Deployment Tips 

The Contract Commitment Support components serve two purposes: 1) to invite potential contractors with details about the task & configuration to enact and 2) to configure the infrastructure of both contractor and contracted (or customer and service provider) so as to ensure secure channels, instantiation of relevant resources etc. Accordingly, the two primary concerns for deploying the CCS component consists in 1) accessibility to the internet and 2) accessibility to the infrastructure components and services to be configured. Note that intermediary services may act as a front end to configuration.

It is up to the use case, which communication channels (i.e. invitation and / or configuration) will be secured. Since all communications are web service standard based, WS-Security mechanisms can be easily applied.
