+LibEuFin Architecture
+#####################
+
+Sandbox
+=======
+
+* the sandbox's EBICS API emulates the behavior of a real bank's EBICS
+  interface
+
+* *(Only in the future)*:  FinTS API and other FinTech APIs
+
+* the sandbox's management API allows an administrator to:
+
+  * create new **bank** accounts
+  * create new **EBICS subscriber** accounts
+
+    * a subscriber has (optionally?) a SystemID (for technical subscribers),
+      a UserID and a PartnerID
+    * each bank account has a list of subscribers than can access it
+
+  * delete accounts
+  * ...
+
+* the sandbox's "miscellaneous" API provides public functionality that is not 
covered
+  directly by EBICS, such as:
+
+  * a way to get the transactions in form of a JSON message, to check if it 
matches the EBICS response
+
+    * you could call it a "reference history"
+
+  * publicly accessible key management functionality, for example for the 
EBICS INI process
+
+    * this is the "electronic version" of sending an HIA/INI letter
+
+* things that we do **not** want to implement right now:
+
+  * Distributed electronic signatures.  For now, it is enough for every order
+    to be signed just by one authorized subscriber.
+
+Nexus
+=====
+
+The Nexus takes JSON requests and translates them into API calls for the
+respective real bank accounts (EBICS, FinTS, ...).  It also stores the bank
+transaction history to enable a linearlized view on the transaction history
+with unique transaction identifier, which some of the underlying banking APIs
+don't provide directly.
+
+``libeufin-nexus-httpd`` is the binary (or wrapper around the Java invocation)
+that runs the HTTP service.
+
+
+CLI Tools
+=========
+
+The Sandbox and Nexus are only HTTP services.  The CLI tools are used to
+actually access them.

 EBICS
 #####
 
+.. warning::
+
+  This document summarizes and clarifies some aspects of the EBICS protocol
+  that are important to LibEuFin.  Both version 3.0 and 2.5 are discussed here.
+
+  It is not a specification, and it does not replace the official EBICS 
specification.
