I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ediint-as2-11.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: HTTP Transport for Secure Peer-to-Peer Business Data 
                          Interchange over the Internet

This document describes how to exchange structured business data
securely using HTTP transport for Electronic Data Interchange,
(EDI - either the American Standards Committee X12 or UN/EDIFACT,
Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and
Transport), XML or other data used for business to business data
interchange. The data is packaged using standard MIME
content-types. Authentication and privacy are obtained by using
Cryptographic Message Syntax (S/MIME) or OpenPGP security body
parts. Authenticated acknowledgements make use of
multipart/signed replies to the HTTP POST requests.
This document extends the procedures and payload packaging options
of AS1 in the following ways: HTTPS may be used to obtain data,
privacy both synchronous and asynchronous reply procedures are,
described multipart/form-data packaging may be used, a generalized
multipart/report format is added to the MDN format of AS1, replies
may include a multipart/mixed payload that contains both the
acknowledgement and an additional EDI payload.
This document is intended to be read in conjunction with AS1 and
the referenced RFCs defining the MIME and cryptographic
packaging that are used to obtain secure, authenticated, and
acknowledged transport.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
