What is AS2?
AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a standard for sending EDI and other business files securely over the internet. Each file is encrypted and digitally signed, and the receiver sends back a signed receipt called an MDN (Message Disposition Notification) to prove it arrived intact. Because there is no network in the middle, AS2 has no per-document network fees — which is why large retailers and manufacturers prefer it.
