Update 9 documentation files to match current implementation: - Add missing rekey config section (node.rekey.*) and host mapping section to fips-configuration.md - Update Ethernet frame format from [type:1][payload] to [type:1][length:2 LE][payload] in wire-formats and transport docs - Fix Ethernet effective MTU from interface-1 to interface-3 - Mark rekey as Implemented in mesh-layer and session-layer status tables - Change TCP default port examples from 443 to 8443 - Add rekey, persistent identity, host mapping, mesh size estimation to README features and status sections - Update chaos scenario count from 16 to 20, add rekey topology to static test docs
FIPS Design Documents
Protocol design specifications for the Federated Interoperable Peering System — a self-organizing encrypted mesh network built on Nostr identities.
Reading Order
Start with the introduction, then follow the protocol stack from bottom to top. After the stack, the mesh operation document explains how all the pieces work together. Supporting references provide deeper dives into specific topics.
