This document defines the Minimal Management Interface (MMI) between the Data Engine and other actors in the ecosystem. It provides operation definitions on the Data Engine for use by a Service Provider to register a new Operator, to retrieve a list of existing Operators, to retrieve a list of Consumers associated with a given Operator, to suspend and resume Operators, register and unassign Devices and to assure a consumer is registered. It also provides operations definitions on the Data Engine for use by an Operator to register a Consumer, forget a Consumer and to associate a device with a consumer.

This interface represents the minimal requirements of a Data Engine’s management interface, but does not limit this interface to these capabilities. High quality Data Engines may offer more comprehensive management services.

1.1 Terminology

The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

The Minimal Management Interface on the Data Engine is divided into sections depending on which actor and function in a COEL ecosystem is communicating with the Data Engine. The following sub-sections define these interfaces.

2.1 Authentication and Authorisation

To access all Service Provider functions of the Data Engine MMI API, Service Providers need access credentials with two components:

·         A userid to identify the caller.

·         A password for authentication.

 

HTTP basic authentication SHALL be used to authenticate calls to the API. Passwords SHOULD be 64 bytes in length and MUST be supplied as an ASCII string. This MUST be prefixed with the userid followed by a colon to form the token passed in the HTTP Authorisation Header.

Note that while Operators need to secure their connection to the Data Engine with TLS, they do not need to Authenticate or Authorise.

Example:

"9abf5386-2ac6-4e61-abc4-6b809a85d6cb:J1dOeWJJOkd3akhnSn4ma007M
DtUMVAxISgyOn9jI2U9NHNdRi4hfiw9c2I8PURcVltNMWQkamsrfGR4T24vKA=="

If the userid is unrecognized, or the wrong password is supplied a HTTP status code 401 Invalid username or password SHALL be returned.

Note: All Operator functions do not require authentication or authorisation.

2.12 Operator: Assign a Device to a Consumer

Assign a Pseudonymous Key representing a device to a Consumer associated with the requesting Operator. All Atoms posted with this Pseudonymous Key will be associated with the corresponding Consumer. Once assigned to a Consumer, a Personal Device MUST not be reassigned to another Consumer, without first being Unassigned from all Consumers (see Section 2.8). An Operator MAY assign an IoT Device to multiple Consumers. This function does not require authentication or authorization. This operation is not permitted when an operator is suspended. The Device, the Operator, and the Consumer MUST already be registered with the Data Engine and associated with the same Service Provider.

 

API	Description
POST operator/device	Associate a device, identified by a Pseudonymous Key, to a registered Consumer associated with the requesting Operator.

2.12.1 Request

 

Parameter Name	Description		Type
DeviceID		A Pseudonymous Key associated with the Device and generated by an IDA.	String: Format defined in [COEL_IDA-1.0].
OperatorID		A Pseudonymous Key of the Operator to which the Consumer is associated.	String: Format defined in [COEL_IDA-1.0].
ConsumerID	A Pseudonymous Key of the user to which the device is to be associated. The user MUST already be associated with the requesting Operator.		String: Format defined in [COEL_IDA-1.0].
