All.id components

Page actionsAll.id network architecture is composed of three main components, the discovery server, the router and the peer. First we give a brief description of each component, then discussing the process of authenticating a new peer in the network, and at last detailing what components belong to a peer.Comment

How does the All.id work?

CommentAs a platform DLT based, All.id is a kind of digital database that is updated and held by every member(peer) independently in a large network.CommentThis way of operating is as revolutionary as it is easy to understand. While traditional solutions send requests and store all assets in a single database, All.id distributes the storage and, consequently, the requests to the databases of the network members (peers). Basically, All.id consists of three components:Comment

Discovery server

CommentThe discovery server is one of the most important network components, begin responsible for authenticating new peers, keeping a global history of network transactions, validating all carried out transactions and guaranteeing the integrity of network resources and communication.Comment

Router

CommentThe router is mainly responsible for intermediating the communication between network peers, acting as a literal router for requests and making external queries, outside of the All.id network, if necessary. It can act as a logical separator in the network, where each router completely isolates a group of connected peers from the rest of the network.Comment

Peer

CommentThe network main component, it's used by All.id clients to interact with the network ecosystem created by All.id. This component contains all information and functionality needed by clients to allow Requests in the All.id network.
