# 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

# Which Problems Are Solved
In actions v2, when the condition `all` is chosen, or a specific method
is not specified for a service action, the actions are not executed.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The wildcard suffix `.*` is used only for event groups. As global
`requests`, `responses` or `services with no specified method` do not
have this suffix, they were bypassing the prefix-match check. This check
therefore does not apply to action types other than `event`
This issue is fixed by removing the `e.ID == "event"` condition when
prefix-matching execution IDs to not exclude other action types
(`request`, `response`, etc).

# Which Problems Are Solved
The event execution system currently uses a projection handler that
subscribes to and processes all events for all instances. This creates a
high static cost because the system over-fetches event data, handling
many events that are not needed by most instances. This inefficiency is
also reflected in high "rows returned" metrics in the database.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Eliminate the use of a project handler. Instead, events for which
"execution targets" are defined, are directly pushed to the queue by the
eventstore. A Router is populated in the Instance object in the authz
middleware.
- By joining the execution targets to the instance, no additional
queries are needed anymore.
- As part of the instance object, execution targets are now cached as
well.
- Events are queued within the same transaction, giving transactional
guarantees on delivery.
- Uses the "insert many fast` variant of River. Multiple jobs are queued
in a single round-trip to the database.
- Fix compatibility with PostgreSQL 15
# Additional Changes
- The signing key was stored as plain-text in the river job payload in
the DB. This violated our [Secrets
Storage](https://zitadel.com/docs/concepts/architecture/secrets#secrets-storage)
principle. This change removed the field and only uses the encrypted
version of the signing key.
- Fixed the target ordering from descending to ascending.
- Some minor linter warnings on the use of `io.WriteString()`.
