I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ediint-compression-03.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Compressed Data for EDIINT
	Author(s)	: T. Harding
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ediint-compression-03.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 2004-2-3
	
The intent of this document is to be placed on the RFC track as an 
Informational RFC.

The EDIINT AS1 and AS2 message formats don't currently contain any 
transport neutral provisions for compressing data when utilizing S/MIME
as the secure packaging standard. Compressing data before transmission 
provides a number of advantages including

1. reducing data redundancy, and so reducing opportunities for attacks
exploiting redundancy, and
2. reducing the amount of data and so speeding up cryptographic
processing such as signing, encryption, archiving, and 
3. reducing the overall transmitted message size, reducing both time and
bandwidth needed for transport.

RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ediint-compression-03.txt


As for AS.2 and AS.3, I think section '1.2 Structure of an EDI MIME message utilizing compression' could be
enhanced with a bit of text to explain how RFCs are used.

But more important, it seems that Transfer Encoding diserves a discussion: mail infrastructures (AS.1)
require 7 bit data, so base64 encoding, while HTTP (AS.2) restricts it. This issue is raised for the cases
where the MIME layer directly containing the compressedData is not encapsulated within another layer.

Regards.
