1. Secure Data Transmission EDI-INT AS1, AS2, AS3 Kevin Grant

2. Goals of this Presentation Understanding Security Mechanisms Understanding Applicability Statements –MDNs –Secure Transmission Loop –AS1, AS2, AS3 Product Certification

3. AS1/AS2/AS3 Standards Applicability Statements 1 (AS1), 2 (AS2), & 3 (AS3) are the current specifications developed by EDI-INT for transporting data via the Internet. AS Standards specify how to exchange data, not how to process data. –AS1 defines how to perform secure file transfers via SMTP –AS2 defines how to perform secure file transfers via HTTP –AS3 defines how to perform secure file transfers via FTP Specify Security Services over a Specific Communication protocol with the introduction of Message Disposition Notifications (MDNs) to complete the Secure Transmission Loop

4. AS1/AS2/AS3 Options Encrypted or not encrypted Signed or unsigned Receipt or no receipt Receipt signed, or not signed

5. AS1/AS2/AS3 Message Flow Outgoing Message SMTP/ HTTP/ FTP Recipient Signed MDN back to sender with hash Message Encrypted with Recipient’s Public Key Signature/Hash Applied and Encrypted with Sender’s Private Key Signature/hash Decrypted with Sender’s Public Key Message Decrypted with Recipient’s Private Key Document hash is computed Computed hash compared with transmitted hash Incoming Message Validated

6. Security Mechanisms Three basic building blocks are used: Encryption is used to provide confidentiality, can provide authentication and integrity protection Hash algorithms are used to provide integrity protection, can provide authentication Digital signatures are used to provide authentication, integrity protection, and non- repudiation One or more security mechanisms are combined to provide a security service

7. Security Protocol A typical security protocol provides one or more services Services are built from mechanisms Mechanisms are implemented using algorithms

8. Hash Functions Hashing is the transformation of a string of characters into a shorter fixed-length value or key that represents the original string. It is used to index and retrieve items in a database because it is faster to find the item using the shorter hashed key than to find it using the original value.

9. Hash Functions It is also used in many encryption algorithms. –Creates a unique “fingerprint” or message digest. –Anyone can alter the data and calculate a new hash value –Message digest has to be protected in some way

10. Public-key Encryption Uses matched public/private key pairs (Asymmetric) Anyone can encrypt with the public key, only one person can decrypt with the private key

11. Cryptography – Digital Signatures Here’s where the public-key algorithm and the hashing algorithm work together:

12. Certificates A certificate is a public key that has been digitally signed by a trusted third party –Certificate Authority (CA). A Certification Authority (CA) guarantees a public key’s authenticity

13. MDNs (Message Disposition Notifications) Document acknowledgment –Non-repudiation of delivery (confirms the document WAS received and by whom) –Confirms that the recipient was able to decrypt –Gives a status message, as appropriate Contains the receiver’s computed hash for comparison against the one originally sent with the message MDN may be signed by the recipient of the original message Defined by your trading partner (optional)

14. MDN Request Headers The MDN is requested by the “Disposition- Notification-To” field found in the message header: From: mrAS2@as2.com AS2-Version: 1.1 AS2-From: AS2SENDER AS2-To: AS2RECEIVER Subject: G1 Test Case Message-Id: Disposition-Notification-To: mrAS2@as2.com Receipt-Delivery-Option: mailto:AS2@as2.com Disposition-Notification-Options: signed-receipt- protocol=optional,pkcs7-signature; signed-receipt-micalg=optional,sha1 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="as2BouNdary1as2"; protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1

15. MDN Request Headers The “Receipt-Delivery-Option” field is used to request MDNs in an asynchronous manner. If this field is not present, the MDN is returning via the active HTTP session (AS2): From: mrAS2@as2.com AS2-Version: 1.1 AS2-From: AS2SENDER AS2-To: AS2RECEIVER Subject: G1 Test Case Message-Id: Disposition-Notification-To: mrAS2@as2.com Receipt-Delivery-Option: mailto:AS2@as2.com Disposition-Notification-Options: signed-receipt- protocol=optional,pkcs7-signature; signed-receipt-micalg=optional,sha1 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="as2BouNdary1as2"; protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1

16. MDN Request Headers The “Disposition-Notification-Options” field determines whether the MDN is to be signed and identifies the preferred hash algorithm (SHA-1 or MD5): From: mrAS2@as2.com AS2-Version: 1.1 AS2-From: AS2SENDER AS2-To: AS2RECEIVER Subject: G1 Test Case Message-Id: Disposition-Notification-To: mrAS2@as2.com Receipt-Delivery-Option: mailto:AS2@as2.com Disposition-Notification-Options: signed-receipt- protocol=optional,pkcs7-signature; signed-receipt- micalg=optional,sha1 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="as2BouNdary1as2"; protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1

17. The “Secure Transmission Loop” (STL) The originator sends a signed and encrypted document with a request for a signed receipt. The recipient decrypts the document, verifies the signature, and returns a signed receipt to the sender.

18. The “STL” In More Detail Sender signs and encrypts the data using S/MIME and sends requesting a signed receipt. Receiver decrypts the message and verifies the signature, resulting in verified integrity of the data and authenticity of the sender. The receiving organization returns a signed receipt (message disposition notification). This signed receipt contains the hash of the message from the received message, so sender knows message was verified and/or decrypted properly.

19. Receiving via AS1/AS2/AS3 (Inbound Documents) 1.Signed/encrypted document is received 2.Document is decrypted (using receiver’s private key) and hash is computed 3.Digital signature is checked to validate sender 4.Transmitted hash is decrypted (using sender’s public key) and compared to the “computed” hash 5.If the hashes are the same, the document is identical to the one transmitted 6.MDN is sent to confirm message status

20. Sending via AS1/AS2/AS3 (Outbound Documents) 1.Document is encrypted (using receiver’s public key) and hash is computed 2.Hash is encrypted (using sender’s private key) and attached to the digital signature block (which may or may not be encrypted) 3.Message (document + signature) is transmitted 4.Partner receives message and attempts to decrypt and validate 5.MDN is received confirming message status

21. AS1/AS2/AS3 Message Flow Outgoing Message SMTP/ HTTP/ FTP Recipient Signed MDN back to sender with hash Message Encrypted with Recipient’s Public Key Signature/Hash Applied and Encrypted with Sender’s Private Key Signature/hash Decrypted with Sender’s Public Key Message Decrypted with Recipient’s Private Key Document hash is computed Computed hash compared with transmitted hash Incoming Message Validated

25. AS2 Certification All ‘standards’ created equal? Based on clear public specifications that enjoy wide usage because of this Certifying commonly-used and well- documented standards causes time delays in implementation and adds unnecessary costs to the end product

26. Drummond Certification Founded in 1999 Drummond Group Inc. (DGI) is a privately held company that conducts interoperability and conformance testing DGI’s role is to administer the test

27. Open AS2 The OpenAS2 project is a collaborative effort to develop an open source application that implements the EDIINT AS2 Standard Self-paced, performed in-house, and the project itself does not profit from the testing process
