A place for discussing the new developments in IT networking technologies that strive to enhance and assure privacy, security, and autonomy online, ensuring equitable and strong universal access to information.

You can share info about Confidential Computing software and hardware like Intel SGX enclaves, HSI, attestation, HEADS BIOS, and vendors like Nitrokey, Purism, Fairphone, Open Source Hardware, etc.

The Tor Project, Nym, mixmaster, Yggdrasil, Veilid, and other networking technologies can be discussed here. Questions could be answered by people versed in any of these networking projects.

Also, social media in such networking paradigms could be discussed and be of interest to the wider Mastodon community. You might think about how Amethyst with LND and LNC works, for example. Or have thoughts about developing a social media Veilid application. Facebook has an onion address. What about new networking technologies incorporated into the Fediverse?

Veilid is a recently developed networking paradigm that holds considerable promise for the future of autonomous and free activity on the internet. As someone just starting to think about it and try to implement the technology, what I think is most intriguing about the project is that applications are peer to peer, so that, instead of volunteers of nodes on the tor network, each person on the Veilid network with an app is hosting the computation locally on their device. Then people aren't having to rent from AWS and the like if they don't have their own servers. In other words, there is more primary local control over your contribution to the network. Of course there is more to it, but that seems to be the most innovative aspect of the project. Really cool design!

My question is: do they have a plan for EW? It is described as a "mobile first" network and most cellular phones appear to be more resistant to EMI attacks than others, which is perfect.

Anybody want to talk about Veilid?
