Definition of EDI-INT

EDI-INT is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Working Group that exists to document the requirements and best practices for secure, interoperable EDI. The EDI-INT Requirements document contains sufficient background material to give the EDI community an explanation of any Internet-related issues.

The EDI-INT Requirements and Applicability Statements are general in nature, so they can be applied to all types of eBusiness transfers across nonsecure networks. The message payload itself does not have to be EDI. The data being transferred can be in the form of Extensible Markup Language (XML) business documents or any other data format.
