The Drummond Group has confirmed in a recent announcement that AS3 is the recommended data exchange method for large files. Not only does AS3 support large files, but secures the payload and transmission of the data over a secure session for B2B content exchange. Inovis provides secure file transport with certified support of As3 to ensure we can address our customers needs for payroll files, HIPAA data and managed file transfer requirements and are part of the certified solutions for AS3 large files. The increasing file sizes and goals of businesses to improve the security at the edge of the enterprise is a growin trend in the marketplace, as evidenced in the Drummond announcement.
Drummond is not the only organization supporting or recommending EDI-INT for secure transaction management, so is X12. X12 released a recommended implementation guide for securing and exchanging data between organizations via EDI-INT.
What is AS3? AS3 is a secure version of FTP which provides for certificate based encryption and end point management. AS3 also provides for non-repudiation or confirmation of reciept of the file by a given end point or trading partner. To get detailed information on the IETF standard you can get more information online @ http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4823.txt about how you can use standards based communication, instead of legacy FTP scripts and propriatary options.
