[zeromq-dev] Authentication with curve

[Nicolas Delaby]

Hi all,

I would like to know how I can reliably authenticate a peer based on its 
curve public_key value and its identity (assuming the zap_handler is 
coupled with a ROUTER socket) ?

As the zap handler receive only the public_key value but client socket 
identity. Is it safe to consider that the immediate next recv() answer 
from ROUTER contains the identity of the peer I just authorized within 
zap handler ?

Thanks,
Nicolas
