# Which Problems Are Solved
The payload in actions V2 is currently sent as JSON to the target
endpoint. It might get exposed to intermediary infrastructure or logging
systems.
For these scenarios there needs to be an application-layer encryption,
where the provider of the endpoint can define an key to be used for the
encryption.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Added an additional option to the target to specify the payload type:
`JSON` (current and default), `JWT`, `JWE` (api and console)
- added endpoints to upload and manage public keys (to be used for
encryption) for a target
- updated all action v2 executions (interceptors, oidc, saml, ...) to
provide the `GetActiveSigningWebKey` from queries
- implemented jwt and jwe in the exections incl. refactoring of code and
tests
- changes to the authn_keys table:
- added a `fingerprint` column
- dropped not null constraint on expiration
- moved the `GetSignerOnce` into its own package to prevent circular
dependencies

This PR initiates the rework of Zitadel's backend to state-persisted
objects. This change is a step towards a more scalable and maintainable
architecture.
## Changes
* **New `/backend/v3` package**: A new package structure has been
introduced to house the reworked backend logic. This includes:
* `domain`: Contains the core business logic, commands, and repository
interfaces.
* `storage`: Implements the repository interfaces for database
interactions with new transactional tables.
* `telemetry`: Provides logging and tracing capabilities.
* **Transactional Tables**: New database tables have been defined for
`instances`, `instance_domains`, `organizations`, and `org_domains`.
* **Projections**: New projections have been created to populate the new
relational tables from the existing event store, ensuring data
consistency during the migration.
* **Repositories**: New repositories provide an abstraction layer for
accessing and manipulating the data in the new tables.
* **Setup**: A new setup step for `TransactionalTables` has been added
to manage the database migrations for the new tables.
This PR lays the foundation for future work to fully transition to
state-persisted objects for these components, which will improve
performance and simplify data access patterns.
This PR initiates the rework of ZITADEL's backend to state-persisted
objects. This is a foundational step towards a new architecture that
will improve performance and maintainability.
The following objects are migrated from event-sourced aggregates to
state-persisted objects:
* Instances
* incl. Domains
* Orgs
* incl. Domains
The structure of the new backend implementation follows the software
architecture defined in this [wiki
page](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/wiki/Software-Architecturel).
This PR includes:
* The initial implementation of the new transactional repositories for
the objects listed above.
* Projections to populate the new relational tables from the existing
event store.
* Adjustments to the build and test process to accommodate the new
backend structure.
This is a work in progress and further changes will be made to complete
the migration.
