How are messages “provably delivered” in X-Wire?
If a message is important enough to require strong encryption and a strong digital signature, it is also important enough to know with certainty it gets delivered to the intended recipient. The Assured Delivery aspect of X-Wire is based on a state of the art, robust messaging middleware solution from IBM (WebSphere MQ). MQ is a robust messaging middleware that acts as a reliable “postman” for all X-Wire messages – this is exponentially more robust than email. X-Wire also possesses the attribute of persistency: regardless of underlying conditions pertaining to local networks, the Internet, or host servers – communications will be delivered once and only once.
