# DDHub Client Gateway

The DDHub Client Gateway is an integration gateway SDK that is intended to run on-premises or on the cloud environment of participants. It provides an interface for participant systems to interact with other systems in the shared interacting with a data exchange solution - namely, the DDHub Message Broker.

The Client Gateway is available in Github at <https://github.com/energywebfoundation/ddhub-client-gateway> or in the [Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/energywebdevhubgmbh1670375546257.ewf-data-exchange-client-gateway?tab=Overview).

The gateway application is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted (messages) using self-sovereign identities (DIDs) and verifiable credentials rather than a centrally trusted and managed approaches seen in legacy solutions.

The client container is an integral part of the DDHub in achieving its decentralized characteristics as it assumes the power of the identity that it currently holds/represents.
