Why use marti
marti is a framework for providing a degree of auditability and reconciliation of documents transferred between systems in an organisation and externally. It does not intend define the format or content of the document. It defines controls that can be used to:
- verify source
- identify unauthorized alterations (tampering)
- reconcile agreed metrics, such as the number of records
- ensure sequential processing
- describe metadata including format, extract time
- link to further information
You would use marti if any of the controls are a requirement for you.
Documents
Documents in this context are digital storage objects such as operating system files, cloud storage objects or blobs. The document content has structure and contains multiple records.
The marti framework is not intended to be used for single record transfers such as in single web transactions. It is for providing controls when moving large amounts of data as one event. This data are commonly referred to as batch extracts and performed at scheduled times such as end of day.
Security
The framework does not replace your security, inflight encryption or encryption at rest.
You are encouraged to use TLS or SSH to connect devices and transfer documents. Storage encryption and access controls for your documents is also relevant as part of the bigger picture.
