Key functionality

The iSHARE Scheme aims to support the following key functionalities:

• Support Machine to Machine (M2M) interaction
• Support Human to Machine (H2M) interaction
• Facilitate portable identity(s) for parties and humans
• Facilitate flexible authorizations, applicable in any context
• Enable data exchange based on delegations - even between unknown parties
• Enable control over own data through management of consent
• Provide a trust framework

In line with iSHARE's guiding principles, these key functionalities might be realised by (re)using existing standards or initiatives.
