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

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.
