Abstract. The digital transformation of sovereign processes is a driving force to streamline and innovate processes for measuring instruments under legal control. Providing trust is the essential purpose of Legal Metrology and still a challenging task in the digital domain. Taking the strict legal framework into account, a distributed software architecture is presented that offers privacy, security and resilience. At the same time, the platform approach seamlessly integrates existing public and private infrastructures. Furthermore, a service hub is created with interdependent services that support the digital transformation of paper-based processes, such as verification and software update. Exemplary, these two central use cases are introduced, and its requirements and implementation approach are described. The main goal is to provide the same level of trust and security, by developing new digital concepts, infrastructure and remote processes for a unified digital single market.
