LONDON -- MuleSource (www.mulesource.com), the leading provider of open source infrastructure and integration software, announced today a technology partnership with Codel, the innovative supplier of digital data authentication technology. Codel has created different adaptors for Mule and these are now available for immediate download from the MuleForge (www.muleforge.com), enabling easier real-time connectivity of enterprise applications to the Mule enterprise service bus.

Codel provides a data authentication service that proves the authenticity of any digital data file ranging from the content of electronic financial transaction messages to music files. In addition to the functionality that the ESB gives Mule customers, they can click straight through to Codel to authenticate the data stored within the Mule application, thus enabling customers to maintain compliance and run their businesses more efficiently.

Ensuring the privacy and integrity of confidential information about customers, transactions and products is a critical business and a legal requirement. Nowhere is this greater than in industries such as the financial services sector which is faced with increasing compliance and regulatory legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley.

"The partnership with MuleSource will enable worldwide users of Mule to benefit from new standards of data authentication and security" comments Bob Hill, Chief Technology Officer, Codel. "Combining Mule, the world's leading open source ESB and integration platform, with the innovative Codelmarking service delivers new standards of data authentication."
