An update on the encryption protocol

Hi! :wave:

We’re pretty close to finalizing our encryption protocol:

This^ document includes:

  1. Bootstrapping the network
  2. Registration of new nodes
  3. Contracts state encryption
  4. Contracts inputs and outputs encryption

Still not finished:

  1. How network upgrades can occur without losing state and tx input/output history.
  2. How to generate contract_id in a trusted way, to prevent two contracts having the same encryption key (this section).

We’d love to get your feedback on this! :blush:
So please ask us hard questions, including about all of the “TODO reasoning” and about attack vectors.

All,

This is meaningful update to our earlier posts (1, 2). As expected, as we went deeper into the details there were quite a few small tweaks and changes to be made.

The general ideas are still the same. These are mostly finer implementation details but as spec goes - this is where people should look at.

Thanks @assafmo, @reuven, @toml and others for helping in finding solutions through our internal discussions. We welcome any outside feedback and issues that are raised.
