Creating a Corda network
========================
A Corda network consists of a number of machines running nodes. These nodes communicate using persistent protocols in order to create and validate transactions.
A Corda network consists of a number of machines running nodes. These nodes communicate using persistent protocols in
order to create and validate transactions.
There are four broader categories of functionality one such node may have. These pieces of functionality are provided as
services, and one node may run several of them.

* Network map: The node running the network map provides a way to resolve identities to physical node addresses and associated public keys.
* Notary: Nodes running a notary service witness state spends and have the final say in whether a transaction is a double-spend or not.
* Oracle: Network services that link the ledger to the outside world by providing facts that affect the validity of transactions.
* Regular node: All nodes have a vault and may start protocols communicating with other nodes, notaries and oracles and evolve their private ledger.

Certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~
All nodes belonging to the same Corda network must have the same root CA. For testing purposes you can
use ``certSigningRequestUtility.jar`` to generate a node certificate with a fixed test root:
.. sourcecode:: bash
# Build the jars
./gradlew buildCordaJAR
# Generate certificate
java -jar build/libs/certSigningRequestUtility.jar --base-dir NODE_DIRECTORY/
Every node in a given Corda network must have an identity certificate signed by the network's root CA. See
:doc:`permissioning` for more information.
