Information​

  • Phase 1

  • Minimal? Yes

  • Related KPIs:

    • Security: [Integrity] The system provides observability records of the sharing agreement states (privacy terms of observability are out of scope here).

  • Evaluation Criteria:

The evaluation for this test case uses the following matrix:

CriteriaScoring
No traceability.0
System logs, which record only a connection between two connectors using non-data space identifiers such as a public URL or IP address.1
Application logs that include process information, for example, "Connector control plane initiating on port...".2
Data space protocol status traces, such as "Data sharing agreement request".3
Data space protocol transaction traces, for instance, "Contract ID Op: negotiation".4
A complete data space protocol context dump, including the entire JSON dump with references.5

  • The test is executed in an Ubuntu environment using IntelliJ.

Tested quality metric and method​

The quality metric for this test is based on the criteria outlined in iso27001_kpis_subkpis.xlsx. In Phase 1, the focus is on the Functional Suitability metric. For detailed information, please refer to the Comparative criteria (checklists, ...) section in the test description.

Expected output​

The expected outcome of the current test is to evaluate whether the system provides an observability trace of the sharing agreement (privacy terms of observability are out of scope).

Results​

When a Contract negotiation is initiated by a Consumer via an API call, such as /api/management/v3/contractnegotiations, clear traces with appropriate states are recorded in the logs of the involved connectors, for example:

Assessment​

Measured results​

Based on the test results, the system is rated a 4 according to the matrix outlined at Comparative criteria (checklists, ...). Given the extensible nature of EDC, you can add an extension to the logging service to achieve a higher score.

Functional suitability quality metric: 4

Notes​

EDC is a pluggable ecosystem primarily targeting Java/Kotlin developers. Some extensions are available on the market for plug-and-play, but for certain specific use cases, developers need to write their own extensions.
