🔐IFSF Standards define messages betweenapplications. Applications are installedon computers (e.g. on-site or off-site(called host)). The messages can bebetween site applications (such as POS-to-EPS or POS-to-FDC) and between hostapplications (such as HOST-to-HOST).

IFSF applications are installed on one ormore hardware component. The physicallocation of the hardware is determinedby specific implementations.

IFSF application message standards areindependent of the network commslayer. IFSF defines a variety of commsstandards (i.e. Lon, TCP-IP v4, TCP-IP v6,HTTP and HTTPS).

IFSF defines messages between siteoperations applications and forecourtequipment.

IFSF defines eight primary site operations applications (Point-of-Service, Controller Device, Unmanned Controller Device, ForecourtDevice Controller, Car Wash Controller, Electronic Payment System,Electronic Loyalty System and Fuel (Wet) Stock Management).

IFSF application message standards aredesigned to enable a variety of sitearchitectures. These include Master-Slave,Client-Server and Peer-to-Peerimplementations, and combinationsof these.

• Part 3-21 IFSF Security Specification• Part 3-29 IFSF Key Management Standard

IFSF Security Standards

IFSF Security Standards define HOW IFSF implements globally recognized standards from a variety of differentorganisations (ISO, ASTM, TD). Many of these standards provide multiple ways of achieving the samefunctionality. E.g. they might define AES encryption using 128, 192 or 256 bits. Clearly applications can notinteroperate if one end sends 128 and the other end has implemented 256. IFSF tries to simplify and aidinteroperability by mandating specific settings. You can access relevant security documents by following the linksbelow.

IFSF Site Network Standards

IFSF Site Network Standards define the communications layer between applications that both reside on a singlesite. Network standards are given a Part Number beginning with a 2. The communication layer is totallyindependent to the application data. Application data can be carried using any specified communication layer.

• Part 2-01 IFSF Communications over Lonworks standard• This describes the Lonworks network implementation using the FTT Protocol. This extremely reliable

communications protocol was selected due to its ability to operate over existing installed cables no matter what media or cabling topology. Please read EB#1 Cables, Cabling and Cable Connectors.

• Part 2-02 Communications Over TCP IP• IFSF supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. In order for devices to be discovered on the network IFSF

broadcasts device heartbeats on a “Well known port number (3486)” as assigned by IANA. Of course TCP IP can also be used between applications at the same location and remote locations.

• Part 2-03 IFSF Communications Over HTTP REST• IFSF supports both HTTP and HTTPS for RESTful web services. This document describes the

implementation of a web services based communications layer. As with TSP IP applications can reside at the same location or remote.
