This is a meta issue to track work I will be doing around various crypto updates in libp2p.

Noise

We are planning on deprecating libp2p-secio in favor of libp2p-noise. ETA's are based on current estimated timelines of IPFS version updates and are subject to change.

  • js-libp2p uses libp2p-noise in all tests
  • js-libp2p uses libp2p-noise in all examples
  • Integrate libp2p-noise into js-ipfs as fallback for libp2p-secio (ETA: June 23rd)
    • Remove support for libp2p-secio in js-ipfs (ETA: Aug 11th)

ed25519 Keys (ETA: [email protected])

@jacobheun we should default PeerId.create to use ed25519 keys as well. When would be a good time for that in this timeline?

@vasco-santos we could time a breaking change of PeerId with the 0.29 work so that we time that with signed peer records.

The major outstanding issue left for this is Keychain support for ed25519 keys, which is due to a lack of import/export support in js-libp2p-crypto.
