FEAT > Middleware DI for custom hooks/handlers

[maurerbot]

Wondering if hypercore can or thinking about supporting middleware for use cases like auth. For example, a hook that checks a signature before accepting a mutation or returning a value.

This is great if you had a node that tries to mutate logs, kv, etc without the permission to do so. Other nodes on the network should be able to check signatures in those messages before accepting.

Blacklisting peers would also be a nice feature for repeat offenders.

I was digging into the NOISE framework and I'm wondering if the above can be achieved with https://noiseprotocol.org/noise.html#payload-security-properties

The problem I'm trying to solve is attributing a static keypair to a set of keys in hyperbee KV so that only the holder of the keypair can access specific keys.

For example, a daap discovers and connects to hypercore peers and the daap user "logs in" using their wallet. They should only be able to access (read and write) content they own.
