The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) announces the successful IDS Certification of Huawei’s Exchange Data Space (EDS) Connector. The certification, achieved at Trust Level 1 and Assurance Level 2, confirms the connector’s compliance with key standards for interoperable and trusted data sharing at global level, particularly supporting cross-border collaborations between European and Chinese industries.
“By receiving IDS Certification, the Huawei EDS Connector is well-positioned to support industries in managing secure data sharing within global data spaces. We are very proud to be the first and the only non-European company to achieve a certificate from IDSA.”
Liang Chen, Director, HUAWEI Artificial Intelligence Standardization and Industry Development Department
“At Huawei Munich Research center we are contributing to technical specifications for global data sharing standards, building prototypes based on key technologies and driving early industry adoption in pilot projects. Receiving IDS certification demonstrates the compliance of our solution towards international specifications.”
Goetz Brasche, CTO Huawei Cloud Europe
“The certification of the Huawei Exchange Data Space Connector is a critical step in advancing trusted data spaces. It guarantees that the connector adheres to the requirements of the IDSA Certification Scheme, grounded in established international standards and technologies.”
Sonia Jimenez, Director of Data Space Technology at IDSA
Huawei EDS Connector is a part of HUAWEI CLOUD Data Space service focusing on cross-border data sharing following international standards for data exchange at a global scale. The EDS service leverage the Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) framework, is compatible with the Dataspace protocol (DSP), and provides enhanced features like local data usage policy management and enforcement, self-sovereign identity federation and compliance monitoring.
The certification process evaluated the connector based on the IDS Reference Architecture Model and key security standards, such as IEC 62443. By meeting these criteria, the connector ensures compliance with fundamental security and interoperability requirements, enabling organizations to actively engage in data-sharing ecosystems.
