within a legal entity. It can also be used to identify something as specific as a particular shelf in a store. Being able to identify locations with a unique number is a key to many business processes. The GLN is used in electronic messaging between customers and suppliers, where location advice is important. GLN is also used within companies to identify specific locations both electronically in a database and physically where the GLN can be produced in a bar code or GS1 EPC tag.

Regular expression

Regular expression regex or regexp (sometimes called a rational expression) is, in theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a sequence of characters that define a search pattern. Usually this pattern is then used by string searching algorithms for ""find"" or ""find and replace"" operations on strings, or for input validation. The concept arose in the 1950s when the American mathematician Stephen Cole Kleene formalized the description of a regular language. The concept came into common use with Unix text-processing utilities. Since the 1980s, different syntaxes for writing regular expressions exist, one being the POSIX standard and another, widely used, being the Perl syntax. Regular expressions are used in search engines, search and replace dialogs of word processors and text editors, in text processing utilities such as sed and AWK and in lexical analysis. Many programming languages provide regex capabilities, built-in or via libraries. Gateway types.

Note: In Babelway, we're using the standard Java version of REGEX, and it's the same used all over the system.

Remove from loop

Replication mode

Replication mode lookup table entries are synchronized among all messaging engine servers. In a normal situation (when all servers are available and able to communicate), all entries are guaranteed to be correct, regardless where messages are processed. The 'Replication mode' parameter controls the synchronization during stress periods, like the network disconnection of one of the servers. The 'loose' mode is fault tolerant, this means that the messages processing will not be interrupted. However, there is very little chance of inaccuracy. When the reconnection occurs, the system performs consistency checks and creates an alert if an entry was modified independently by 2 messaging engine servers. The 'strict' mode guarantees the accuracy of the entries. This mode implies that message processing will fail if the entry update cannot be replicated immediately to all messaging engine servers. Use this for exact counters, like invoice number. This Default is 'loose'. Lookup table detail - General.

Root certificate

Root certificate in cryptography and computer security, a root certificate is a public key certificate that identifies a root certificate authority (CA). Root certificates are self-signed and form the basis of an X.509-based public key infrastructure (PKI). Either it has matched Authority Key Identifier with Subject Key Identifier, in some cases there is no Authority Key identifier, then Issuer string should match with Subject string (RFC5280). For instance, the PKIs supporting HTTPS for secure web browsing and electronic signature schemes depend on a set of root certificates. Trust new certificate.

Routing condition (regular expression)

Routing condition (regular expression) that the selected metadata must match to satisfy the routing rule. and also we can use xpath in the routing condition by xpath: in the beginning of the routing rule. Routing detail.

Routing metadata

Routing metadata tells which metadata will be used for testing the condition. For example, the metadata com_babelway_messaging_context_mail_subject when been selected. This means that the rule will be satisfied if the subject of the email used to receive the message matches the following expression in the Condition (regular expression). If you want that your condition applies on the whole message, select com_babelway_messaging_context_message. Routing detail.

Routing priority

Routing priority tells in which order the rules will be evaluated. The system first evaluates rules that have the lowest priority. The evaluation of the rules is stopped as soon as the condition of a rule is satisfied, and the system chooses the next element notified in this rule. Routing detail.

Routing rules

Routing rules is created when 2 or more channels share the same incoming sequence. The routing rule defines the conditions to route a message towards a channel or the other. Routing detail.

RSA

RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is one of the first public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. In such a cryptosystem, the encryption key is public and it is different from the decryption key which is kept secret (private). In RSA, this asymmetry is based on the practical difficulty of the factorization of the product of two large prime numbers, the "factoring problem". The acronym RSA is made of the initial letters of the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, who first publicly described the algorithm in 1978. Gateway types.

S/MIME

S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standard for public key encryption and signing of MIME data. S/MIME is on an IETF standards track and defined in a number of documents, most importantly RFC 3369, 3370, 3850 and 3851. It was originally developed by RSA Data Security Inc. and the original specification used the IETF MIME specification with the de facto industry standard PKCS#7 secure message format. Change control to S/MIME has since been vested in the IETF and the specification is now layered on Cryptographic Message Syntax, an IETF specification that is identical in most respects with PKCS #7. S/MIME functionality is built into the majority of modern email software and interoperates between them. Extra Processing on Message Definition IN.
