[tor-dev] prop224: Time Period Overlaps and Blinded Keys

[teor]

Hi,

The time period overlap section 2.2.4 in prop224 is under-specified:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/224-rend-spec-ng.txt#n821

1. During the overlap period, does the service use the new blinded key
for the new period, and the old blinded key for the old period?

I think the answer is yes, but this requires some deduction to work
out.

2. If the overlap period starts when a service sees the first consensus
with a new SRV, does the service stop using that SRV and blinded key:
* at the end of the period?
  (that is, exactly 36 hours after the earliest the overlap period
   could possibly have started.)
* exactly 36 hours after the SRV was first seen?
  (that is, exactly 36 hours after the service started the overlap
   period. For example, if the service fetched the consensus 2 hours
   after it was created, it would end 2 hours after the end of the
   period.)
* when the first reveal consensus is received with that SRV as the
  previous SRV? (or some similar consensus-driven event)

Does every service on a tor instance start the overlap at the same
time?
