peer A = dealer, connect, multiple peers (the “clients”)
peer B = router, bind, single peer (the “server”)

peer A calls setIdentity with user+”:”+hash
peer A sends a message (empty is ok)

peer B receives a message, which being a router, gets prefixed with the identity
peer B validates the hash and accepts or rejects the connection

if accept, store a hash map so replies can go back to the originator

now the problem
if the connection is to be rejected, how to disconnect it?
