From
January 1999, Alnpete was providing business
and technical consultancy on behalf of NatWest
Group Security Services for a number of projects around the NatWest
Group as e-commerce and Internet specialists. Foremost among these was
the development of strategy for the Group Public Key Infrastructure (PKI); design
of security mechanisms, including the use of the Group PKI, for online services;
security risk assessments of various services especially e-commerce, online
banking and those using new delivery channels such as WAP and new technology
such as MetaTrust; and evaluation of tokens for use as authentication devices
in online services. Alnpete was retained
by the Royal Bank of Scotland
Group following their take-over of NatWest
to provide consultancy to the Group
Information Security department until August 2001, especially on security
aspects of the integration of mobile and online banking services.
Alnpete
has also been providing consultancy (in conjunction with InterNetworking
Strategies Limited) on WAP security to Abbey
National, network security to BACS
and authentication to Barclays.
In March 2001 Alnpete was asked by APACS
(Association for Payment
Clearing Services) to perform a feasibility study relating to authentication
of online banking customers, the results of which were presented to the APACS
Electronic Commerce Group in July 2001.
Since then Alnpete
has been providing further consultancy to APACS
in a variety of e-commerce and security related areas.
For example, the Scout Report for Social Sciences, sponsored by the InterNIC said: This site is an excellent example of how researchers can use the internet to present their findings in an engaging manner to both their peers and a more general audience.
