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

[L. Aaron Kaplan]

Henning and me were discussing about some  signature/encryption scheme like 3 years ago already.
It was not implemented yet. But it relied on Shamir's Shared Secret Scheme (SSSS)

Maybe that is still interesting

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.
