Customer Consumption Logging

A major Slovenian public utility needed an application that would facilitate its customers to insert gas consumption data on its measurement places. We developed a web application to automatically retrieve gas consumption data. This automated data retrieval solution was developed to allow consumers to provide consumption data to the system operator in an electronic and secure way. We put a big effort in application security aspect, since it had to be assured on every communication layer, because confidential information should not be exposed on internet. We will describe technologies that were used realizing this application, which security protocols were implemented and how to provide security. This project aims for a secure web application that is integrated with the existing system, it securely communicates via web service and allows access and consumption data insertion to authorized users only
