Greg Fitzgerald 32d677787b Reduce transactions sent by demo
We don't do retries yet, so keep tx count to something that won't
trigger any packet loss.

Greg Fitzgerald dfd1c4eab3 Don't process transaction if channel.send() fails.
Do all input validation first, then log (which can fail). If all
goes swimmingly, process the transaction.

Greg Fitzgerald 36bb1f989d More defense against a double-spend attack
Before this change, a client could spend funds before the accountant
processed a previous spend. With this change in place, the accountant
updates balances immediately, but that comes at an architectural cost.
The accountant now verifies signatures on behalf of the historian, so
that it can ensure logging will not fail.

Greg Fitzgerald 684f4c59e0 Delete commented out code
accountant crate shouldn't verify the log. Instead, it should
only add valid entries and leave verification to network nodes.

Greg Fitzgerald 1b77e8a69a Move Event into its own crate
The log crate was starting to be the catch-all for all things
related to entries, events, signatures, and hashes. This split
shows us that:

* Event depends only on signatures, not on hashes [directly]
* All event testing was done via log testing (shame on me)
* Accounting depends only on events

Extend the event log with a Transaction event to transfer possession
2018-02-26 11:26:58 -07:00
Greg Fitzgerald b02eab57d2 Extend the event log with a Transaction event to transfer possession
This implementation assumes 'from' is the current owner of 'data'.
Once that's verified, the signature ensures that nobody modified
'data' (the asset being transferred) or 'to' the entity taking
ownership.

Greg Fitzgerald 08e501e57b Extend the event log with a Claim event to claim possession
Unlike a Discovery event, a Claim event associates a public key
with a hash. It's intended to to be used to claim ownership of
some hashable data. For example, a graphic designer could claim
copyright by hashing some image they created, signing it with
their private key, and publishing the hash-signature pair via
the historian. If someone else tries to claim it as their own,
the designer can point to the historian's log as cryptographically
secure evidence that the designer's copy existed before anyone
else's.

Note there's nothing here that verifies the first claim is the actual
content owner, only that the first claim almost certainly happened
before a second.

Greg Fitzgerald 29a607427d Rename UserDataKey to Discovery
From the perspective of the log, when some data's hash is added,
that data is "discovered" by the historian.  Another event
might be a "claim" that some signed data belongs to the owner of a
public key.
