post__register

POST /register

Register Bridge Node

This endpoint allows bridge nodes to register themselves with the platform without requiring traditional authentication. Instead, it uses RSA signature verification to ensure the request comes from an authorized organization key.

Key Features:

Cryptographic signature verification using RSA keys
Automatic node-key association upon successful registration
Support for multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCS, Azure, S3-compatible)
Node status and region tracking
Version information capture for compatibility monitoring

Authentication:

No traditional authentication required
Uses RSA signature verification for security
Signature must be generated using a valid organization private key
Timestamp validation prevents replay attacks

Supported Providers:

S3: AWS S3 and S3-compatible services
GCS: Google Cloud Storage
AZURE: Azure Blob Storage

Validation:

All required fields must be present
Provider type must be valid
Signature must be cryptographically valid
Timestamp must be recent to prevent replay attacks
