Types

type Ad

type Ad struct {

	// ID is a random number generated for each new add that practically guarantees
	// no repeated hash for a message to be signed with the same peer identity key.
	ID nonce.ID

	// Key is the public identity key of the peer.
	Key *crypto.Pub

	// Expiry is the time after which this ad is considered no longer current.
	Expiry time.Time

	// Sig is the signature, which must match the Key above.
	Sig crypto.SigBytes
}

Ad is an abstract message that isn't actually used, but rather is composed into the rest being the common fields to all ads.
