We want to find a way to build private networking applications easily. Our peers will be grouped logically in a virtual community of trusted nodes. A simple and efficient method must secure our communications without using third-party certificate authorities. A single connection should be used for all transferred data, which will be organized in named packets with additional headers.
Design
- Flexible message-oriented protocol over a single TCP connection
- On-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption with random session keys
- Symmetric encryption mode with shared secret key
- Asymmetric encryption mode with 1024-bit Public/Private keys
- Transport level authentication with digital fingerprints or secret keys
- Easy creation of dynamic virtual private communities
- Transparent data compression
- Suitable both for client and server applications
- Centralized management of all connections
- Buffer congestion and flow control mechanism
- Automatic DNS name resolution
- SOCKS proxy support
- Elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications
- Responsive user interface while maintaining maximum bandwidth
- Simple and well-organized set of properties, methods and events
- Multi-threaded, fully self-contained ActiveX control
