DS6 A sender wishes to exchange data with a receiver and has agreed
to encrypt the payload. The sender and receiver agree on the
encryption keys and algorithms. Data is encrypted by the
originating application and sent to the its message service
handler (equivalent to an XP Processor). The message service
handler creates a message header and sends the message to the
receiver. The receiver hands the message to the ultimate
recipient for decryption of the payload.

Note: This scenario refers to header and payload in the ebXML context.
An ebXML message handler is analogous to an XP Processor in that
it provides the transport independent support layer between an
application and an underlying transport. The ebXML header and
payload are separate documents contained within a MIME/multipart
envelope. The header is always XML, the payload MAY be XML. This
scenario assumes the business application is responsible for
encrypting the payload which is then moved unchanged between
sender and receiver.
