Module network_clique::protocols::handshake

Structs

• Challenge 🔒
  Handshake challenge. Contains public key of the creator, and a random nonce.
• Response 🔒
  Handshake response. Contains public key of the creator, and signature related to the received challenge.

Enums

• HandshakeError
  Handshake error.

Constants

• HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT

Functions

• execute_v0_handshake_incoming
  Performs the handshake with a peer that called us. The goal is to obtain the public key of the peer, and split the communication stream into two halves. The peer needs to prove their identity by signing a randomly generated challenge, but apart from that, the returned communication channels will NOT be secured in any way. We assume that if the channel is compromised after the handshake, the peer will establish another connection, which will replace the current one.
• execute_v0_handshake_outgoing
  Performs the handshake with a peer that we called. We assume that their public key is known to us. The goal is to authenticate ourselves, and split the communication stream into two halves. We need to prove our identity by signing a randomly generated challenge, but apart from that, the returned communication channels will NOT be secured in any way. We assume that if the channel is compromised after the handshake, we will establish another connection, which will replace the current one.
• v0_handshake_incoming
  Wrapper that adds timeout to the function performing handshake.
• v0_handshake_outgoing
  Wrapper that adds timeout to the function performing handshake.
