keridemlia

Definition

It is a contraction of KERI and Kademlia. It's the distributed database of Witness IP-addresses based on a Distributed Hash Table. It also does the CNAME - stuff that Domain Name Services (DNS) offers for KERI: the mapping between an identifier and it's controller AID stored in the KEL to its current wittness AID and the wittness AID to the IP address.
