Generate a design for node authentication

[raokrutarth]

generate a payload design to include in main packet to make sure only the intended display/draw devices are exchanging packets in the network.

** ACK replies may expose side channel venerability like WEP **

@agoeckner Can I get a sample of what a packet will look like in a string form? & will the packets have a sequence number or can the EXACT same packet be generated multiple times.?

[agoeckner]

I don't have the format entirely finalized yet, but no, the exact same packet cannot be generated multiple times since they will have sequence numbers.

[agoeckner]

When do you need the packet format by?

Authentication Stage:

First entrance into the network by the node, it will send out a packet with a valid HMAC checksum. If the packet is not validated by the other nodes, they will not add the new node's address to their "list"
