Frequently Asked Questions

What is the architectural model of the Qiy Trust Framework?

The characteristics of a two-sided network of users on one side and Data Controllers and Data Processors on the other side are an important requirement for the Qiy Trust Framework. Therefore the (technical and organisational) networked model is an important design consideration for the architecture of the services provided on the basis of the Qiy Trust Framework.

Important requirements are:

  • Prevent a market dominance by a single provider of services on the basis of the Qiy Trust Framework;
  • Allow multiple service providers to interoperate, thus allowing the entire market to benefit of shared positive network externalities;
  • Allow multiple service providers to interoperate, thus allowing a diversity of applied technologies for service implementations enhancing the scalability of the provision of services provided on the basis of the Qiy Trust Framework.
