I'm working on a piece of code that will allow to me connect and pass tcp traffic through socket by implementing the TOR protocol. I'm currently working on certs cells, and there's a node that gives me cert types of 4, 5 and 7 which are not documented in the tor spec document (only 1, 2, 3 are documented) Anyone knows what this cert type means?

All certificates types are listed here, see section "A.1. List of certificate types"
[04] - Ed25519 signing key with an identity key
(see prop220 section 4.2)
[05] - TLS link certificate signed with ed25519 signing key
(see prop220 section 4.2)
**[07] - Reserved for RSA identity cross-certification;
(see section 2.3 above, and tor-spec.txt section 4.2)

In addition, could you please explain the usage of each cert? Im not quit sure I got it right– InfinityJan 9, 2018 at 5:47
