Service: X-Road Interoperability Services

Responsible organisation: E-Estonia (Governmental)

X-Road is the backbone of e-Estonia. Invisible yet crucial, it allows the nation’s various public and private sector e-Service databases to link up and function in harmony. Estonia’s e-solution environment includes a full range of services for the general public, and since each service has its own databases they all use X-Road. To ensure secure transfers, all outgoing data from X-Road is digitally signed and encrypted, and all incoming data is authenticated and logged. Originally X-Road was simply used to send queries to different databases. Now it has developed into a tool that can also write to multiple databases, transmit large data sets and perform searches across several databases simultaneously. X-Road was designed with growth in mind, so it can be scaled up as new e-services and new platforms come online.
