Description

Remote software updates protect against counterfeit money

G+D Currency Technology has contracted RTSoft to code the agent for automated remote software updates and data exchange for BPS C2 banknote processing systems with central dashboards.

Key facts

  • Develop a cross-platform data exchange and software update agent
  • Programmed in C
  • Utilizes a cross-platform framework
  • Option to port device logic to different OS
  • Slim data exchange between target application and communication agent
  • Secure M2M application layer implementation for data exchange with clouds and servers
  • Rule engine for dashboard feeds via that channel
  • Local software update agent logic
  • Future option to port transport layer to TCP/TLS

Solution

The data exchange now relies on secure M2M communication with private and public clouds as well as on-premises servers. The agent was designed on the basis of a cross-platform framework. Future updates to different operating systems are seamlessly possible. Today, G+D Currency Technology can update several hundred banknote processing systems extremely fast with only a few clicks at any available bandwidth. Another important aspect for G+D was the plug & play functionality of the RTSoft solution, which does not require any on-site configuration during commissioning to activate the 24/7 monitoring system and update channel. For local maintenance services, the agent also offers a side channel for updates via USB
