What are the benefits of certifying a connector?

• Trust. Secure data sharing, complete interoperability (both within a space and with other data spaces) using technology from different manufacturers and/or different data models.

• Having these certifications will allow a component to be used in different data spaces and an entity to be part (share, consume or offer services) of different data spaces. The final objective is to facilitate the reliable and rapid development and deployment of data spaces.

What is the scope of the certification?

• The component certification program is based on the DIN 27070 standard, which will soon be ISO, and the criteria that are evaluated include security (ISO62443-4-2), functionality, interoperability, code quality and secure development process.

Are there components already certified?

• Yes, an updated list can be found on the IDSA page.
