This document does not cover the specifics of the messaging transport mechanism. It is assumed that a suitable network link is available between the Navtech system and third-party. The network may implement security and encryption but these facilities remain independent of this ICD and therefore are not discussed. Further information should be sought from Navtech Radar concerning the various methods for communicating with the different software systemsThe ICD-001 interface which is available within Witness offers support for TLS 1.2.

XSD Files
XML is plain text based data exchange protocol. It is widely supported in most modern development languages and tools.
