Trust Graph

Trust Graph is network-wide peer relationship layer. It's designed to be used to prioritize resources and control permissions in open networks. Being a decentralized graph of relationships, basically a Web of Trust, Trust Graph is distributed among all network peers.

Specifically, Trust Graph is used to prioritize connections from known peers to counteract Sybil attacks while still keeping network open by reserving resources for unknown peers.

At the same time, Trust Graph can be used at the application level in various ways such as prioritization of service execution on authorized peers or to define an interconnected subnetwork among peers of a single protocol.

How to use in Aqua

``` import "@fluencelabs/trust-graph/trust-graph-api.aqua" import "@fluencelabs/trust-graph/trust-graph.aqua"

func myfunction(peerid: string) -> u32: on HOSTPEERID: result <- getweight(peerid) <- result ```

How to use is js

  1. Add the following to your dependencies

  2. Import dependencies typescript import * as tg from "./generated/export"; import { Fluence, KeyPair } from "@fluencelabs/fluence"; import { krasnodar, Node } from "@fluencelabs/fluence-network-environment";

  3. Create client (specify keypair if you are node owner link)

    typescript await Fluence.start({ connectTo: relay /*, KeyPair: builtins_keypair*/});

  4. Add root and issue root trust. typescript let peer_id = Fluence.getStatus().peerId; let relay = Fluence.getStatus().relayPeerId; assert(peer_id !== null); assert(relay !== null); let max_chain_len = 2; let far_future = tg.timestamp_sec() + 9999999999; let error = await tg.add_root_trust(relay, peer_id, max_chain_len, far_future); if (error !== null) { console.log(error); }
  5. For now, trusts/revocations can only be signed with the client's private key. Keypair specification will be available soon. typescript // issue signed trust let error = await tg.issue_trust(relay, peer_id, issued_for_peer_id, expires_at_sec); if (error !== null) { console.log(error); }
