Leaving highly classified and for whom kinda questions aside, I must say it's the software that the good guys SWIFT (http://swift.com) use to run the global financial network.

The SWIFT Network has no real alternatives and entire countries teeter towards bankruptcies when they're banned from using it.

The last time the US banned Iran, Iran reportedly lost $100M; everyday!
