D1.2 UPSYCLE specification

Complete UPSYCLE specification that should include:

• overall overview of pub/sub and routing system.
• serialisation (CBOR), transport (DTLS)
• description of public key-based routing.
• authentication & encryption, cryptographic properties (e.g. forward secrecy).
• event model & dissemination, how to determine causality of events & messages.
• core & edge network topology, role of relay nodes.
• description of protocol flows, e.g. how a node joins/leaves a group, creates/deletes a topic.
• how to interface to the back-end P2P system.
  • @tg-x's NGI0 work on P2Pcollab (ideal)
  • or an existing or simplified system (as a backup in order to avoid this external dependency)
