6. Building Blocks¶

This chapter defines the interfaces that each building block MAY implement and provides an overview of the high level functionalities that each building block MAY implement.

This chapter does not define high level functionalities for the following building blocks:

Digital Credential Issuance & Distribution System because this building block is out of scope for the current version of OSIA specification v6.1.0.
Identity Provider because this building block is not expected to implement OSIA interfaces but rather to consume them.

6.1. Building Blocks High Level Functionalities¶

The following section describes the high level functionalities that each building block MAY implement. Each building block can find many different implementations in the market while still complying with the requested functional requirements. This differentiation among products is what makes the market competitive and innovative.

6.1.1. Enrollment¶

The Enrollment building block is composed of enrollment client and enrollment server.
