The EDI over Internet (EDIINT) working group will recommend standards which facilitate "EDI interoperability over Internet - Now" during the third quarter of 1996. Two of the many requirements are the implementation of encryption and signature for EDI transactions using existing standards/products, such as: MOSS, S/MIME, PGP/MIME and DMS. These four standards/products "generally" fit the needs of the EDIINT effort. We must choose those that best fit our requirements. A Comparison Matrix compares the products/standards across over 30 technical and business areas. Please take time to contribute your expertise to the effort by commenting on the existing information. This matrix is the basis for determining which security products/standards/algorithms to use for EDI over Internet. The matrix is also a significant tool for selling our final recommendation to EDI business product development management. The comparison matrix is in html format at http://ftp.sterling.com/edi/ietf-ediint/decision.html. Thank you.
