USH
SECURITY HEADER
To specify a security mechanism applied to a EDIFACT structure (i.e.: either message/package, group or interchange).

Notes:
030 0541, if not present the default scope is the current security header segment group and the message body or object itself.
060 0507, the original character set encoding of the EDIFACT structure when it was secured. If no value is specified, the character set encoding corresponds to that identified by the syntax identifier character repertoire in the UNB segment.
080 S500, two occurrences are possible: one for the security originator, one for the security recipient.
080 S500/0538, may be used to establish the key relationship between the sending and receiving parties.
100 S501, may be used as a security timestamp. It is security related and may differ from any dates and times that may appear elsewhere in the EDIFACT structure. It may be used to provide sequence integrity.
