Peer communications
|
|
||||||
-------------------
|
|
||||||
*Copay* uses peer-to-peer (p2p) networking to communicate between wallet participants. Participants exchange transaction
|
|
||||||
proposals, public keys, nicknames and information about the wallet configuration. Private keys are *not* shared with anyone.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*Copay* network communications use the webRTC protocol. A p2p facilitator server is needed to enable the peers to find each other.
|
|
||||||
*Copay* uses the open-sourced *peerjs* server implementation for p2p discovery. Wallet participants can use a
|
|
||||||
public peerjs server or install their own. Once the peers find each other, a true p2p connection is established between the
|
|
||||||
peers and there is no further flow of information to the p2p discovery server.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
webRTC uses DTLS to secure communications between the peers, and each peer uses a self-signed
|
|
||||||
certificate.
