* GIXP: General Identity Exchange Protocol.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* As we're always running into troubles with GPG signatures... we are going to
|
||||
* create a layer of RSA Keys for the following properties:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* 1) RSA Keys can be Anonymous, Self-Signed with Pseudonym, Signed by GPG Key.
|
||||
* To clarify:
|
||||
* a. This forms a layer of keys stay between GPG and pub/priv publish key ?
|
||||
* b. Difference between anonymous and pseudonym keys?
|
||||
* - Anonymous cannot be signed?
|
||||
* -
|
||||
* c. To some extent this determines security model of RsGeneralExchangeService
|
||||
|
||||
* - Anonymous & Pseudonym Keys will be shared network-wide (Hop by Hop).
|
||||
- GPG signed Keys will only be shared if we can validate the signature
|
||||
(providing similar behaviour to existing GPG Keys).

|
||||
* 2) These keys can be used anywhere, specifically in the protocols described below.
|
||||
* 3) These keys can be used to sign, encrypt, verify & decrypt
|
||||
* 4) Keys will never need to be directly accessed - stored in this class.
|
||||
* a. I guess can work solely through Id
|
||||
* b. Use Case: Receivve a message, has a key id, request
|
||||
* 5) They will be cached locally and exchanged p2p, by pull request.
|
||||
* 6) This class will use the generalised packet storage for efficient caching & loading.
|
||||
* 7) Data will be stored encrypted.
