- Prototypes of VAN EDI services suggest that companies seeking to use this form of Web EDI will pay a modest start-up fee to the VAN and a monthly subscription fee entitling them to a specified number of transactions. Additional transactions will be billed on a per-item basis. VANs will also charge hub companies to prepare and post each transaction template to the Web site.
- A digital signature is an electronic code or message attached to a file or document for the intention of authenticating the record. It is attached, by software, in such a manner that if the contents of the message are altered in any way, intentional or accidental, the digital signature is invalidated. Laws governing the creation and use of digital signatures are emerging as business and government recognize they are essential to the growing reliance on electronic commerce.
- In the 1980s, the X.400 standard was created to facilitate the exchange of E-mail messages between different systems. It has become the global E-mail standard. During the 1990s, a subset of the X.400 standard, designated X.435, was created as a standard for distinguishing EDI transaction sets within an ordinary E-mail message.
- SMTP, which provides a common specification for the exchange of E-mail messages between systems and networks, is the method most users unknowingly rely on when transmitting mail over the Internet.
