UXP-based digitalstate ecosystem
Cybernetica’s interoperability offering is based on ourUXP (Unified eXchange Platform) technology.

UXP as the technical foundation of interoperability brings together
data of different organisations and information systems for state-wideconnectivity. This decentralised infrastructure platform is governed,
maintained and monitored by a central authority. The security of theecosystem is assured by encryption and the use of trust services.

lnfinitely scalable andsecure technology
UXP enables the development of seamless digital services in adecentralised, secure and infinitely scalable way. By standardising
the exchange of data between both public and private sector
organisations, UXP allows to achieve increased work efficiency
and significant reductions in overheads.

Peer-to-peer data exchangeover encrypted and mutuallyauthenticated channels.

Distributed architecture withcentralised governance enables
to operate mission-criticalinfrastructure in a trusted way.

Avoidance of a “superdatabase” simplifies data
management and decreases
risks for a debilitating data
breach or data leak.

No central point of failure andno central bottleneck, resulting
in greater resilience, availability,and scalability.

Security by design principle
reinforced with cryptography,
trust services and PKI-based
authentication.

Legally binding message
transaction records throughstrong authentication oforganisations, as well as timestamping and signing of eachcommunication.

Sovereignty of participatingorganisations is retained byallowing members full control of
their data and services.

UXP privacy tools enable thecreation of a transparent andprivacy-preserving digitalsociety.

Why Cybernetica’s UXP?
Developed for states
UXP has been specifically designed to support state-levelinteroperability and data exchange. UXP meets the state-level demands
for security, scalability, privacy, governance and legal-grade proof valueof message exchange, relative to other integration platforms.
Security-by-design
In the UXP, data is exchanged peer-to-peer over mutually authenticatedand encrypted channels. The security of communication is ensured andstandardised through the use of security components by all memberorganisations.
Connects an ecosystem of sovereign actors
Over the UXP, data is exchanged peer-to-peer between independent
actors. Without any central nodes, the UXP avoids the creation of asuper database or a “big brother”, enabling all organisations in theecosystem to retain sovereignty and control over their data.
Supports phased deployment
Building a data exchange ecosystem is a long-tern endeavour. UXP’s
decentralised architecture supports the swift scaling of the ecosystem
by a select number of organisations at a time, without the need for major
modifications in information systems.

Benefits of UXPAs a foundation for e-governance and an enabler ofdigital service provision, the UXP interoperability andsecure data exchange platform allows:

enhanced trust andautomation of manual andcooperation between

repetitive tasks for higher work

sovereign organisations;efficiency;

improved service delivery andconsiderable cost savings andservice quality contributing tofreeing up resources;

citizen satisfaction;enhanced operationaltransparency and complianceresilience and security;with data protection regulation.

Phased and contextdriven approach tointeroperability
We deploy our systems depending on customer requirements anddigital readiness. A strong focus on a phased approach and tangible
results ensures a successful deployment. Considering local context is
also paramount to keep the transition smooth and seamless.

1. Discovery
We assess the current situation with all contextual nuances to
uncover most valuable use cases for demo purposes. The
discovery session can include compiling an implementation plan
and a roadmap, identifying the gaps as well as milestones toachieving full-scale interoperability.
2. Proof of Concept
We guide the selection of the most impactful services to start withand set up a technical PoC to test the interoperability implementation
approach. A PoC typically takes 6 months to a year over which the fitand feasibility of the selected solution is assessed before the fullimplementation.
3. Live environment
We then scale up the technical environment to a full-scale solution
meeting high availability and performance requirements. The
implementation will follow a gradual, well-defined roadmap and asuitable pace matching the digital maturity of the customer.
4. Full Support and MaintenanceWe constantly upgrade and refine our technologies to ensure
impeccable security and performance. Our customers can enjoy
professional support service for smooth operations.

X-Road in Estonia
Cybernetica was the technical architect of Estonia’s interoperability platform
called the X-Road. X-Road is the backbone of secure data exchange in Estonia,
supporting all digital public services since 2001. As a result of its adoption,
today 99% of government services are available online, minimising bureaucracy
and back-office overheads. Our UXP data exchange technology has grown outof the groundwork done with the X-Road in Estonia and by now surpasses it interms of security and scalability.

UXP-based public services in Benin
Cybernetica implemented its data exchange technology, the UXP, as the fullscale interoperability platform in the Republic of Benin. Since 2019, a new
digital government platform was set up from scratch and new public digital
services were launched within just 1 year. Today, the UXP platform has becomea significant enabler of improved public sector productivity, leading tophenomenal changes in the society.
