It initializes the parameters and mediates between the different stakeholders of a withdrawal, which finally allows the customer to withdraw digital cash from a reserve owned by the \textit{Exchange}. Therefore C2EC provides API which can be integrated and used by the \textit{Terminal}, \textit{Wallet} and the \textit{Exchange}. -The API of the C2EC (cashless2ecash) component handles the flow from the creation of a C2EC mapping to the creation of the reserve.

The specification of the Taler Wirewatch Gateway can be found in the official Taler documentation \cite{taler-wire-gateway-api}. The wirewatch gateway helps the Exchange communicate with the C2EC component using a the API. It helps the Exchange to fetch guarantees, that a certain transaction went through and that the reserve can be created and withdrawn. This will help C2EC to capture the transaction of the Terminal Backend to the Exchange's account and therefore allow the withdrawal by the customer. Therefore the wirewatch gateway API is implemented as part of C2EC. When the wirewatch gateway can get the proof, that a transaction was successfully processed, the exchange will create a reserve with the corresponding reserve public key. |
