RE: AS2 security protocol

["Dick Brooks" <dick () tech-comm com>]

Malte,

You should be able to utilize existing HTTP filtering functions because AS2
uses HTTP as a "carrier" and most of the "header" data is passed as HTTP
headers.  If you have to scrutinize the "payload" you will have other
challenges because the data is "usually" encrypted.

Hi there,

has anyone of you experiences in firewalling th AS2 protocol?
It seems to be a protocol to securely exchange documents via http.
Nothing special if you use packet filters, but how about proxies and
things like the Cisco PIX "fixup"-feature?

> From my knowledge and understanding i would say "no problem, since it
only regards the payload", but some other opinions would be helpful.

TIA && regards,

Malte.
