RE: AS3?....

Well, if we entertain the idea of support for FTP in future versions of
ebXML, 
we will need to support certainly transport level security of ebXML message 
over FTP. There are secure FTP impls out there. Reliable message delivery 
would be another aspect to fact in w.r.t. FTP. Non-repudiation would be 
another aspect. Ofcourse, the SOAP message enveloping scheme of 
ebXML may be enhanced to provide some transport independent 
authenticatioin scheme in the future.

I strongly suggest we take up the issue of demand.  Cyclone has been
servicing market demand for this capability for several years in production
hardened environments and would be happy to argue in favor of FTP as a valid
transport for EDIINT.
 
Alternatively, the role of FTP within the ebXML standard could be elevated
to achieve the same desired functionality with the advantage of what ebXML
brings to the table.
 
Either way, the absence of FTP as a transport for secure B2B messaging is an
obvious hole.  FTP is a valid transport with an enormous amount of existing
infrastructure - it ought to be elevated in the appropriate standards, be it
EDIINT, ebXML, or both.
 
I'm happy to actively participate in any initiatives in this regard.
Cheers,
-Greg.

There is no proposed AS3 standard.  On several occasions, vendor's have
requested an AS3 standard based upon FTP.  Thus far, we have not seen enough
end-user demand to proceed with this, but if such demand becomes evident, we
could.

Anyone know what is proposed for AS3. Trailblazer Systems is implementing
FTP with S/MIME. They also mention AS3 on their web site as a proposed
standard: http://www.as400ftp.com/latestnews_detail.cfm?number=2
<http://www.as400ftp.com/latestnews_detail.cfm?number=2> 

I can't find anything about this proposed standard anywhere except for the
mention on the page indicated above.
