Gateway Architecture
The RTGS.global Gateway is a Microsoft Azure Marketplace deployment that functions as a node within the RTGS.global private network. Each participant gateway can establish relationships with other participant gateways, though all communication is relayed through RTGS.global jurisdictions rather than occurring directly between participants.
Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| RTGS.global Network Connector | Establishes a private link to the RTGS.global network |
| RTGS.global Gateway | Container applications that route HTTP traffic and manage asynchronous event responses |
| RTGS.global Signing | A hosted Aries instance responsible for digital signatures |
Design Principles
The architecture follows an HTTP in, Events out pattern, enabling asynchronous communication and technology-agnostic integration through standard transport protocols (HTTP and webhooks).
Security and Verification
Each gateway automatically maintains a relationship with RTGS.global and digitally signs all traffic. The system offers optional independent message verification using public information from the Indicio blockchain ledger.
This dual approach — digital signatures combined with HTTPS/TLS encryption — ensures message integrity by verifying that the sender, recipient, and payload remain unchanged.
Multiple Gateways
Organisations may deploy multiple gateways depending on their operations across different global financial jurisdictions.
