Our framework enables stand alone systems to work together within the Web space. A strong authentication architecture allows extranets to access intranets in an open environment without compromising security. Our approach extends the endpoints to new applications and smaller devices; yet at the same time we can adapt legacy applications into this architecture. Corporations can take advantage of web-based computing to dynamically control access to, and management of, corporate information systems and other digital data that represents for example: state in physical space, door status, room temperatures, camera inputs, etc. Each of our initiatives explores the possibilities expressed by this infrastructure.

It began as an extremely small footprint http stack, originally designed to provide a URL based interface to smartcards, so the smartcards could be accessed more easily from an ordinary web browser. Along the way it grew to provide a more flexible architecture for adding URL based interfaces to arbitrary applications and devices.
