Following the public consultation in 2023, the eDelivery team made substantial revisions to the first initial 2.0 draft specifications based on feedback and internal analysis.  This This collaborative process led to refinements in the draft specifications for the eDelivery AS4 2.0 and eDelivery SMP 2.0 profiles. This included incorporating advancements in cryptography to leverage the best available security measures. To refine the security aspects, the team has also incorporated input from a cryptography expert.

Notably, the feedback and analysis also necessitated adjustments to the BDXL and ebCore Party Id profiles to ensure complete consistency across the entire eDelivery framework.As  As a result, we have published the second drafts of all four eDelivery profiles: AS4 | , SMP | , BDXL | and ebCore Party Id. The revised draft profiles were presented during the February meeting of the Interoperability Forum, a group dedicated to vendors who build eDelivery-compliant products. For details, see the meeting minutes.

The new profiles' 2024 draft specifications were published released for the public consultation (8 March - 8 April 2024). This second public consultation on profile 2.0 drafts yielded minimal feedback, which yielded few comments. The eDelivery team interprets this minimal feedback as a general endorsement of the proposed changes, which were refined following an initial consultation and input from a standards editor. With . With the proposals considered robust and ready for the next stage, the eDelivery team is now confident in moving forward with the revised specifications.
