What is App2? #4

Open yaronf opened 1 year ago

yaronf commented 1 year ago

In Sec. 3.2, we mention the applications App1 and App2. App2 is mentioned with no explanation. So first, we need to define that App2 is the Beneficiary application. But more importantly, I think it is rare that there's an application on the beneficiary side. In some cases (fiat currency and cryptocurrency) there may just be a passive account.

This is a problematic area generally, because SATP needs to work for: (a) UTXO-based networks, and (b) Account-based networks, (c) Monolithic/legacy databases fronted by gateways, and (d) some future asset-control mechanism.

Today, I think the best we can say is that " App2 controls the assets of the Beneficiary in NW2" (and same thing for App1 and the Originator in NW1).

And add a comment that in some cases, there may be no App2?
