How to obtain initial keys. Participants must register with a trusted platform (e.g., VisionsTrust) that operates the core services [6.0]. This process provides the serviceKey [2.3] (Client ID) and secretKey [2.3] (Client Secret).
Before a participant can operate with the PDC, it must complete an initial onboarding process to establish trust within the dataspace. This step is mandatory and carried out during the registration process with a platform that operates within the core services of the ecosystem [6.0], like VisionsTrust. This platform works as the entry to the dataspace and is responsible for governance, trust framework management and security.
During registration, you need to provide your organization’s basic information, which will be used to identify you and link it with other participants’ PDC instances. When it is completed, the platform issues the participant two initial keys. These initial keys are required to interact with the data space and configure the PDC. They are the first security actifacts of the participant:
These two keys are necessary for the PDC to authenticate and perform operations within the platform, such as registering to offers, discovering other participants and validating secure relationships. After receiving the keys, the participants can install and configure the PDC, that is fully equipped and can operate within the dataspace.
