## Overview

The WIA Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Standard provides a comprehensive framework for implementing interoperable digital currencies issued by central banks. This specification defines the technical requirements, data formats, APIs, and protocols necessary to ensure that CBDCs from different countries can interact seamlessly while maintaining sovereignty, security, and privacy.

### Philosophy

**弘益人間 (홍익인간)** - *Benefit All Humanity*

Every aspect of this standard is designed with the principle that digital money should serve all of humanity, not just privileged few. This means:

- **Financial Inclusion:** Enabling the unbanked and underbanked to participate in the digital economy
- **Privacy Protection:** Balancing individual privacy with necessary regulatory oversight
- **Sovereignty Respect:** Allowing each nation to maintain monetary policy control
- **Security First:** Implementing quantum-resistant cryptography and defense in depth
- **Open Standards:** Free, publicly available specifications without vendor lock-in

### Key Principles

1. **Technology Neutrality:** Support for multiple blockchain and distributed ledger technologies
2. **Layered Architecture:** Separation of concerns enabling independent innovation at each layer
3. **Privacy by Design:** Built-in privacy preservation techniques
4. **Security in Depth:** Multiple security layers with quantum-resistant defaults
5. **Extensibility:** Forward-compatible design allowing future enhancements
6. **Regulatory Flexibility:** Accommodates different regulatory frameworks

### Technical Specification

#### Data Structures

All privacy mechanisms data structures **MUST** be represented in JSON format conforming to RFC 8259, with the following schema:

```json
{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "standard": "WIA-FIN-005",
  "timestamp": "ISO-8601 format",
  "component": "privacy_mechanisms",
  "data": {
    // Component-specific data
  },
  "metadata": {
    "creator": "string",
    "signature": "base64-encoded signature",
    "certificationLevel": "compatible|certified|full"
  }
}
```

#### Validation Rules

All implementations **MUST** validate:

1. **Format Compliance:** Data structures conform to JSON schema
2. **Signature Verification:** Cryptographic signatures are valid
3. **Timestamp Validity:** Timestamps are within acceptable clock drift (±300 seconds)
4. **Version Compatibility:** Version numbers are supported
5. **Required Fields:** All mandatory fields are present and correctly typed

#### Security Requirements

##### Cryptographic Algorithms

Implementations **MUST** support quantum-resistant cryptography:

- **Digital Signatures:** CRYSTALS-Dilithium (primary), FALCON (compact alternative)
- **Key Encapsulation:** CRYSTALS-Kyber
- **Hash Functions:** SHA3-256, BLAKE3
- **Symmetric Encryption:** AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305

Legacy algorithms (ECDSA, Ed25519, SHA-256) **MAY** be supported for backward compatibility but **MUST NOT** be used for new deployments without migration plans.

##### Key Management

1. **Key Generation:** Use cryptographically secure random number generators (CSRNG)
2. **Key Storage:** Hardware Security Modules (HSM) or secure elements for production keys
3. **Key Rotation:** Support key rotation with 90-day maximum lifetime for operational keys
4. **Key Backup:** Encrypted backup with geographic redundancy

#### Performance Requirements

Implementations **MUST** meet the following performance targets:

| Metric | Requirement | Measurement Method |
|--------|-------------|-------------------|
| Transaction Throughput | ≥ 10,000 TPS | Sustained load test, 1 hour |
| API Response Time (P99) | ≤ 100ms | Under normal load |
| Cross-Border Settlement | ≤ 10 seconds | End-to-end latency |
| System Availability | ≥ 99.99% | Annual uptime |
| Data Consistency | Strong consistency | Linearizability guarantee |

#### Privacy Considerations

Implementations **SHOULD** support multiple privacy levels:

1. **Tier 1 (Full Privacy):** Zero-knowledge proofs for transaction validation
   - Amount hidden via Pedersen commitments
   - Sender/recipient hidden via ring signatures or zkSNARKs
   - Suitable for small transactions (<$100 equivalent)

2. **Tier 2 (Controlled Anonymity):** Pseudonymous transactions
   - Amounts visible to authorities, hidden from public
   - Pseudonymous identities linkable by authorities
   - Suitable for medium transactions ($100-$1,000)

3. **Tier 3 (Regulatory Transparency):** Full KYC with audit trail
   - All transaction details logged and auditable
   - Real-time sanctions screening
   - Suitable for large transactions (>$1,000)

### Implementation Examples

#### Example 1: Basic Implementation

```typescript
import { PrivacyMechanisms, ValidationResult } from '@wia/cbdc';

// Initialize component
const component = new PrivacyMechanisms({
  cbdcId: 'digital-yuan',
  network: 'mainnet',
  privateKey: process.env.CBDC_PRIVATE_KEY
});

// Perform operation
const result = await component.execute({
  // operation parameters
});

// Validate result
const validation: ValidationResult = await component.validate(result);
if (!validation.valid) {
  console.error('Validation failed:', validation.errors);
  throw new Error('Invalid result');
}

console.log('Success:', result);
```

#### Example 2: Cross-Border Scenario

```typescript
// Cross-border privacy mechanisms example
const sourceCBDC = new WIACBDC({ cbdcId: 'digital-yuan' });
const targetCBDC = new WIACBDC({ cbdcId: 'digital-euro' });

// Initiate cross-border operation
const crossBorderOp = await PrivacyMechanisms.crossBorder({
  source: sourceCBDC,
  target: targetCBDC,
  amount: '1000.00',
  exchangeRate: 0.14 // CNY to EUR
});

// Monitor settlement
const status = await crossBorderOp.waitForSettlement({
  timeout: 30000 // 30 seconds
});

console.log('Settlement status:', status);
```

### Testing Requirements

All implementations **MUST** pass the following test categories:

1. **Unit Tests:** Component-level functionality (>90% code coverage)
2. **Integration Tests:** Component interaction and data flow
3. **Security Tests:** Penetration testing, vulnerability scanning
4. **Performance Tests:** Load testing, stress testing, endurance testing
5. **Conformance Tests:** WIA test suite validation
