handshake

Documentation

Overview

Package handshake implements protocols for identifying the peer.

These protocols are used before some proper sync protocols, to figure out who we are talking to. This is currently not cryptographically secure, but as long as we don't punish peers, which send some wrong information this shouldn't impact anything negatively.
