A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ediint-as3-04.txt Technical Summary This Applicability Statement (AS) describes how to exchange structured business data securely using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for XML, Binary, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI - ANSI X12 or UN/EDIFACT), or other data used for business-to-business data interchange for which MIME packaging can be accomplished using standard MIME content-types. Authentication and data confidentiality are obtained by using Cryptographic Message Syntax (S/MIME) security body parts. Authenticated acknowledgements employ multipart/signed replies to the original message. Working Group Summary This document was once considered a candidate for Proposed Standard status. It is instead being evaluated for publication as an Informational RFC to document existing implementations as the level of participation in the EDIINT working group has decreased significantly over time. Protocol Quality Scott Hollenbeck has reviewed this specification for the IESG. Multiple implementations have been described in working group mailing list discussions.
