CEF eDelivery: SML 3.1 Release Candidate Out Now

European Commission, 2017


The European Commission is happy to announce the upgrade of the sample implementation of the SML 3.1 software in order to fully support the CEF eDelivery SML specification.

The CEF eDelivery building block helps users to exchange electronic data and documents with one another in a reliable and trusted way.

CEF eDelivery is based on a distributed model called the “4-corner model”. In this model, the back-end systems of the users don’t exchange data directly with each other but do this through Access Points. These Access Points are conformant to the same technical specifications and are therefore capable of communicating with each other. As a result of this, users adopting CEF eDelivery can easily and safely exchange data even if their IT systems were developed independently from each other.

This release includes the following improvements:

  • Added detection of data inconsistency between database and DNS in the SML
  • Fix for changing a Non RootCA certificate
  • Improved certificate validation messages
  • Fixed malformed logical address while creating new SMP
  • Improved data model for domains
  • Fix for creating NAPTR records with HTTPS
