Transaction structure
Within the realm of DigiNetGuard, transactions are orchestrated through a meticulously designed framework that underpins the network's functionality. This framework comprises key elements that govern the movement of assets and the execution of actions within the system. These fundamental components encompass:
Operations: Transactions encompass various operations, each specifying a distinct action to be carried out. These actions can encompass asset transfers, data updates, or interactions with smart contracts.
Temporal Aspect: Optionally, a temporal aspect is included in the form of a timestamp. This timestamp delineates the period during which the transaction is considered valid and operational.
Immutable States: States within the transaction are characterized by their immutability. They exist in one of two states: "unspent," signifying their availability for use, or "spent," indicating that they have fulfilled their purpose and are no longer valid. Transactions consume unspent states while generating new ones, ensuring the integrity of the network's state.
Verification and Authentication: To uphold transaction security and legitimacy, cryptographic signatures play a pivotal role. These signatures are intricately linked to specific operations within the transaction, providing incontrovertible evidence of authorization.
Supplementary Information: Transactions may also encompass supplementary information, constituting metadata that offers context or additional details pertaining to the transaction's objectives or the involved parties.
In the context of DigiNetGuard, this transaction framework is the bedrock upon which transparency, security, and operational efficiency are built, aligning seamlessly with Western conventions and practices.
