Trust frameworks

Trusted lists and trust-framework design

Create trustworthy, maintainable ways to publish and consume provider, service and status information across a trust community.

Trust information with a lifecycle

A trusted list can describe providers, services, identifiers, status and status history. A dependable framework also needs an authority model, entry and change rules, authentic publication, validation, availability, error handling and controlled consumption by relying systems.

Areas of support

  • Trust-framework purpose, scope and participant roles
  • Provider, service, identifier and status data models
  • Entry, change, suspension, withdrawal and historical-status rules
  • Governance, authority and approval processes
  • Authenticity, publication, distribution and availability
  • Machine-processing, validation and failure behaviour
  • ETSI trusted-list structures and profiles
  • Consumer guidance, testing and operational monitoring
