2018: Support for digital signature standard in BarsUP.Anypoint Gateway

On August 31, 2018, BARS Group announced that its product BarsUP.Anypoint Gateway now supports the digital signature standard according to GOST 34.10-2012.

BarsUP.Anypoint Gateway is designed to administer services, manage sharing, and configure security order. In general, the platform is a means of implementing a single gateway for the integration of information systems, which implements integration for customers of services through a single point. BarsUP.Anypoint Gateway already successfully operates within the framework of the Unified State Health Information System (EGISZ), integrates more than 150 systems, 200 services and processes an average of 8 million requests per day.

Also, with the help of BarsUP.Anypoint Gateway, authentication and authorization of service clients is now carried out according to the introduced rules according to FSB order No. 149/7/1/3-58 from 31.01.2014, on the basis of which federal and regional executive authorities undertake to use the digital signature standard from January 1, 2019.

The creation of the system was a response to the growth in the number of information services that are integrated with each other. Each of the services must independently identify and authorize the consumer, check his digital signature, and then, applying the necessary policies, begin to interact with him. With the growth of the number of services and the connections between them, the increase in the load on them by external consumers, the complexity of administering each of these services increases dramatically. The use of a common information bus (ESB) is often accompanied by slowing down and increasing the likelihood of failures. Empirically, it was found that processing more than 100 requests per minute slows down the integration bus, and increasing requests to 200 per minute and above can lead to an emergency.

BarsUP.Anypoint Gateway minimizes the amount of time required to ensure loop security, such as routing, signing, request integrity, service client authorization, and platform scalability provides high availability for heavy workloads.
