Abstract :
The electronic data interchange over the Internet (EDI-INT) standards provide a secure means of transporting EDI and XML business documents over the Internet. EDI-INT includes different implementation protocols that work over the Internet´s three major transports - SMTP, HTTP, and FTP. Each uses secure multipurpose Internet mail extensions (S/MIME), digital signatures, encryption, and message-receipt validation to ensure the necessary security for business-to-business communications.
