identities</em></h1><p>A protocol and implementation of self-issued network identities capable of:</p><ul><li>Resistance to identity attacks ("eclipse", "sybil", "spartatus", and friends).</li><li>End-to-end encrypted message format built-in.</li><li>Enveloped/nested/"onion" routing capabilities.</li><li>Compatibility with bitcoin, ethereum, etc (if you are into that sort of

</code></pre><h2 id="what">what</h2><p>"Eclipse attacks" refers to a class of identity-based exploits that can emerge in structured networks where nodes are allowed to select their own routing key. This can allow a group of malicious nodes to place themselves in the routing paths of a target and are thereby able to censor or provoke erroneous behavior in a target.</p><p>rise employs a memory-hard proof-of-work crypto puzzle that nodes must solve in order to establish a network identity. The difficulty of this puzzle is tunable based on the network architecture and security model of the system utilizing it. This general approach is detailed in the <a href="https://telematics.tm.kit.edu/publications/Files/267/SKademlia_2007.pdf">S/Kademlia</a> research paper.</p><h2 id="how">how</h2><p>rise identity <code>fingerprint</code>s (analogous to <em>nodeID</em>) are:</p><pre class="prettyprint source"><code>RMD160 ( SHA256 (
EQUIHASH ( NETWORK_DIFFICULTY,
SHA256 ( SECP256K1.PUBLIC_KEY )
)
) )
</code></pre><p>When generating a network identity, first a node generates a secp256k1 ESDSA key pair. The public key is hashed and used as the input to mine an equihash solution. This process repeats until a solution of the network-defined difficulty is found. The solution is then hashed with sha256 and a final round of ripemd160.</p><p>The resulting hash is the node's routing key or "fingerprint". Messages exchanged between nodes include the public key, the equihash solution, and an ECDSA signature so that messages can be validated, authenticated, and end-to-end encrypted. A fingerprint is only valid if it is the hash of a verified equihash solution matching the difficulty.</p><p>Experiment with difficulty adjustments to what suits the network and threat model. The default parameters are <strong>N = 90</strong>, <strong>K = 5</strong>, with a resulting solution containing <strong>6 leading zeroes</strong>.</p><h2 id="using">using</h2><p>This reference implementation is written in Javascript - except for the Equihash solver and verifier, which is a C++ native add-on. The protocol is simple and should be portable to any language. If you port it, I'll list it here <3.</p><h3 id="example%3A-generate-and-save-an-identity">example: generate and save an identity</h3><pre class="prettyprint source lang-js"><code>const { writeFile } = require('node:fs/promises');
