APIs and Cross-Border Data Exchange in E-Government Context
summary
X‑Road is an MIT-licensed open source data‑exchange layer that uses PKI for onboarding and digitally signs and time‑stamps every message for non‑repudiation. It routes messages via local security servers, logs exchanges, and adds REST support since Apr 2019 (previously SOAP only). NIIS runs the master repo, issues about three releases per year, publishes a Docker standalone security server for testing, and plans X‑Road 7 with a pilot next year; Finnish–Estonian technical federation since Feb 2018 exists but no cross‑border production traffic yet.
