Important
For the production environment, a separate X-Road Security Server must be deployed on separate infrastructure (physical or virtual), with its own IP address and DNS name, different from those of the test environment.
Please do not use the test environment's Security Server, or its IP address or DNS name, for production. The Security Servers of the test and production environments, and their corresponding network identifiers, must be kept separate.
Alongside the transition to the production environment, the test infrastructure must be maintained and continue to operate for testing purposes.
Welcome to the ADEL Knowledge Base¶
The Armenian Data Exchange Layer (ADEL) is Armenia's national standard for secure data exchange infrastructure, enabling government institutions and authorized organizations to share information efficiently and securely. Based on the proven X-Road platform, ADEL provides the standardized, scalable foundation for digital government services across Armenia.
Legal Foundation
ADEL is established under the Public Information Law of the Republic of Armenia (Article 3 - Definitions, Article 12 - State Information System Architecture, Article 20 - Supporting System Infrastructure).
The law defines ADEL as a mandatory component of Armenia's state information infrastructure, ensuring legal authority for secure inter-agency data exchange and providing the regulatory framework for system governance, security requirements, and participant obligations.
This framework is implemented through Government Decision N 767-Ն of May 27, 2026 "On Approving the Procedure for the Creation and Application of the Data Exchange Layer of the State Information System," which establishes the detailed procedure governing ADEL's creation, governance, and operation, including the obligations of ADEL members, the conditions for joining, and the service standards of the data exchange layer.
