+If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum, please fork, fix, commit and send a 
+pull request for the maintainers to review and merge into the main code base. If
+you wish to submit more complex changes though, please check up with the core 
+devs first on [our gitter channel](https://gitter.im/ethereum/go-ethereum) to 
+ensure those changes are in line with the general philosophy of the project 
+and/or get some early feedback which can make both your efforts much lighter as

+ * Code must be documented adhering to the official Go 
+[commentary](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#commentary) guidelines.
+ * Pull requests need to be based on and opened against the `master` branch.
+ * Commit messages should be prefixed with the package(s) they modify.
+   * E.g. "eth, rpc: make trace configs optional"
+

It operates on plain [Ethereum contract ABIs](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI) with expanded functionality if the contract bytecode is also available.

-Binary Merkle Tree Hash is a hash function over arbitrary datachunks of limited size
-It is defined as the root hash of the binary merkle tree built over fixed size segments
-of the underlying chunk using any base hash function (e.g keccak 256 SHA3)
-
-It is used as the chunk hash function in swarm which in turn is the basis for the
-128 branching swarm hash http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture.html#swarm-hash
-
-The BMT is optimal for providing compact inclusion proofs, i.e. prove that a
-segment is a substring of a chunk starting at a particular offset
-The size of the underlying segments is fixed at 32 bytes (called the resolution
-of the BMT hash), the EVM word size to optimize for on-chain BMT verification
-as well as the hash size optimal for inclusion proofs in the merkle tree of the swarm hash.
-
-Two implementations are provided:
-
-* RefHasher is optimized for code simplicity and meant as a reference implementation
-* Hasher is optimized for speed taking advantage of concurrency with minimalistic
-  control structure to coordinate the concurrent routines
-  It implements the ChunkHash interface as well as the go standard hash.Hash interface

+## UI Client interface
+
+These data types are defined in the channel between clef and the UI
+### SignDataRequest
+
+SignDataRequest contains information about a pending request to sign some data. The data to be signed can be of various types, defined by content-type. Clef has done most of the work in canonicalizing and making sense of the data, and it's up to the UI to presentthe user with the contents of the `message`
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "content_type": "text/plain",
+  "address": "0xDEADbEeF000000000000000000000000DeaDbeEf",
+  "raw_data": "GUV0aGVyZXVtIFNpZ25lZCBNZXNzYWdlOgoxMWhlbGxvIHdvcmxk",
+  "message": [
+    {
+      "name": "message",
+      "value": "\u0019Ethereum Signed Message:\n11hello world",
+      "type": "text/plain"
+    }
+  ],
+  "hash": "0xd9eba16ed0ecae432b71fe008c98cc872bb4cc214d3220a36f365326cf807d68",
+  "meta": {
+    "remote": "localhost:9999",
+    "local": "localhost:8545",
+    "scheme": "http",
+    "User-Agent": "Firefox 3.2",
+    "Origin": "www.malicious.ru"
+  }
+}
+```
+### SignDataResponse - approve
+
+Response to SignDataRequest
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "approved": true
+}
+```
+### SignDataResponse - deny
+
+Response to SignDataRequest
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "approved": false
+}
+```
+### SignTxRequest
+
+SignTxRequest contains information about a pending request to sign a transaction. Aside from the transaction itself, there is also a `call_info`-struct. That struct contains messages of various types, that the user should be informed of.
+
+As in any request, it's important to consider that the `meta` info also contains untrusted data.
+
+The `transaction` (on input into clef) can have either `data` or `input` -- if both are set, they must be identical, otherwise an error is generated. However, Clef will always use `data` when passing this struct on (if Clef does otherwise, please file a ticket)
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "transaction": {
+    "from": "0xDEADbEeF000000000000000000000000DeaDbeEf",
+    "to": null,
+    "gas": "0x3e8",
+    "gasPrice": "0x5",
+    "value": "0x6",
+    "nonce": "0x1",
+    "data": "0x01020304"
+  },
+  "call_info": [
+    {
+      "type": "Warning",
+      "message": "Something looks odd, show this message as a warning"
+    },
+    {
+      "type": "Info",
+      "message": "User should see this aswell"
+    }
+  ],
+  "meta": {
+    "remote": "localhost:9999",
+    "local": "localhost:8545",
+    "scheme": "http",
+    "User-Agent": "Firefox 3.2",
+    "Origin": "www.malicious.ru"
+  }
+}
+```
+### SignTxResponse - approve
+
+Response to request to sign a transaction. This response needs to contain the `transaction`, because the UI is free to make modifications to the transaction.
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "transaction": {
+    "from": "0xDEADbEeF000000000000000000000000DeaDbeEf",
+    "to": null,
+    "gas": "0x3e8",
+    "gasPrice": "0x5",
+    "value": "0x6",
+    "nonce": "0x4",
+    "data": "0x04030201"
+  },
+  "approved": true
+}
+```
+### SignTxResponse - deny
+
+Response to SignTxRequest. When denying a request, there's no need to provide the transaction in return
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "transaction": {
+    "from": "0x",
+    "to": null,
+    "gas": "0x0",
+    "gasPrice": "0x0",
+    "value": "0x0",
+    "nonce": "0x0",
+    "data": null
+  },
+  "approved": false
+}
+```
+### OnApproved - SignTransactionResult
+
+SignTransactionResult is used in the call `clef` -> `OnApprovedTx(result)`
+
+This occurs _after_ successful completion of the entire signing procedure, but right before the signed transaction is passed to the external caller. This method (and data) can be used by the UI to signal to the user that the transaction was signed, but it is primarily useful for ruleset implementations.
+
+A ruleset that implements a rate limitation needs to know what transactions are sent out to the external interface. By hooking into this methods, the ruleset can maintain track of that count.
+
+**OBS:** Note that if an attacker can restore your `clef` data to a previous point in time (e.g through a backup), the attacker can reset such windows, even if he/she is unable to decrypt the content. 
+
+The `OnApproved` method cannot be responded to, it's purely informative
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "raw": "0xf85d640101948a8eafb1cf62bfbeb1741769dae1a9dd47996192018026a0716bd90515acb1e68e5ac5867aa11a1e65399c3349d479f5fb698554ebc6f293a04e8a4ebfff434e971e0ef12c5bf3a881b06fd04fc3f8b8a7291fb67a26a1d4ed",
+  "tx": {
+    "nonce": "0x64",
+    "gasPrice": "0x1",
+    "gas": "0x1",
+    "to": "0x8a8eafb1cf62bfbeb1741769dae1a9dd47996192",
+    "value": "0x1",
+    "input": "0x",
+    "v": "0x26",
+    "r": "0x716bd90515acb1e68e5ac5867aa11a1e65399c3349d479f5fb698554ebc6f293",
+    "s": "0x4e8a4ebfff434e971e0ef12c5bf3a881b06fd04fc3f8b8a7291fb67a26a1d4ed",

+  }
+}
+```
+### UserInputRequest
+
+Sent when clef needs the user to provide data. If 'password' is true, the input field should be treated accordingly (echo-free)
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "The question to ask the user",
+  "title": "The title here",
+  "isPassword": true
+}
+```
+### UserInputResponse
+
+Response to UserInputRequest
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "text": "The textual response from user"
+}
+```
+### ListRequest
+
+Sent when a request has been made to list addresses. The UI is provided with the full `account`s, including local directory names. Note: this information is not passed back to the external caller, who only sees the `address`es. 
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "accounts": [
+    {
+      "address": "0xdeadbeef000000000000000000000000deadbeef",
+      "url": "keystore:///path/to/keyfile/a"
+    },
+    {
+      "address": "0x1111111122222222222233333333334444444444",
+      "url": "keystore:///path/to/keyfile/b"
+    }
+  ],
+  "meta": {
+    "remote": "localhost:9999",
+    "local": "localhost:8545",
+    "scheme": "http",
+    "User-Agent": "Firefox 3.2",
+    "Origin": "www.malicious.ru"
+  }
+}
+```
+### ListResponse
+
+Response to list request. The response contains a list of all addresses to show to the caller. Note: the UI is free to respond with any address the caller, regardless of whether it exists or not
+
+Example:
+```json
+{
+  "accounts": [
+    {
+      "address": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
+      "url": ".. ignored .."
+    },
+    {
+      "address": "0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff",
+      "url": ""
+    }
+  ]
+}

 ### Changelog for external API

+### 6.0.0

+* `New` was changed to deliver only an address, not the full `Account` data
+* `Export` was moved from External API to the UI Server API
+
+#### 5.0.0
+
+* The external `account_EcRecover`-method was reimplemented.
+* The external method `account_sign(address, data)` was replaced with `account_signData(contentType, address, data)`.
+The addition of `contentType` makes it possible to use the method for different types of objects, such as:
+  * signing data with an intended validator (not yet implemented)
+  * signing clique headers,
+  * signing plain personal messages,
+* The external method `account_signTypedData` implements [EIP-712](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-712.md) and makes it possible to sign typed data.
+  
+#### 4.0.0
+
+* The external `account_Ecrecover`-method was removed. 
+* The external `account_Import`-method was removed.
+
+#### 3.0.0
+
+* The external `account_List`-method was changed to not expose `url`, which contained info about the local filesystem. It now returns only a list of addresses. 

 #### 2.0.0
