[Commotion-dev] kleeq -- ad-hoc net security

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

As a user solution it should work fine.  OLSR is just IP networking, so if one side has a VPN server, then any other node on the mesh can VPN to it.  As a general transparent solution, probably not really viable.

That is, besides whatever traffic could not already be bumped over to SSL, would a VPN tunnel provide a more easily implementable solution for encrypting specific paths thru the mesh?

Its JavaScript/PHP, so very web-focused.  Its easy to setup, we have it running on a Debian chroot on Android devices, so this could be a possible chat server for mesh.
