[ebxml-msg] RE: AS3?....

Title: 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

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