+# Typed data hashing and signing
+
+## Common structure
+
+The whole idea is heavily inspired by [EIP-712](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-712#definition-of-domainseparator). To get a signature needed to calculate `hash(hash(domain), hash(aci), hash(data))`.
+
+`hash` function is `blake2b`.
+
+`domain` is a record containing not required properties:
+- `name` as string,
+- `version` as integer,
+- `networkId` as string,
+- `contractAddress` as ct-encoded string.
+
+`aci` is part of a complete contract ACI. It defines a type of data to sign. For example, the ACI
+```json
+{
+  "record": [
+    { "name": "foo", "type": "string" },
+    { "name": "bar", "type": "int" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+would correspond to the data
+```json
+{ "foo": "test", "bar": 42 }
+```
+
+`domain` and `data` are fate-encoded before hashing. `aci` is prepared for hashing according to [RFC8785](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8785).
+
+## Implementation
+
+- [encodeFateValue](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/src/utils/typed-data.ts#L41-L49) -- use to generate the first argument for `signTypedData`;
+- [AccountBase::signTypedData](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/src/account/Base.ts#L63-L70) -- calculates signature, supported in MemoryAccount and in aepp-wallet connection;
+
+- [hashTypedData](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/src/utils/typed-data.ts#L84-L90) -- calculates the overall hash of typed data to sign;
+- [decodeFateValue](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/src/utils/typed-data.ts#L52-L60) -- use to preview data to sign on wallet side;
+- [hashJson](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/src/utils/typed-data.ts#L13-L15) -- deterministic hashing of an arbitrary JS value, used to calculate `hash(aci)`;
+- [hashDomain](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/src/utils/typed-data.ts#L65-L82) -- use for debugging or to prepare the hash value for smart contract.
+
+## Examples
+
+- [signing and verifying on aepp side](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/examples/browser/aepp/src/TypedData.vue)
+- [signing confirmation on wallet side](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/examples/browser/wallet-iframe/src/App.vue#L105-L111)
+- [verifying a signature on contract side](https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/08ea28a8ee12abb4d5f1be36fa7ccc63bc217f05/test/integration/typed-data.ts#L97-L127)
