Status

Status

Source
  1. Iroha 2 whitepaper
  2. Iroha 1 approach
  3. Iurii Vinogradov
Preconditions
  • There is a multi-signature account in the Iroha network
  • The user has access to the one or many key pairs for the multi-signature account
  • The current amount of signatures to the multi-signature transaction is lower than a current quorum value

Use case flow

  1. The user obtains the current list of pending transactions (<<include>> FR0203)
  2. The user finds the required transaction that can be signed by his/her signatures
  3. The user signs required transaction using the available key pair by calling the corresponding method from CLI or client SDK
  4. The user sends signed transaction to the Iroha peer (<<include>> FR0100)
Postconditions
  • Amount of signatures in the signed instruction increased by 1 signature
  • Signed instruction disappears from the list of pending instructions for the current user's account
Alternative flow
  • On step 2 the user can select more than one transactions, all of them can be sent on step 4 as a separate requests
  • The user can skip steps 1 and 2 if he/she already has information about the pending transaction, which was provided by any external integration. Hence, the user need to have possibility to start the use case directly from the step 3 by sending signed transaction without prior queries. (by Yuriy Vinogradov)
  • On step 3 the user can sign the transaction by more than one signature, and all of them can be sent as a single request per single transaction on step 4. In bridge implementation scenario is: 1. Selected bridge get all bridge instances signatures from the block and calls an Iroha2 ISI with the transfer information, attaching all bridge nodes signatures. It can be implemented as in Iroha1 by sending multple ISI calls in one transaction or batch, or it can be implemented as One ISI call with multiple signatures. Iurii Vinogradov
Exception flow
  • On step 1, in case of the empty list of pending transactions, the Iroha peer will return corresponding status and the use case flow stops
  • On step 3, if the user uses key pair, which was already used for signing the transaction, the CLI/SDK will return corresponding error status; use case flow stops if there are no more available key pairs.
