TSG Control Plane architecture

The TSG Control Plane is the basis of an IDS-connector based on the Dataspace Protocol. Therefore, the public interfaces of this control plane follow the specifications and HTTPS binding of that protocol.

The authentication is currently implemented by the means of the TSG Wallet or Catena-X Managed Identity Wallet, that allows for a SSI-based IAM solution for the dataspace protocol endpoints.

A component diagram with the primary aspects of the control plane and the interactions with external systems is shown below.

The interfaces of the control plane are largely covered by the OpenAPI descriptions in resources/apis and the accompanying schemas in resources/schemas.
