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 a Dataspace Connector (PDC), it must complete an initial onboarding process to establish trust within the dataspace. This step is mandatory and carried out in the registration process with a platform that operates within the core services of the ecosystem [6.0]. This platform works as the entry to the dataspace and is responsible of the governance, trust framework and security.
In the registration, you need to provide your organization’s basic information, which will be used to identify you and link it with other participants’ Dataspace connector instance. When it is finished, the platform issues the participant two initial keys. These initial keys are required to interact with the data space and configure the Dataspace Connector. They are the first secure item of the participant:
These two keys are necessary for the Dataspace Connector to authenticate and do 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 Dataspace Connector, that is fully equipped and can operate within the dataspace.
