Transmission standard OSCI transport

Governikus COM Tauri enables secure data exchange via OSCI 1.2, as required by a wide range of laws and regulations, e.g. in registration, electronic legal transactions and much more. Currently, almost 1 billion OSCI messages are exchanged annually throughout Germany via the Governikus OSCI intermediary, which is operated in the federal, state and municipal data centers.

OSCI supports the protection of personal data as well as data integrity through strong end-to-end encryption and the use of electronic signatures. The necessary data structures for receipt mechanisms with time stamps are also defined by OSCI. Similar to "registered mail with return receipt", the receipt and retrieval of messages can thus be proven without gaps.

COM Tauri implements the freely available OSCI library and extends it with additional functionalities.

Furthermore, there are integration possibilities to the solutions Governikus COM Despina and Governikus COM Vibilia as well as EGVP Enterprise and Governikus MultiMessenger.
