Network Seednodes/Trust Anchor Bootstrapping #780
Description
Specification
According to #779, there needs to be a Trust Anchor that exists to mint ClaimNetworkAuthority tokens.
As the Trust Anchor is simply some entity containing state with a public key and private key in order to mint ClaimNetworkAuthority tokens, a user can simply store their public/private key in some secrets manager. Since we are building one, one can just use a Polykey Seednode that is designated to being the Trust Authority. Or the Trust Authority could be simply some state stored in a database or on disk.
Anyhow, seednodes are bootstrapped with the authority to delegate ClaimNetworkAccess tokens by being given a ClaimNetworkAuthority token.
The ClaimNetworkAuthority token is generated by the Trust Anchor and passed to each seednode through an environment variable.
