A flexible P2P networking library for upgradable distributed systems. The core mission of `airwave` is to provide a simple P2P interface that can support a wide variety of different algorithms, with a focus on backwards compatible. The P2P interface supports:

- Peer discovery

- Handshake 

- Casting (send to one)

- Multicasting (send to many)

- Broadcasting (send to everyone)

### Handshake

Airwave uses a 3 way sync handshake method to authorize peers in the network. The process is as follows:

![](docs/handshake.svg)

The client sends a signed rsa public key on connect. The server validates the signature, generates a random challenge, and sends the signed random challenge encrypted with the client's public key; and the server's public key. The client validates the server's signature decrypts the challenge encrypts it with the server's publickey, signs it and sends it back.
