End-to-end encrypted relays for OCapN https://spritely.institute/news/end-to-end-encrypted-relays-for-ocapn.html
Federated, end-to-end encrypted relaying comes to Spritely Goblins and the OCapN protocol! Relays are federated (like email or ActivityPub) but don't know anything about the contents of communication between users!
Also, special shout out to @nlnet who funded this project and @tsyesika for doing all the hard work developing it!
This project resulted in several huge deliverables:
- E2EE OCapN relays!
- Support for them in Spritely Goblins, which all Goblins users can benefit from!
And to be released soon:
- A specification for a Noise E2EE netlayer for OCapN as well as the relay netlayer that composes with it
- A Guix service so guix'y people can host this easily
We're very excited about all this and are very grateful to @nlnet and @NGIZero for the support <3
Oh and how can we forget? One other deliverable: @tsyesika made a *general purpose* Noise library for Guile as part of this project!
@ailurocrat We're trying to make it as easy to host as possible! Though the Guix service will be helpful for Guix users, the general approach should be possible on any Linux distro, and we'd love to get our relay daemon supported on other distros such as Debian, Fedora, etc!
@spritely linus is letting the slop in though, gotta be standalone with slop free os built in, please?
