Messaging for Web3
Understand what attack vectors are possible here, study prior art and write up trade-offs / justification for given choice. Some raw notes: - One approach is to use a Friend-to-Friend...
It'd be useful to leverage existing and sizable Ethereum p2p network (connections) and expose this as a subprotocol. Define what this would look like wrt devp2p and libp2p, and implications...
Let's consider if "anonymous" is setting the right context. This protocol will not just be used by cryptography researchers but also used by a wider community. For the general public...
At the moment, I am going over the README and trying to get things right. Do we really want to have a privacy-preserving messaging protocol that allows streaming? As far...
In order for the protocol to be useful for heterogeneous devices, it's probably a good idea to consider what running on mobile would look like. Some of these concerns are...
PKI infrastructure seems to be one of the bottlenecks in terms of scalability and decentralisation for secure and anonymous P2P networks. Is there any research work done at the moment...
According to Impact of Network Topology on Anonymity and Overhead in Low-Latency Anonymity Networks (https://www.esat.kuleuven.be/cosic/publications/article-1230.pdf) it seems like a stratified topology is desirable. This is also what Loopix has chosen,...
We cannot always MAC the body because receivers cannot know the packet bodies they receive, only the SURBs they give out. As a result, there is a 1 bit tagging...
Does asynchronous messaging fit at this protocol layer? If it does, how should it be provided for? Study prior art and trade-offs. Store-and-forward a la Whisper mailservers have a bunch...
We can reward node operators with "secret shopper" cover traffic built by staked node using VRFs, but rewarding storage over an extended period sounds much harder. But @oskarth [raised](https://github.com/w3f/messaging/issues/7#issuecomment-441889283) the...
