Hey folks, Our Q&A meeting is set up for the greater EDC community to get in touch with the EDC committer team and other community members in order to ask questions or discuss issues around the EDC developments or its adoption. In order to prepare the meeting and make sure the right contact persons are available, please raise questions at least until Tuesday EOB before the meeting. To do so, please visit the corresponding EDC discussions. Every Q&A session has its own thread (linked in above table), where you can add your question as a comment and provide details. While adding a question, please create one question per comment and add a meaningful title and description. If you have any questions, please contact the team via the Discord channel and we will try to help as fast as possible. |

Hello everyone, I have the following question for the Q&A planned for this afternoon. Where can I best post it? Our software uses EDC Connectors to arrange the trust between two actors within a network. To exploit this trust from within our application we need access to the public key with which a consumer participant has configured its EDC Connector. This way, we want to verify whether this participant actually is who they say they are or whether they have a valid token but are using an unexpected identifier. Currently, we already use the token generated based on the contract agreement between the consumer and provider and validate/verify it on the provider side using the Thanks in advance! Barry |

Hi, The proper way to handle this would be to use Web DIDs (or another DID method) for the participant IDs. The resolved DID document would contain public key material as a verification method. In addition, you will need to use self-issued certificates sent as a JWT in the auth header. Note, however, that the above does not establish trust. It only establishes control over a DID. For trust, you need an issuer that provides Verifiable Credentials and is accepted by both parties. The VCs would be presented as a VP to the provider. Identity Hub and EDC configured with the decentralized identity extensions support this. I would suggest reading up on decentralized identity concepts if you are not familiar with them and then looking at the pre-release Identity Hub documentation. |

Hi @jimmarino, thanks for your quick response. We've looked a bit more into DID and watched this video, but we will also have to read the documentation you suggested. Just to verify my current limited understanding: if we correctly configure EDC Connectors with an IdentityHub and start using WEB DIDs like By the way, do you know if the Q&A is still happening? Or is that what we are doing now?😉 Thanks! Barry |

Please read through the documentation and that should point you in the right direction. Please be aware that Identity Hub is still a work in progress. Take a look also at the MVD as that is being updated to include samples. |
