The gateway protocol

ZOLOZ services are provided in the form of APIs, implemented based on a specific gateway protocol, and available externally through ZOLOZ gateway services.

The ZOLOZ gateway protocol is a comprehensive set of rules designed to ensure the efficiency, reliability, and security of message transmission between merchants and ZOLOZ services.

The protocol includes the following three parts:

• Message Structure: Describes the structure of request and response messages. The message structure varies between public/private key access and AK/SK access:

• Public/Private Key Access: Message structure.
• AK/SK Access: Message structure.

• Message Transmission Security: Outlines the mechanisms for ensuring secure message transmission. The transmission security mechanisms differ between public/private key access and AK/SK access:

• Public/Private Key Access: Includes message signing and signature verification, message encryption, and message decryption.
• AK/SK Access: Includes only message signing and signature verification.

• API Compatibility: Describes ZOLOZ API version control strategy.
