I am not able to get the flow of execution for this action type. Could you please elaborate
the flow in the documentation. If not in documentation right now, then please elaborate the
flow in cover letter.
Also I see that there are new APIs for processing crypto operations in bulk.
What does that mean. How are they different from the existing APIs which are also
handling bulk crypto ops depending on the budget.
