Security example

The edfiso9735-41 type tree contains service segment definitions for packaging and security along with any updates to the CONTRL message.

The security segments provide EDIFACT structures with the security service of confidentiality for example encryption, compression, filter, digital signatures, etc. The message body or package is not governed by EDI message syntax rules and cannot be validated as a typical EDI message. Although it is possible to detach and decrypt the data which could be validated using the usual EDI syntax and the Supply Chain EDI compliance checking.

The input definition used for the example security also uses packages and is defined as UTF-8 to ensure binary data is processed preserving the original data.

The output definition for the EDIFACT package object is defined as UTF-8.
