How is the security between PWP hosted remotely and the Pcounter server hosted at the school/library?
PWP communicates with the Pcounter server when authenticating users at the PWP site and retrieving the users current balance, and when updating the Pcounter account balance after a successful user payment. Communication is done over an encrypted SSL connection via the protocol HTTPS on a private port. Firewalls are configured to allow only communication specifically from PWP to the Pcounter server on the specific port used. Please contact us for more technical PWP information.
