Olaoluwa Osuntokun 83e2811903 brontide: use a static buffer for the packet length
In this commit, we eliminate the final allocation that takes place when
we write out messages. Once again this was escaping to the heap, so we
make it an attribute on the Machine struct, which allows pure static
allocation.

brontide

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The brontide package implements a secure crypto messaging protocol based off of the Noise Protocol Framework. The package exposes the raw state machine that handles the handshake and subsequent message encryption/decryption scheme. Additionally, the package exposes a net.Conn and a net.Listener interface implementation which allows the encrypted transport to be seamlessly integrated into a codebase.

The secure messaging scheme implemented within this package is described in detail in BOLT #8 of the Lightning Network specifications.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing secure encrypted+authenticated communications between network enabled programs.
