This whitepaper describes AS2 message format, configuration and steps to implement B2B integration solution using AS2 protocol in Boomi.
AS2: AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a popular protocol to transmit data securely and reliably over the internet. AS2 supports the encryption of messages that are then exchanged with trading partners and vendors via HTTPS. These messages are built using the S/MIME format.
