Verify each identity only once #48

Open oed opened 5 years ago

oed commented 5 years ago

Right now every call to verifyIdentity verifies the signature done by the particular identity. In an ipfs-log with a lot of entries done by the same identity this creates a lot of computational overhead.

An easy way to mitigate this is to maintain a cache of identities that have been verified so that each identity (identity + key) only needs to be verified once.
