-LibEuFin Architecture
-#####################
-
-Sandbox
-=======
-
-* the sandbox's EBICS API emulates the behavior of a real bank's EBICS
- interface
-
-* *(Only in the future)*: FinTS API and other FinTech APIs
-
-* the sandbox's management API allows an administrator to:
-
- * create new **bank** accounts
- * create new **EBICS subscriber** accounts
-
- * a subscriber has (optionally?) a SystemID (for technical subscribers),
- a UserID and a PartnerID
- * each bank account has a list of subscribers than can access it
-
- * delete accounts
- * ...
-
-* the sandbox's "miscellaneous" API provides public functionality that is not covered
- directly by EBICS, such as:
-
- * a way to get the transactions in form of a JSON message, to check if it matches the EBICS response
-
- * you could call it a "reference history"
-
- * publicly accessible key management functionality, for example for the EBICS INI process
-
- * this is the "electronic version" of sending an HIA/INI letter
-
-* things that we do **not** want to implement right now:
-
- * Distributed electronic signatures. For now, it is enough for every order
- to be signed just by one authorized subscriber.
-
-Nexus
-=====
-
-The Nexus takes JSON requests and translates them into API calls for the
-respective real bank accounts (EBICS, FinTS, ...). It also stores the bank
-transaction history to enable a linearlized view on the transaction history
-with unique transaction identifier, which some of the underlying banking APIs
-don't provide directly.
-
-``libeufin-nexus-httpd`` is the binary (or wrapper around the Java invocation)
-that runs the HTTP service.
-
-
-CLI Tools
-=========
-
-The Sandbox and Nexus are only HTTP services. The CLI tools are used to
-actually access them.
