How does FIX relate to the Internet?
The Internet is already used for FIX-based trading. Counterparties using the Internet typically encrypt their FIX communications, using methods such as SSL or STunnel. Over time, the Internet will likely be used even more as a transport medium for FIX messages. Providers of FIX message hubs, for example, are planning to allow Internet connections to their hubs. The development of FIX-based web services is also expected.
