<h1 id="architecture"><strong>Architecture</strong></h1>
<p>The CAPIF architecture has three main components, Register Service, Vault and CCF, which are represented in the following image:</p>
<p><img alt="New Architecture" src="../images/architecture/New_Architecture.png" /></p>
<p>Each component is separated into different namespaces and all communications between them use Rest APIs.</p>
<p>Apart from the communication between components, there are 2 other entities that can use them:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Admin/superadmin</strong>: Responsible for managing users with the Register or carrying out special operations in the CCF.</li>
<li><strong>Users</strong>: They are those who want to use CAPIF, registering as a user in the Register and as Invoker or Provider in the CCF.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="register-ns"><strong>Register NS</strong></h2>
<p>This namespace belongs to the Register service, and we find 2 components:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Register Service</strong>: It is responsible for managing all users who use CAPIF, in addition to providing the necessary information for its use.</li>
<li><strong>Register MONGO DATABASE</strong>: It is the Register database, in it we store all the information about registered users.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="vault-ns"><strong>Vault NS</strong></h2>
<p>This namespace belongs to Vault. </p>
<p>This component is responsible for managing all CAPIF certificates, so other components such as the Register or the CCF communicate with it to create new certificates or request keys.</p>
<h2 id="mon-ns"><strong>Mon NS</strong></h2>
<p>This is the main namespace of CAPIF, since it contains all the CCF services in addition to other components:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>NGINX</strong>: Responsible for acting as a reverse proxy to distribute CAPIF requests to the different services, controlling whether or not they are authorized to access them.</li>
<li><strong>REDIS</strong>: Used for internal communication of services.</li>
<li><strong>CAPIF MONGO DATABASE</strong>: CAPIF database, where all information related to CAPIF services such as invokers, registered providers or published services is stored.</li>
<li><strong>HELPER</strong>: Service that simplifies integration with third parties such as external management portals.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="new-architecture"><strong>New Architecture</strong></h2>
