brontide: set read deadlines on socket during initial handshake 
This commit fixes a lingering issue within lnd, which can cause a
server to freeze up, and not handle any incoming connections properly,
or cause clients to freeze and not return in a timely manner from a
failed connection attempt.

To avoid this, each time we need to read from the socket during the
initial brontide handshake, we add a 15 second read deadline. If we
don’t successfully read from the buffer during that time frame, then
the Read method will return a timeout error.

With this in place, we ensure that the main listener goroutine will
never be blocked waiting on a remote party to write ActOne.

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.
