 * Payment code: an extended public key and associated metadata which is associated with a particular identity/account
 * Notification address: the P2PKH address associated with the 0<sup>th</sup> public key derived from a payment code
 * Notification transaction: a transaction which sends an output to a notification address which includes an embedded payment code
+* Designated input: the first input in the notification transaction which exposes an secp256k1 pubkey in either its signature script, or in the redeem script or pubkey script of the output being spent
+* Designated pubkey: the first secp256k1 pubkey pushed to the stack during script execution for the designated input
+* Outpoint: the specific output of a previous transaction which is being spent. See the Reference section for the binary serialization
