Implement Curve ZeroMQ Auth in Lisp

kalzoo opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Per @ecpeterson in #100, adding this issue to track the addition of Curve ZeroMQ auth to the Lisp side of RPCq.

In the near future, the only way to communicate with a Rigetti QPU will be using Curve auth. As long as all clients use the Python version of rpcq (or its consuming packages like pyquil) to communicate with the QPU, it's not necessary for the Lisp variant.

Note: should we switch from zmq to https, this will be wasted effort.

Is that a possibility / being discussed?

Sure is. I don't know the timeline / the solidity of those plans, but it should enter into the calculus of whether doing this work (which includes finding / writing a ZMQ4 wrapper) is worth the time.
