What is EDIINT AS2?
EDIINT (EDI over the Internet) is a set of communication protocols, introduced by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) in 1995, used to securely transmit data securely over the Internet. One version of EDIINT is AS2, or EDIINT, Applicability Statement 2. The UCC (Uniform Code Council) has facilitated the development and interoperability testing of the AS2 standard. AS2 supports EDI or other data file transmissions over the Internet using HTTP. AS2 is a specification about how to transport data, not how to validate or process the content of the data. AS2 specifies the means to connect, deliver, validate and receive data in a secure and reliable way. AS2 is an Internet Protocol based solution that uses standard HTTP communications to transmit data.
