Title: MIME-based Secure Peer-to-Peer Business Data Interchange Using HTTP, Applicability Statement 2 (AS2)
State: Pending
Authors: Dale Moberg, Rik Drummond
Group: Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration (ediint)
Date: 2004-12-15
This document provides a applicability statement (RFC 2026, 3.2) that
describes how to exchange structured business data securely using the HTTP
transfer protocol, instead of SMTP; the applicability statement for SMTP is
found in RFC 3335. Structured business data may be XML, Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) in either the American National Standards Committee
(ANSI) X12 format, or in the UN Electronic Data Interchange for
Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) format, or in other
structured data formats. The data is packaged using standard MIME
structures. Authentication and data confidentiality are obtained by using
Cryptographic Message Syntax with S/MIME security body parts. Authenticated
acknowledgements make use of multipart/signed Message Disposition
Notification (MDN) responses to the original HTTP message. This
applicability statement is informally referred to as "AS2" because it is
the second applicability statement, produced after "AS1," RFC 3335.
