KeyExchangeInitiation

cain.011.001.01

The KeyExchangeInitiation message is sent by any party to an acquirer, an issuer or an agent, to initiate a cryptographic key exchange.

Message Construction

Every ISO20022 message has at the highest level what we call ‘building blocks’. Because the message is constructed as immutable records, the association is by composition. Below you can see the relationship between the message and its constituent building blocks: For comparison, see the ISO20022 official specification

Extensibility and generalization considerations

To facilitate generalized design patterns in the system, the KeyExchangeInitiation implementation follows a specific implementaiton pattern. First of all, KeyExchangeInitiation impleemnts IOuterRecord indicating it is the outermost logical part of the message definition. Like all message wrappers, KeyExchangeInitiationDocument implements IOuterDocument. Because KeyExchangeInitiation implements IOuterDocument, it is a suitable template parameter for IOuterDocument, and causes the internal ‘Message’ to be of type KeyExchangeInitiation.

classDiagram
    class IOuterRecord
    KeyExchangeInitiation --|> IOuterRecord : Implements
    KeyExchangeInitiationDocument --|> IOuterDocument~KeyExchangeInitiation~ : Implements
    class IOuterDocument~KeyExchangeInitiation~ {
        KeyExchangeInitiation Message
     }
  

Document wrapper for serialization

The only real purpose KeyExchangeInitiationDocument serves is to cause the document to be serialized into the ‘urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:cain.011.001.01’ namespace. Therefore, it will probably be the usual practice to build the message and construct this wrapper at the last minute using KeyExchangeInitiation.ToDocument() method. The returned KeyExchangeInitiationDocument value will serialize correctly according to ISO 20022 standards.

Sample of message format

This is an abbreviated version of what the message should look like.

<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:cain.011.001.01">
    <KeyXchgInitn>
        <Hdr>
            <!-- Header inner content -->
        </Hdr>
        <KeyXchgInitn>
            <!-- KeyExchangeInitiation inner content -->
        </KeyXchgInitn>
        <SctyTrlr>
            <!-- SecurityTrailer inner content -->
        </SctyTrlr>
    </KeyXchgInitn>
</Document>
