A Signing Intent

An intent is a compact struct that serves as the domain separator for a message that a signature commits to. It consists of three parts:

  1. IntentScope (what the type of the message is)
  2. IntentVersion
  3. IntentAppId (what application the signature refers to).

The serialization of an Intent is a 3-byte array where each field is represented by a byte and it is prepended onto a message before it is signed in IOTA.

The BCS serialized form for this type is defined by the following ABNF:

intent = intent-scope intent-version intent-app-id
