As such it may be likened and compared to both, not dissimilar to the matter/energy duality (apologies to physicists for the blatant abuse of a fundamental and beautiful natural principle). Whisper is a pure identity-based messaging system. Whisper provides a low-level (non-application-specific) but easily-accessible API without being based upon or prejudiced by the low-level hardware attributes and characteristics, particularly the notion of singular endpoints. */ package whisperv5 import ( "fmt" "time" "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/p2p" ) const ( EnvelopeVersion = uint64(0) ProtocolVersion = uint64(5) ProtocolVersionStr = "5.0" ProtocolName = "shh" statusCode = 0 // used by whisper protocol messagesCode = 1 // normal whisper message p2pCode = 2 // peer-to-peer message (to be consumed by the peer, but not forwarded any further) p2pRequestCode = 3 // peer-to-peer message, used by Dapp protocol NumberOfMessageCodes = 64 paddingMask = byte(3) signatureFlag = byte(4) TopicLength = 4 signatureLength = 65 aesKeyLength = 32 AESNonceLength = 12 keyIdSize = 32 MaxMessageSize = uint32(10 * 1024 * 1024) // maximum accepted size of a message.
