Used worldwide, OFTP2 is tailored to the specific communications requirements of automotive industry stakeholders, large and small. At a time when cost is more important than ever, OFTP2 enables fast, flawless and secure transmission over the public internet avoiding the need to set up expensive VPN connections. The Odette OFTP2 Expert Group continuously monitors evolutions in communications technology to ensure that the protocol remains at the leading edge and incorporates any new security requirements.
OFTP2 is recommended by the major automotive companies in Europe who greatly appreciate the multilingual expert support provided by real skilled people and the Odette Team stands ready to support new users who need to implement OFTP2.
Get started with OFTP2
To begin using OFTP2, your organisation will require:
- An OFTP2 software from an Odette trusted provider
- An OFTP2 station identifier (aka Odette ID)
- A digital certificate from a Certification Authority (CA) listed on the Odette Trust Service Status List (TSL)
OFTP2 software
The success of the protocol has resulted in the availability of OFTP2 software packages across the world. To ensure that these different software packages respect the Odette specification and can communicate successfully with each other, Odette operates an OFTP2 Software Interoperability Testing Service. Only products which pass all Odette Test Cases successfully can be included in the Odette list of tested software.
OFTP2 Station Identifier
OFTP2 stations must be uniquely identified on the world-wide internet. Odette is officially recognised by ISO as an issuing agency for such globally unique codes and the Odette ID Service provides a more affordable and more flexible ID system than many other internationally recognised ID providers.
Digital Certificates
Odette provides digital certificates which are designed for use with OFTP2. The Odette Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is continuously maintained to ensure that our certificates are signed with the latest state of the art algorithms, making them future proof and fully in line with automotive company security requirements and guidelines issued by information security organisations such as the Federal Office for Information Security (BIS) in Germany and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US.
The high level of extended validation practiced by the Odette CA means that major automotive companies recommend it to their business partners as the preferred CA for the automotive industry.
Odette Certificates are competitively priced and are used by 1000s of companies across the world. They enable file encryption and decryption, proof of origin (non-repudiation) and integrity checking ensuring the level of security and confidentiality that business partners demand.
