159 - NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED service bit
BIP: 159 source Layer: Peer Services Title: NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED service bit Author: Jonas Schnelli Comments-Summary: No comments yet. Comments-URI: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/Comments:BIP-0159 Status: Final Type: Standards Track Created: 2017-05-11 License: BSD-2-Clause Table of ContentsAbstractMotivationSpecificationNew service bitAddress relayCounter-measures for peer fingerprintingRisksCompatibilityReference implementationCopyright Abstract Define a service bit that allows pruned peers to signal their limited services. Motivation Pruned peers can offer the same services as traditional peers, except that of serving all historical blocks. Bitcoin right now only offers the NODE_NETWORK service bit to indicate that a peer can serve all historical blocks. Pruned peers can relay blocks, headers, transactions, and addresses, but they only guarantee serving a minimum number of historical blocks; thus, they should have a way to announce their service(s)Peers...
150 - Peer Authentication
BIP: 150 source Layer: Peer Services Title: Peer Authentication Author: Jonas Schnelli Comments-Summary: Discouraged for implementation (one person) Comments-URI: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/Comments:BIP-0150 Status: Deferred Type: Standards Track Created: 2016-03-23 License: PD Table of ContentsAbstractMotivationSpecificationKnown-peers and authorized-peers databaseLocal identity key managementAuthentication procedureAUTHCHALLENGE messageAUTHREPLY messageAUTHPROPOSE messagePost-Authentication Re-KeyingIdentity-AddressesCompatibilityExample of an auth interactionDisadvantagesReference implementationReferencesAcknowledgementsCopyright Abstract This BIP describes a way for peers to authenticate to other peers to guarantee node ownership and/or allow peers to access additional or limited node services, without the possibility of fingerprinting. Motivation We assume peer operators want to limit the access of different node services or increase datastream prior...
151 - Peer-to-Peer Communication Encryption
BIP: 151 source Layer: Peer Services Title: Peer-to-Peer Communication Encryption Author: Jonas Schnelli Comments-Summary: Controversial; some recommendation, and some discouragement Comments-URI: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/Comments:BIP-0151 Status: Replaced Type: Standards Track Created: 2016-03-23 License: PD Superseded-By: 324 Table of ContentsAbstractMotivationSpecificationSymmetric Encryption Cipher KeysSession IDThe encinit message typeChaCha20-Poly1305 Cipher SuiteThe encack message typeEncrypted Messages StructureRe-KeyingRisksCompatibilityReference implementationReferencesAcknowledgementsCopyright Abstract This BIP describes an alternative way that a peer can encrypt their communication between a selective subset of remote peers. Motivation The Bitcoin network does not encrypt communication between peers today. This opens up security issues (eg: traffic manipulation by others) and allows for mass surveillance / analysis of bitcoin users. Mostl...

This is required to support new-generation Onion addresses, I2P, and potentially other networks that have longer endpoint addresses than fit in the 128 bits of the current addr message.
