AS2 encryption
AS2 provides data-in-motion encryption in two ways. The first is through its built-in AS2 encryption. The second is through HTTPS. So, if you use AS2’s built-in encryption, you can send your AS2 messages through unencrypted HTTP, and your messages will already be protected from man-in-the-middle attacks. However, for double protection, you can layer that built-in encryption with dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784938″>TLS encryption by sending your AS2 file transfers through HTTPS.
Both methods—built-in AS2 encryption and HTTPS-based encryption—use dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784933″>private key pairs.

In AS2, encryption is optional. You may or may not enable it when you configure AS2.
Data integrity
Upon receiving a file at the end of a file transfer, you might want to verify that it is intact and wasn’t tampered along the way. This can be achieved through data integrity checks.
AS2 data integrity
AS2 ensures data integrity by employing dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784935″>algorithms such as MD5, SHA-1, and SHA2. Before sending out an AS2 message, the sender runs the message through a dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784919″>function. It then sends the message together with the resulting dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784954″>hash, the recipient runs the same message through the same dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784935″>algorithm.

This will enable the sending party to confirm that the AS2 transfer went through without issues.
dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784926″>firewall is one of the most fundamental cybersecurity solutions. Every business will normally have a dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784926″>firewall.

You need to know what ports to open to prevent dropdown#toggle” data-dropdown-placement-param=”top” data-term-id=”292784926″>firewall considerations
AS2 runs over HTTP or HTTPS. The standard ports for these protocols are port 80 and port 443, respectively. So you just need to open either one of those ports, depending on which underlying protocol you’re using for your AS2 connections. That shouldn’t be a problem since these port numbers need to be open for users to connect to websites.

When should you use AS2?
In many cases, your decision to use AS2 will not be a matter of choice but of necessity. Many large enterprises, such as Walmart, Unilever, and General Motors, either require or recommend the use of AS2. If you wish to transact with them, you’ll need to adopt AS2.
Some industries indirectly require AS2 as well.
