Peers should make sure, each network interface (IPv4, IPv6, tor) has its own identity-key (otherwise it would be possible to link a tor address to a IPvX address). The identity-public-key(s) can be shared over a different channel with other node-operators (or non-validating clients) to grant authorized access. ----------- https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/compare/master...jonasschnelli:2016/07/auth_bip?expand=1
