This Technical Specification defines a set of roles and their associated interfaces and behaviour. The intent of these interfaces and behaviour is to support the transmission of electronic messages between software systems at two distinct organizations. The specification has a number of key constraints, notably:(a) The specification is intended for transmission of messages from a sender to an identified receiver. The specification is not intended to provide repository capability or to deliver messages to an unknown, to-be-nominated recipient.(b) The specification does not constrain the message payload, defining only the control and routing information necessary to transmit the message in a safe and secure manner.(c) The specification does not attempt to capture the business processes or business services of the parties, defining only the externally visible behaviour necessary to implement interconnected messaging.While it is expected that the Secure Message Delivery mechanism will have many applications, these constraints should be considered when determining if this specification is suitable for a particular purpose.
