One other nice to have is to maintain backwards compatibility with our prior art coming up with a secure capability based auth scheme for Peergos and the associated bitswap extension....
@matheus23 Just a warning that using a UCAN in the token field here would also be totally insecure (in normal ipfs bitswap usage) as per the discussion above unless the...

Thanks @lidel ! It will be some time before I can get to this, but I will do that.

You may be interested in how we've achieved this in Peergos, as we expose the calls we use in ipfs to the world over p2p streams. Essentially we require any...
Yep, I'm fine with that. Crypto probably should be commercial friendly. I'll update the licence this week.
