class="simple"> <li>A peer to peer network with message persistence and delivery retries.</li> <li>Key data structures for defining contracts and states.</li> <li>Smart contracts, which you can find in the <a class="reference internal" href="contract-catalogue.html"><span class="doc">Contract catalogue</span></a>.</li> <li>Algorithms that work with them, such as serialising, hashing, signing, and verification of the signatures.</li> <li>API documentation and tutorials (what you’re reading).</li> <li>A business process orchestration framework.</li> <li>Notary infrastructure for precise timestamping, and elimination of double spending without a blockchain.</li> <li>A simple REST API, and a web app demo that uses it to present a frontend for IRS trading.</li> </ul> <p>Some things it does not currently include but should gain later are:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>Sandboxing, distribution or publication of smart contract code</li> <li>A user interface for administration</li> </ul> <p>The prototype’s goal is rapid exploration of ideas. Therefore in places it takes shortcuts that a production system would not in order to boost productivity:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>It uses an object graph serialization framework instead of a well specified, vendor neutral protocol.</li> <li>There’s currently no permissioning framework.</li> <li>Some privacy techniques aren’t implemented yet.</li> <li>It uses an embedded SQL database and doesn’t yet have connectivity support for mainstream SQL vendors (Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server etc).</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="rst-footer-buttons" role="navigation" aria-label="footer navigation"> <a href="getting-set-up.html" class="btn btn-neutral float-right" title="Getting set up" accesskey="n">Next <span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></span></a> <a href="index.html" class="btn btn-neutral" title="Welcome to the Corda documentation!" accesskey="p"><span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-left"></span> Previous</a> </div> <hr/> <div role="contentinfo"> <p> © Copyright 2016, R3 Limited. </p> </div> Built with <a href="http://sphinx-doc.org/">Sphinx</a> using a <a href="https://github.com/snide/sphinx_rtd_theme">theme</a> provided by <a href="https://readthedocs.org">Read the Docs</a>. </footer> </div> </div> </section> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var DOCUMENTATION_OPTIONS = { URL_ROOT:'./', VERSION:'latest', COLLAPSE_INDEX:false, FILE_SUFFIX:'.html', HAS_SOURCE: true }; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/underscore.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/doctools.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/js/theme.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function () { SphinxRtdTheme.StickyNav.enable(); }); </script> </body> </html>
