Hole Protocol

Process of messaging

Each user have kind of a bin among freenet network,in which anyone can put message. And for each user this bin is his USK insert key. Each message signed by sender. And user can answer to sender, buy putting message at sender insert key if he know it.

user IDs

Each user have unique pseudonym for each user whom he communicates. Thos pseudonyms uses by user to identify who is sender end establish message flow. The "message flow" is important here.

• Probably, for each pair of each people we will not only one unique identifier but... I'm not going to do it in further releases. TODO

Message request

To receive a new message we have to send ClientGet to our USK request key with URI like /user_id-message_version. As well, the identifier is consists of user_id-message_number For example:

ClientGet
URI=USK@myMessageBinKey/messages/user5678-3 
Identifier=request-user5678-3
Verbosity=0
ReturnType=direct
EndMessage

Message sending

To send a message to a friend we putting it at his USK insert key, with URI like/my_id-$(number_of_messages_to_this_user + 1). And identifier like user_id-$(number_of_messages_to_this_user + 1) For example:

ClientGet
URI=USK@myFriendBinKey/messages/user3246-5
Identifier=user3501-5
Verbosity=0
ReturnType=direct
EndMessage

Adding friend

Hole generates file, which alice have to send to bob somehow, and bob have to do the same. This file will contain unique ID and two keys
