Use cases

This chapter builds on the iSHARE framework to showcase the scheme's key functionalities in four use cases:

1. Use case: M2M interaction (with fine-grained authorisation) showcases:
   • Support Machine to Machine (M2M) interaction;
   • Facilitate flexible authorizations, applicable in any context.
     
     
2. Use case: H2M interaction (with coarse-grained authorisation) showcases:
   • Support Human to Machine (H2M) interaction;
   • Facilitate flexible authorizations, applicable in any context.
     
     
3. Use case: portable identity showcases:
   • Facilitate portable identity(s) for parties and humans.
     
     
4. Use case: delegation (and management of consent) showcases:
   • Enable data exchange based on delegations - even between unknown parties;
   • Enable control over own data through management of consent.

Structure

Each use case includes:

• A description and depiction of the roles and relations;
• A description of the prerequisites, and a depiction of prerequisite registration;
• A description and depiction of the use case;
• A sequence diagram;
• A reference to what needs to be technically implemented for this use case.
  
  

The depicted use cases are only a selection of iSHARE's use case scope. For the full scope, please refer to the detailed Functional descriptions.
