Configurable finite field modulus

Open cmars opened this issue 12 years ago • 0 comments

conflux.recon and its subpackages are hardcoded to use a constant prime from SKS for the finite field in which all arithmetic occurs. This modulus is designed for enclosing 128-bit MD5 values.

conflux could be made configurable to support arbitrary finite fields for enclosing larger keys. This would allow content-addressable key synchronization with larger, more secure, FIPS-compatible hashes: SHA1, SHA2 family & beyond.
