AS1 (Applicability Statement 1)
AS1 (Applicability Statement 1) is a specification for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
communications between businesses using e-mail protocols. The specification has been largely
superseded by Applicability Statement 2 (AS2). Both
specifications were created by EDI over the Internet (EDIINT), a working group of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) for
developing secure and reliable business communications standards.
The AS1 standard provides S/MIME (Secure
Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions) and uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to
transmit data using e-mail. Security, authentication, message integrity, and privacy are assured by
the use of encryption and
digital
signatures. Another important feature, nonrepudiation,
makes it impossible for the intended recipient of a message to deny having received it.
An Internet connection capable of sending and receiving e-mail, an EDI transfer engine, and digital
certificates are required for data exchange using AS1. Almost any type of data can be
transmitted.
