What is AS3?
AS3, or Applicability Statement 3, is a specification by which applications communicate EDI data, or other information such as XML documents, securely over the Internet using the FTP protocol. It was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to address specific FTP connection problems.
AS3 is not the successor to AS2, as it offers distinct features.
The benefits of AS3
• End-to-end data encryption
• SSL encryption and hashing
• Legally prove transaction details
• Confirmations and MDN
• Large file transfer
• Any data type including non-EDI payloads
Compare AS3 and FTP
Industry mandates directing the use of one protocol or technology versus another often arise from the history of implementation, industry use, and market penetration. To illustrate, we’ll compare two communications protocols:
FTP does not provide receipt confirmation, but provides slight advantages in terms of message size and speed
AS3 advances over FTP is in non-repudiation with the use of receipts, or Message Disposition Notifications (MDNs) and digital signatures - a way to verify the receipt and identity
