Interactive Agent (IA) over a Dedicated Line
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)format

Interactive Agent (IA) is a protocol based on TCIF-98-006 Issue 2, Revision 1 Interactive Agent Functional Specification, Basic EDI message format for establishing secure direct socket connections between machines using digital certificates for authentication. This transport is available through a dedicated (TCP/IP) connection. IA runs on top of SSL3, which provides the basic authentication and encryption services. IA supports the exchange of EDI transactions between trading partners. The IA functions as an interface between Verizon's EDI translator and the CLEC's EDI translator. The underlying structure of the IA is a symmetrical client/server configuration where both the client and server functions are required at each implementation.

This transport is available through the establishment of a VPN net to net connection. Client will provide Verizon with the Peer IP of the VPN appliance along with the remote host IP. For more information concerning the establishment of VPN net to net, please contact connectivity.management.team@verizon.com

Security Requirements: SSL 3 Digital Certificates, (128 BIT or 40 BIT encryption with 1024 BIT key), Firewall Screening.
