| Summary | 0003047: struct GNUNET_PeerIdentity is larger than the public key, why not use the public key directly? | ||||
| Description | For historic reasons, we used to get the PID by hashing the (formerly 2048-bit) public key. With Ed25519, that bloats the key from 256 bit to 512. Thus, it would probably make sense to get rid of the hashing and use the 'struct GNUNET_PeerIdentity', as a container to box a 'struct GNUNET_CRYPTO_EccPublicKeyForSigning' (similar to how Egos box keys of users). We'd then need another variant of the multihashmap as often peers are stored in such a hash map, and we'd then no longer have a hash available (at least not directly) for the key. But we'd reduce a frequently used HT data structure's memory consumption 50% for the key, so that's likely still a good thing to do. | ||||

| The change has largely been done, except for like 100+ FTBFS issues all over the code... | |
| This transition should now be pretty much complete. | |
