Datagram Connections 🚀

The datagram-connections crate implements a challenge-and-response protocol for securely acquiring connections over datagrams. It includes both a client and host part, making it easy to establish and maintain connections with integrity and security.

Features ✨

• Challenge Protocol: Secure your connections with a challenge-response handshake.
• Client and Host Implementation: Both sides of the connection are supported out of the box.
• Efficient Datagram Handling: Encode and decode datagrams with ease.
• Secure Random Number Generation 🎲: Leverage cryptographic random values for secure nonce generation.

How it Works ⚙️

Client Connection Flow 💻

1. Challenge Phase: The client initiates a challenge by sending a nonce.
2. Connecting Phase: After receiving the server's challenge response, the client sends a connect request.
3. Connected Phase: Once the server validates the request, the client is considered connected and can send/receive packets.

Host Response Flow 🏠

1. Challenge Response: The host sends a challenge response with its own nonce.
2. Connection Validation: The host validates incoming connection requests using the nonce and establishes the connection.
