Allow mixnet nodes to obtain mixnet document from the blockchain instead of the authorities. #17

Open sbc64 opened 4 years ago

sbc64 commented 4 years ago

All mixnet nodes dial on startup an authority node to obtain their layer and to push the services (goerli, messaging) it offers into the epoch document. The fetching of the current epoch is currently done through the katzenpost p2p networking code, and not its tendermint p2p networking equivalent.

Considerations: https://github.com/hashcloak/katzenmint-pki/blob/master/specs/tendermint_pki_spec.md#privacy-considerations

Goals: all nodes should obtain their documents from the blockchin instead of katzenmint p2p networking
