The publisher runs their own **Ocean Provider** or can use one deployed by Ocean Protocol. In the **download** step or while running C2D job, Provider software needs to retrieve the data service URL given a datatoken address. One approach would be for the publisher to run a database. However, this adds another dependency. To avoid this, the Provider encrypts the URL and this encrpyted URL gets published on-chain.

However, this adds another dependency. To avoid this, the Provider encrypts the URL and this encrpyted URL gets published on-chain.
To initiate the **consume** step, the data consumer sends 1.0 datatokens to the Provider wallet. Then they make a service request to the Provider. The Provider loads the encrypted URL, decrypts it, and provisions the requested service (send static data, or enable a compute-to-data job). To initiate the **download** step, the data buyer sends 1.0 datatokens to the Provider wallet. Then they make a service request to the Provider. The Provider loads the encrypted URL, decrypts it, and provisions the requested service (send static data, or enable a compute-to-data job).
Instead of running a Provider themselves, the publisher can have a 3rd party like Ocean Market to run it. While more convenient, it means that the 3rd party has custody of the private encryption/decryption key (more centralized). Ocean will support more service types and URL custody options in the future. Instead of running a Provider themselves, the publisher can have a 3rd party like Ocean Market to run it.

Actors like data providers and consumers have Ethereum addresses, aka web3 accounts. These are managed by crypto wallets, as one would expect. For most use cases, this is all that’s needed. There are cases where the Ocean community could layer on protocols like [Verifiable Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/) or tools like [3Box](https://3box.io/).
