pub type EndpointId = PublicKey;Available on crate feature
key only.Expand description
The identifier for an endpoint in the (iroh) network.
Each endpoint in iroh has a unique identifier created as a cryptographic key. This can be used to globally identify an endpoint. Since it is also a cryptographic key it is also the mechanism by which all traffic is always encrypted for a specific endpoint only.
This is equivalent to PublicKey. By convention we will (or should) use PublicKey
as type name when performing cryptographic operations, but use EndpointId when referencing
an endpoint. E.g.:
encrypt(key: PublicKey)send_to(endpoint: EndpointId)
