* Circles Identity Service
*
* A collection of notes:
*
* We want to be able to express the following types of Circles.
*
* - Public
* - Groups & Messages can be passed onto anyone. ( No Restrictions. )
* - GXS Notes:
* - This is what we have currently.
*
* - External Circle
* - List of Identities that can receive the Group / Messages.
* - This list will be defined via a set of RsIdentities - which have PGPHashes set.
* - We need the PGPHashes to be able to identify which peers can receive msgs.
* - Messages are passed to the Intersection of (Identified PGPHashes & Friends)
* - Distribution of Circle Definitions can be also be restricted via circles.
* - You can have Public External Groups, or Groups that only the Members know about.
* - Control of these External Groups is determined by Admin / Publish Keys.
* - The Danger with External Groups, is your ID wll be associated with other people...
* - Leaking information!!!
* - GXS Notes:
* - p3Circles will provide a distrib list for a given Circle Group.
*
* - Personal Circle or "Your Eyes Only".
* - Same as an Internal Circle Definition. (What will be used for File Sharing initially)
* - Each peer will have a bunch of these, Friends, Family, etc.
*
* - The list is not publically shared, only the originator of the message will distribute.
* - You can communicate back to the originator, who will share with the other members.
* but you mustn't discuss / share content with anyone else.
* - This is quite a Weak / Fragile Group, as there is only one distributor.
* - GXS NOTES:
* - TO make this work, we need GXS or RsCircles to maintain extra info:
* - GXS stores the original source, so communications can go back there.
* - If Originator, GXS store a REFERENCE, Circles turn this into a distrib list of peers.
*
*
*
* Like RsIdentities are used to validation messages,
* RsCircles will be used to determine if a peer can receive a group / messages.
*
* bool RsCircles::canSend(RsCircleId, RsPeerId)
* bool RsCircles::canSend(RsCircleInternalId, RsPeerId)
*
* or maybe just:
*
* bool RsCircles::recipients(GxsPermission &perms, std::list<RsPeerId> friendlist);
*
