Hi all, We have refreshed the proposal for BIP324, a new bitcoin P2P protocol featuring opportunistic encryption, a mild bandwidth reduction, and the ability to negotiate upgrades before exchanging application messages. We'd like to invite community members to review the BIP[1] and the related Bitcoin Core code[2].
The proposal has a rich history[3]. The big changes since the last public appearance[4] are: * Elligator-swift encoding for the pubkeys in the ECDH exchange to obtain a pseudorandom bytestream * x-only ECDH secret derivation * Transport versioning that allows for upgradability * Trafic shapability using decoy packets and a shapable handshake * Complete rewrite of the BIP text We look forward to your review and comments. -Dhruv, Tim and Pieter [1] BIP Pull Request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1378 [2] All historical and current PRs: https://bip324.com/sections/code-review/ [3] https://bip324.com/sections/bip-review/ [4] https://gist.github.com/dhruv/5b1275751bc98f3b64bcafce7876b489 _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
