Enum libp2p_gossipsub::MessageAuthenticity

pub enum MessageAuthenticity {
    Signed(Keypair),
    Author(PeerId),
    RandomAuthor,
    Anonymous,
}

Determines if published messages should be signed or not.

Without signing, a number of privacy preserving modes can be selected.

NOTE: The default validation settings are to require signatures. The ValidationMode should be updated in the GossipsubConfig to allow for unsigned messages.

Variants

Signed(Keypair)

Message signing is enabled. The author will be the owner of the key and the sequence number will be a random number.

Author(PeerId)

Message signing is disabled.

The specified PeerId will be used as the author of all published messages. The sequence number will be randomized.

RandomAuthor

Message signing is disabled.

A random PeerId will be used when publishing each message. The sequence number will be randomized.

Anonymous

Message signing is disabled.

The author of the message and the sequence numbers are excluded from the message.

NOTE: Excluding these fields may make these messages invalid by other nodes who enforce validation of these fields. See ValidationMode in the GossipsubConfig for how to customise this for rust-libp2p gossipsub. A custom message_id function will need to be set to prevent all messages from a peer being filtered as duplicates.
