Something works but could be better
Our current documentation of
ParticipantId
s is:Up to now, I thought that
ParticipantId
s where ephemeral objects which we could arbitrarily choose to run a subprotocol: e.g. keygen and then forget about them. It turns out that the same set ofParticipantId
s must be used to for all sub-protocols for a given key. This is somewhat implied by the documentation:Note the above say "they can use the same same of id..." but it should actually say "they must use...". We should improve the documentation for
ParticipantId
s.Notes, Suggested Improvements, Questions:
ParticipantId
s to key material, for a given key.Participant
probably needs to remember the Ids of all members of it's quorum? For the lifetime of a key.ParticipantId
to each node and reuse it across keys? Should we be generating a new ID per key and persisting this information for the lifetime of the key? Not only this ID, but the IDs of all othersParticipant
s in this quorum? Just wanted to highlight this is quite a bit of bookkeeping.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
