#SLYkey

##A Transparent Peer-to-Peer Public Key Directory

####Files:

• ca:
  • Implements the webserver for the central authority
  • Includes logic to verify registration transaction POST requests
  • On successful request handling, returns a signature over the hash of the transaction data
• block:
  • The representation of a "block" in the SLYkey blockchain
  • Includes helper functions such as block hash calculation and verifications
• blockqueue:
  • A simple FIFO queue used as a communication buffer for nodeservers
• nodeserver:
  • Implements a "node" in the SLYkey network
  • Nodes accept transactions, calculate proof-of-work, and communication with each other to maintain the blockchain
  • Each node contains to threads: a block worker and a block processor. Block worker calculates proof-of-work to generate new blocks while the block processor handles communication and blockchain synchronization. The two threads communicate with each other with the blockqueue as well as a synchronized channel when new blocks are found.
• rpc:
  • RPC helper methods
• verifier:
