Last time, we talked about the benefits of AS2 and why you might need it for your business. In order to transact through AS2, you'll need an AS2 server. In this article, we will go into more detail about what an AS2 server is and why it might be a good choice for your organization.

When you’re troubleshooting connectivity issues between Secure Shell (SSH)/Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) clients and servers, it pays to inspect the error messages generated on both sides of a connection. Those messages often provide vital clues about the problem. If your error messages involve the Diffie-Hellman-Group1-SHA1 key exchange algorithm, you’ll want to stick around. In the succeeding sections, we’ll be discussing the underlying cause of this particular issue and how to fix it.

Overview The strength of an encryption largely depends on two components: 1) the cipher and 2) the length of the key. We already discussed key lengths in an older post. So today, let's talk about the other component.

Overview If your AS2 connection already runs over HTTPS, your EDI messages should already be protected by the data-in-motion encryption that comes with SSL/TLS. But what if you want an added layer of security or if you're somehow only using HTTP and want to encrypt your transmission? You'll need something like this.

Overview: What is an SSL File Transfer? SSL file transfer is a term sometimes used in referring to a secure file transfer protocol known as FTPS or FTP-SSL. FTP is a network protocol used for transferring files, while SSL is a protocol for encrypting information sent over a network. This post is meant to help users understand what FTPS is and what it is capable of doing, particularly in terms of enhancing the security of your file transfers. We can also show and tell when you request a free trial.

Overview Let's say you want to install an SSH FTP server (SFTP) on a Linux machine devoid of a GUI. However, after installation, you don't want to configure it (add users, create keys, enable public key authentication, choose algorithms, etc.) locally, moreso via the SFTP client. Instead, you want this SFTP server to be configured remotely through a graphical Web user interface. This is how we recommend you do it.

An Overview of HMAC Data integrity checks are vital to secure communications. They enable communicating parties to verify the integrity and authenticity of the messages they receive. In secure file transfer protocols like FTPS, SFTP, and HTTPS, data integrity/message authentication is usually achieved through a mechanism known as HMAC (Hash-based message authentication code). In this post, we explain what HMAC is, its basic inner workings, and how it secures data transfers.

Internet content adaptation protocol (ICAP) antivirus scanning, enabled within JSCAPE MFT Server by Redwood, offloads virus detection to a dedicated server, boosting system efficiency and security. It allows real-time malware checks and enhances compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) without the local system's burden. This method ensures secure, seamless file transfers across all protocols, which simplifies administration and maintains up-to-date protection. One of the key features of JSCAPE MFT Server by Redwood is the ability to support ICAP antivirus scanning. But what is it? How can it benefit your end-users, trading partners and system administrators? How does it compare to traditional file transfer virus scanning solutions? In this blog post, we answer these questions and more. ICAP benefits ICAP, as defined in RFC 3507, allows JSCAPE MFT Server to offload virus scanning tasks to a dedicated ICAP server, enhancing security policies without burdening the local server with the heavy lifting. This advanced scanning method enables real-time antivirus checks by forwarding HTTP messages to an ICAP service for evaluation.

TOTP or Time-based One Time Password is an algorithm that factors in the current time to generate a unique one-time password. It is increasingly becoming an option for 2-factor authentication (where it is typically used alongside username/password authentication) in secure cloud / web-based applications.

The security of any SSL/TLS-protected connection largely depends on the client and server's choice of cipher suites. But what are cipher suites? If you use file transfer protocols like HTTPS, FTPS, and AS2 but don't know what cipher suites are, you will want to read this post and learn how to use a cipher.
