Types

type Iterator

type Iterator interface {
	// Next runs the next round of the protocol.
	// Returns `ErrProtocolFinished` when protocol has completed.
	Next(input *Message) (*Message, error)

	// Result returns the final result, if any, of the completed protocol.
	// Returns nil if the protocol has not yet terminated.
	// Returns an error if an error was encountered during protocol execution.
	Result(version uint) (*Message, error)
}

Iterator an interface for the DKLs18 protocols that follows the iterator pattern.

type Message

type Message struct {
	// Protocol indicates whether this is a dkg or sign protocol.
	Protocol string

	// Version specifies the version of the protocol. We use a single version for changes in the protocol logic and/or
	// its serialization.
	Version uint

	// Payloads is a mapping of the serialized data to the recipient. An example of key to this map is "broadcast" vs
	// the shamir id of a peer.
	Payloads map[string][]byte

	// Metadata contain optional metadata for each round of the protocol, for example the round name or number.
	Metadata map[string]string
}

Message provides serializers and deserializer for the inputs and outputs of each step of the protocol. Moreover, it adds some metadata and versioning around the serialized data.
