Secure Tokenization Over QUIC Protocol

P2P Network Management:

Peer discovery and connection handling State tracking for each peer Thread-safe peer list management

DNS Consensus System:

100% consensus requirement for DNS records Signature collection from all active peers Timeout handling for consensus requests Thread-safe consensus operations

Security Features:

Falcon-1024 signatures for DNS records Multiple signature verification Timestamp and TTL validation Peer validation

The consensus mechanism ensures:

All active peers must validate and sign new DNS records Any single peer can veto a malicious DNS record Records are timestamped and signed to prevent replay attacks
