] WASTE is a software product and protocol that enables ] secure distributed communication for small (on the order ] of 10-50 nodes) trusted groups of users. ] ] WASTE is designed to enable small companies and small ] teams within larger companies to easily communicate and ] collaborate in a secure and efficient fashion, ] independent of physical network topology. ] WASTE is licensed under the GPL. ] # Network architecture: WASTE uses a distributed ] architecture that allows for nodes to connect in a partial ] mesh type network. Nodes on the network can broadcast ] and route traffic. Nodes that are not publicly accessible ] or on slow links can choose not to route traffic. This ] network is built such that all services utilize the ] network, so firewall issues become moot. more information. ] ] # Security: WASTE uses link-level encryption to secure ] links, and public keys for authentication. RSA is used for ] session key exchange and authentication, and the links are ] encrypted using Blowfish in PCBC mode. The automatic key ] distribution security model is very primitive at the ] moment, and may not lend itself well to some social ] situations. more information. Waste - Nullsoft strikes again |
