Connectivity Accreditation Overview
Additional information regarding technical accreditation will be published in subsequent documentation, as per the Documentation Release Plan.
Connectivity Accreditation
Purpose
Connectivity accreditation requires software providers to demonstrate secure connectivity and resilience.
Connectivity accreditation scripts to support these activities will be made available in a subsequent release.
Objectives
The objectives to demonstrate secure connectivity and resilience are set out in the below table by connectivity channel into CSP.
| Secure Connectivity | Resilience |
Ledger API | Establish secure connection to node (including acquisition of authorisation token from ASX IAM) Successfully submit DAML commands (an ISO 20022 equivalent) and receive output Successfully handle authorisation token expiration Successfully disconnect
| Recover without command or data loss after an unexpected link disconnection while submitting commands and receiving output Successful detection and management of duplicate output Recover from node loss (and subsequent restoration) Successful management of ledger time-out Successful management of ledger back pressure as per indicators |
AMQP | Establish secure connection to AMQP brokers IP/port Establish sessions to input and output queue(s) Successfully send / receive an ISO 20022 XML message Successfully disconnect
| Recover without message loss after an unexpected link disconnection while sending / receiving Successful detection and management of duplicate output messages Recover from loss (and subsequent restoration) of AMQP broker
|
SWIFT | Session management successfully achieved via closed user group Successfully send / receive an ISO 20022 XML message
| N/A |
FIX GATEWAY | Establish secure FIX sessions using mutual TLS Successfully maintain heartbeat Successfully send / receive a FIX message Successfully disconnect
| Recover connection and continue session maintaining sequence numbers Recover connection and start a new session, sequence numbers start from 1 Successful detection and management of duplicates at:
Successfully replay any combination of messages that we previously sent (within a session) |
Technical accreditation does not require a software provider to performance-accredit their system.
As part of the industry-wide end-to-end test phase, ASX is planning to incorporate a level of performance testing to help all CHESS users operate under simulated volume scenarios. Further detail on the performance testing will be provided prior to the opening of ITE1 and ITE2 respectively.
