SECUSHARE

Secushare employs GNUnet for end-to-end encryption and anonymizing mesh routing (because it has a more suitable architecture than Tor or I2P) and applies PSYC on top (because it performs better than XMPP, JSON or OStatus) to create a distributed social graph. Together, these technologies allow for distributed private social networking including more straightforward and secure e-mail, chat, exchange of content and a private web. It could even work out as a safer choice for the Internet of Things.

Imagine Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail and Skype rolled into one, without the centralized surveillance and control. Crazy? Well, it hasn’t been tried before, at least not our way. So let’s give it a try.

Disclaimer: secushare is a research project that hasn’t reached prototype status, yet. Consider that it basically consists of a new Internet stack combined with a full-fledged distributed scalability alternative to cloud technology. The challenge is so big, please be patient that we’re not done quite yet. If you think you can contribute competence, time or attention to us, don’t stop reading.

Let’s chat!

I’ve been lingering on OTFC -it IRC channel and the almighty Elena of Valhalla made me discover the importance of maintain control over our communications that nowasdays are oftn channeled into various chat, social network and the like.

So I’ve read her article «Modern XMPP Server» and Enrico Zini’s «Modern and secure instant messaging» discovering several interesting softwares like:
