# Transaction Signing

## Transaction Signing API Specifications

This document outlines the technical specifications for the **Singpass Transaction Signing API**, designed to enable secure and seamless transaction signing for applications integrating with Singpass. It details the API endpoints, authentication mechanisms, request/response structures, and security protocols to ensure integrity, confidentiality, and user trust.

This specification serves as a guide for developers and system integrators to facilitate smooth implementation and interoperability.

## Flow Diagram

Refer to this diagram for an overview of the transaction signing flow and the interactions between RP, Singpass and other dependencies.
