Replay could be used to reliably find missing messages. I was wondering about including a “greatest known message signature” field to create a distributed hash table of messages.
This would also make “replay” difficult, because it would reference an old message.
Very excited to see discussion around this topic! I think a solution for preventing replay attacks is a must with the next update of the protocol and I'd love to use this thread as a platform for discussion about this topic in general.
So far, here are my thoughts:
I've opened an RFC to include a timestamp in the chattervox protocol https://github.com/brannondorsey/chattervox/issues/19.
