We hope you are all staying safe (and sane) during these times.

Read below to keep up to date with the many activities happening at FINOS.

Secure Electron Adapter (SEA) CONTRIBUTION

The Secure Electron Adapter (SEA) was contributed to FINOS by FINOS member ChartIQ a couple of weeks ago. SEA provides an easy way to secure applications running in Electron - a container for building desktop applications with web technology - making its use appropriate for financial institutions. It acts as a firewall, intermediating API calls within a permission structure that mitigates the risk of running third party content in a desktop container. If you were unable to attend the FINOS Virtual "Meetup" on SEA this week, here are the links to Kris West and Ian Mesner's video and slides about "How to Secure the Electron Container for Capital Markets."
