Each +node is identified by a certificate issued by the network's identity service, and will also be discoverable on a network map. Corda Network enables interoperability – the exchange of data or assets via a secure, efficient internet layer – in a way that isn't possible with separate, isolated Corda networks. A common trust root surrounds all transactions, and a consistent set of network parameters ensures all participants may transact with each other.
