Comment (by asn):

 Hello atagar again,

 here is another post but this time about '''descriptor encoding'''. I
 started looking at how to encode an HSv3 descriptor which involves putting
 valid (and user-defined) values in the right fields plus encrypting and
 signing the descriptor.

 It's a pretty big job and I started by doing ed25519 certificate encoding
 which is certainly needed for this. I had a bit of trouble adapting the
 certificate.py code to do encoding, since it seems like the
 `Ed25519CertificateV1` class has been made with parsing in mind, but in
 this case I will need to provide its raw attributes (keys, etc.) and have
 it encode them into an actual certificate. How would you do that in terms
 of changing the class logic?

 I took a stab at it here: https://github.com/torproject/stem/pull/21 (see
 last commit).
 The whole thing works pretty well (see the unittest) but it's very dirty
 because I made my own class (for encoding) and use the old class for
 decoding. We need to unify these two classes but I would need your advice
 as the stem architect here.
