Rebooting Trust in X-Road
Organization
University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia
Abstract
X-Road® is an open-source software and ecosystem solution that provides unified and secure data exchange between organizations. Currently, X-Road constitutes the backbone of Estonia, Iceland, and Finland digital government infrastructures. Moreover, it has been fostering the digital government revolution in several other countries around the world.
The objective of this project is to reboot the trust model and management in X-Road embracing the principles and following the standards of Self-sovereign Identity (SSI).
Out of the evolving body of standards and technologies supporting SSI, this study has to identify fitting technologies and processes to embrace SSI principles in the next version of X-Road trust. Moreover, the study has to reflect on the current X-Road architecture suggesting where changes have to take place. Although not necessary, a demo showing how the SSI-based process should work is preferable.
