EDI over the Internet

EDI over the Internet (EDIINT) is a working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) enabling the transport of EDI and XML data over the Internet in a secure manner. It is also an alternative data transport to value-added network- (VANs) based data communications between EDI trading partners. It provides the major auditable functions associated with VAN services – mail boxing, trading relationship management, security, authentication and non-repudiation – via software.
