# Glossary and References

**BLE GATT.** Bluetooth Low Energy Generic Attribute Profile — the application layer over which TaτsuOS receipts are written to a device.

**ECDSA.** Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm — the signature scheme TaτsuOS uses, instantiated over the secp256k1 curve.

**Feature ID.** A `bytes32` value, typically `keccak256` of a human-readable name (e.g. `keccak256("GPS_TRACKING")`).

**Device ID.** A `bytes32` value computed from the device's hardware-unique identifier, used to bind a receipt to a specific physical device.

**Receipt.** A 130-byte signed payload that authorizes a single feature unlock on a single device.

**TATSU.** The Taτsu Ecosystem's utility token.

**TimescaleDB.** A time-series-optimized extension of PostgreSQL, used as the cloud's primary store.

**Zephyr.** A Linux Foundation project — a small, permissively licensed real-time operating system targeting resource-constrained devices.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tatsu.gitbook.io/tatsu-whitepaper/glossary-and-references.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
