Digital Passport System (or DP System)

A DP System refers to the collective structure of interrelated and interconnected DPs along with the mechanisms for their governance, management, provisioning, and operation.

It is a comprehensive framework within which DPs operate. This system encompasses various types of DPs - each tailored to a particular entity (its subject) of a specific kind (e.g., a product, car, or battery). Each DP within the system securely stores data pertaining to its subject and executes scripts that operate on this data.

The DP System includes mechanisms for the governance, management, and provisioning of these DPs. Governance processes establish the rules and standards for the operation and interaction of DPs, while management processes ensure that these rules are followed and that the system operates effectively and efficiently. Provisioning processes enable the creation, update, and deletion of DPs within the system as per the requirements of the stakeholders.

Furthermore, within the DP System, DPs have machine interfaces (APIs) and human interfaces (UIs) to receive requests for script execution. They also adhere to specific access-control, execution-control, and response-control policies which guide their operations.

Overall, a DP System is not just a collection of DPs but an intricate network where each DP plays a role in achieving the system’s mission objectives, as defined by their Functional Blueprints. This system enables an organized, controlled, and secure environment for DPs to operate, ensuring data integrity, security, and compliance with various regulations and standards.
