(https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Whisper-PoC-1-Protocol-Spec) Whisper combines aspects of both DHTs and datagram messaging systems (e.g. UDP). As such it may be likened and compared to both, not dissimilar to the matter/energy duality (apologies to physicists for the blatant abuse of a fundamental and beautiful natural principle). Whisper is a pure identity-based messaging system. Whisper provides a low-level (non-application-specific) but easily-accessible API without being based upon or prejudiced by the low-level hardware attributes and characteristics, particularly the notion of singular endpoints. */ package whisperv5 import ( "fmt" "time" ) const ( EnvelopeVersion = uint64(0) ProtocolVersion = uint64(5) ProtocolVersionStr = "5.0" ProtocolName = "shh" statusCode = 0 messagesCode = 1 p2pCode = 2 mailRequestCode = 3 NumberOfMessageCodes = 32 paddingMask = byte(3) signatureFlag = byte(4) TopicLength = 4 signatureLength = 65 aesKeyLength = 32 saltLength = 12 AESNonceMaxLength = 12 MaxMessageLength = 0xFFFF // todo: remove this restriction after testing in morden and analizing stats. this should be regulated by MinimumPoW.
