INTRODUCTION

VirtualSAFE™ provides a secure processing environment that allows users to seamlessly carry out online transactions without having to provide sensitive personal information such as address, credit card number, or phone number. Acting as a trusted third party or TrustBROKER, VirtualSAFE mediates transactions between customers, merchants, payment processors, shippers and other e-commerce partners.

VirtualSAFE provides users control over their personal information and works in compliance with the privacy and data protection legislations in the US (HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) Canada (PIPEDA/Bill C-6), the EU, Japan and Australia.

VirtualSAFE is comprised of a remote multi-tiered Authentication Authority (AA) infrastructure. This framework makes it possible to enable extremely powerful security functions over conventional and wireless networks, and it applies to processing electronic data and transactions, authenticating users, providing network access and building secure transaction and communications layers.
