# Notes: A session ID is a hash of keys+ciphers that both endpoints share and is
# supposed to be unique for all time, and is thus suitable for authentication.

### Functionality to implement:
# Separate thread;
#   Listen for TCPSphere support announcements
#     For each announcement; Put the session ID in a temporary database
# Separate thread;
#   For every detected tcpcrypt connection; Announce TCPShpere support to it
# Separate thread for every endpoint that is running TCPSphere;
#   Exchange public keys
#   If the other endpoint's key is in your Web of Trust; # Authentication below
#   # Note: Public servers may accept everything, and may also still check if
#   # the endpoint is in WoT to make life easier for admins (remote control).
#     Separate thread;
#       Listen for an authentication packet from the other endpoint
#         If timeout;
#           Set $endpoint_authentication to 0, exit thread
#         Else if: The details are correct;
#           Reply with Ok + nonce from the packet
#           Set $endpoint_authentication to 1, exit thread
#         Else if; It's a not-in-WoT packet that is received;
#           Set $not_in_wot to true AND set $endpoint_authentication to 0 
#           Exit thread
#         Else; Set $endpoint_authentication to 0, exit thread
#       # For each step before the if-case; Skip to it if not-in-wot is received
#       Create message with session ID, current time, nonce, both public keys
#       Sign it with your private key
#       Encrypt it with the other endpoint's public key
#       Send authentication packet
#       Listen for an Ok + your nonce OR a not-in-WoT packet
#       If timeout;
#         Print "Auth timeout ($Endpoint, $Endpoint_fpr)" # fpr = fingerprint
#       Else; If $not_in_wot is set to true;
#         Tell user "Not in $Endpoint's ($Endpoint_fpr) WoT. He might retry."
#         Keep listening for a new authentication packet
#         If a restart packet is received; Start over # If endpoint verify key
#         Else; If a cancel packet is received; Notify user AND exit
#       Else; If wrong reply received;
#         Tell the user "Auth failed with $Endpoint_name, $Endpoint_fpr"
#       Else; If reply correct AND WHEN $endpoint_authentication is set;
#         If set to 1;
#           Tell the user "Authenticated with $Endpoint, $Endpoint_fpr"
#         Else; Tell user "Auth failed with $Endpoint, $Endpoint_fpr"
#   Else;
#     Notify endpoint # In case you're in his WoT but he's not in yours
#     # A public server may tell users "not in WoT, but I accept everything"
#     Ask the user what to do; # Defaults may be set
#       Option: Try to auth another way (accept key, phone call, other)?
#         Notify that a new attempt will be made
#         If key is verified and added to WoT; Send restart packet
#         Else; Notify that authentication not will be attempted
#       Option: Cancel authentication attempt
#         Notify the endpoint that authentication not will be attempted
