Description

When data gets delivered to peers, its integrity needs to be verified. This requires INTEGRITY and SIGNED_INTEGRITY messages.

The verification procedure is described in the paper in section 5 and section 6. Since we only care about the live streaming use case for now, let's see if we can skip the implementation for VOD (it may turn out live streaming requires VOD to work, and we'd have to build it anyways)

Research direction

Start by reading RFC 7574 sections 5 and 6, then inspect the go-PPSPP repository to locate existing message-handling and live-streaming entry points. Implement and validate INTEGRITY and SIGNED_INTEGRITY verification for live streaming, while determining whether VOD support is required.
