EDI over Internet      16 June 1999
    Work has been done by an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) on standardising the approach to EDI over the Internet (EDIINT). Their documents and mailing list can be found at http://www.imc.org/ietf-ediint/ . This EDIFICE guideline is based on the work of the IETF EDIINT.

Before any secured EDI messages may be transmitted over the Internet both yourselves and your trading partner must:

  1. Own an encryption tool, which is interoperable according to the standards defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and tested by CommerceNet.
  2. Your trading partner and yourselves must have some transport mechanism in place for exchanging messages over an open network, such as Internet email.
  3. Some EDI translator needs to be in place for processing EDI formatted messages such as EDIFACT or ANSI X12. The encryption tool only provides the transport of EDI formatted messages.
  4. To run the encryption software a server will be necessary or a PC for smaller companies with little traffic.

Trading Partner Agreement (TPA)     28 November 2002
EDIFICE established a template Trading Partner Agreement in collaboration with the UN/CEFACT Legal Group, RosettaNet and ESIA/EECA.

The Trading Partner Agreement (TPA) is a contract governing the electronic information exchanges between each pair of trading partners. It is a multipurpose Agreement covering general e-Business services, and contains appendices to specify the technical details required by the parties to the Agreement for secure operation of electronic information exchanges.

The TPA Program has been defined through an international collaboration between representatives of high-tech companies, industry associations and international standardization bodies with interest in a standard TPA covering relevant legal aspects of electronic information exchange. Therefore, the TPA is the result of a global effort for the creation of a worldwide standard TPA that aims at becoming the current tool recommended to govern electronic information exchange.
