Omfang

The present document defines standardization issues for Smart Contracts, as defined in Data Act [i.1], and based on Electronic Ledgers as defined by eIDAS2 [i.2]. It builds on existing and planned standardization and publicly available specifications. It presents a novel and as yet unpublished Chain of Trust, by addressing the role of all involved entities in building, deploying, and executing a Smart Contract computer program on an Electronic Ledger. All the relevant actors, artifacts, hardware, networks and tools, are identified by emphasizing the critical points where governance, safety, security, and identity issues are required. The Chain of Trust will be extensively translated in suitable recommendations in ETSI TS 119 541 [i.12] and ETSI TS 119 542 [i.16]. The security of Smart Contracts will be significantly compromised by an incomplete validation chain, which exposes users to various risks, including fraud and attacks. NOTE 1: The present document summarizes the results of a scoping study that examines the issues for the application of Smart Contracts, particularly in relation to the European frameworks outlined in the Data Act [i.1] and eIDAS2 [i.2] regulations. The goal is to pinpoint standardization issues for Smart Contracts and Electronic Ledgers in data-sharing computer applications. Additionally, the study considers reports and standards from ETSI ISG PDL (at the time of the publication of the present document conveyed into ETSI TC DATA), ETSI TC ESI, and checks consistency with ISO and CEN documents. NOTE 2: Unless otherwise specified in the present document, the definition of Smart Contracts refers to Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 [i.1] and the definition of Electronic Ledgers, and Qualified Electronic Ledger refer to Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 [i.2]. See Annex C for further details. The present document is structured as follows: • Clause 4 enumerates the regulations, applied standards, EU initiatives and other activities involved for the use of Smart Contracts in Data Sharing Computer Applications. • Clause 5 is the core of the present document. It identifies the entities and their inter-relations for the creation, validation, deployment and use of Smart Contracts in Electronic Ledgers. A Chain of Trust listing the main entities and their relations will be presented and discussed; the Chain of Trust allows to highlight issues that will be focused in the next clause. • Clause 6 lists in a concise way the issues that are translated into formal requirements in ETSI TS 119 541 [i.12] and ETSI TS 119 542 [i.16]. • Clause 7 concludes. • Annex A presents four figures showing a particular, fine-grained, implementation of the Chain of Trust: entities, their relations participating in the design of SC Language, the deployment, and execution of Smart Contracts on a Qualified Electronic Ledger. Other implementations are also possible. • Annex B graphically and informally depicts, the Chain of Trust. • Annex C gives a comparative overview of definitions in normative and standard documents.
