AS2 Security
Secure EDI document exchange for retailers, suppliers, distributors, logistics teams and ERP-connected operations. SBSA supports AS2 communication so business data can move with encryption, identity verification and receipt control.
EDI communication layer
AS2 is commonly used across EDI programs because it gives trading partners a repeatable way to transmit structured business documents over the internet with encryption, signatures and delivery receipts.
SBSA uses AS2 for secure transmission with business partners. It is a familiar EDI communication method for vendors, retailers, distributors, logistics companies and ERP-connected systems.
AS2 is guided by the Internet Engineering Task Force and defines how structured business data can be exchanged securely between trading partners over the internet.
An AS2 message can include HTTP headers, an encrypted body, a signature package, the functional document and digital signature data, helping partners verify both content and delivery.
Secure workflow
The page focuses on the role AS2 plays in retail compliance: protecting document transmission while giving partners confidence that the exchange happened correctly.
EDI business data is packaged for partner exchange before transmission.
The message is protected so the receiver can trust the sender and the content.
The encrypted package is sent through the AS2 communication route.
Receipt handling supports non-repudiation and trading partner compliance.
Retail compliance
AS2 is often part of retailer EDI requirements. When communication is not configured correctly, vendors can face compliance issues, delays or chargeback risk. SBSA helps keep secure partner exchange aligned with operational needs.
