Secure Peer-to-Peer Browser Communication: Using PGP and webRTC to create a trusted decentralized communication network in the browser. Encrypted direct messaging between two browsers? There’s a lot of specialized tools designed to communicate securely, but what if truly private communication was as simple as opening a browser?
Explore the challenges of building a JavaScript driven decentralized network including trusted peer lookups in a partitioned system, mitigating malicious peers, and handling tracker failures. We will discuss using nodeJS, webRTC, and PGP (via Keybase.io) to create a robust, decentralized, system for establishing trusted communications between browsers.
