• Key Concepts: 
  Non-repudiation is a security feature of SAP's BC-XI Exchange Infrastructure that ensures that a message sent from one party cannot be denied by the sender. It is used to protect the integrity of data and transactions, and to ensure that the sender of a message cannot later deny having sent it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Non-repudiation is enabled in SAP's BC-XI Exchange Infrastructure by using digital signatures. Digital signatures are created using a cryptographic algorithm and are used to authenticate the sender of a message. The digital signature is then attached to the message, which ensures that the sender cannot later deny having sent it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using non-repudiation, it is important to ensure that the digital signature is secure and cannot be tampered with. This can be done by using strong encryption algorithms and keeping the private key used to create the signature secure.
