Description

Today we accept nodes using TOFU, where the first use is checked on a mix of their IP and their reverse dns.

We now have the public key of an agent declared in its inventory.
We should use this information and trust the agent based on this key.

We would then have a lot less problem related to agent refusal by the server.
And this would be more secure than the current setup.
