Hello all interested:

I found I problem in the code: each Identity one-time generates an SSK
keypair for usage with private messages. There is a private and a public
key, the private key is for insertion of data, while the public is is
for retrieval. Unfortunately Frosts current code distributed the public
key to all other Frosts! So they are not able to insert messages.

And the whole usage of SSK keys is'nt needed, because if you insert a
message with the private key, you get the complete public key as answer!
This way it would be easier to use KSK key spaces for private
communication, although this is spammable. But there is no solution for
that, or have you any ideas??? Do tools like pm4pigs something fancy to
prevent this?

If all agree I will add code that droppes the wrong SSK board attachment
and accepts other types/formats, this will silently fix this.

rgds, bback
