2022-10-06 15:35:38 +00:00
< p > Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack for building both local and
wide-area networks with readily available hardware, that can continue to operate
under adverse conditions, such as extremely low bandwidth and very high latency.< / p >
2022-08-25 09:00:30 +00:00
< p > Reticulum allows you to build wide-area networks with off-the-shelf tools, and
2022-10-06 15:35:38 +00:00
offers end-to-end encryption, forward secrecy, autoconfiguring cryptographically
backed multi-hop transport, efficient addressing, unforgeable packet
acknowledgements and more.< / p >
< p > From a users perspective, Reticulum allows the creation of applications that
2022-10-06 15:41:07 +00:00
respect and empower the autonomy and sovereignty of communities and individuals.
2022-10-06 15:35:38 +00:00
Reticulum enables secure digital communication that cannot be subjected to
outside control, manipulation or censorship.< / p >
2022-10-06 21:32:19 +00:00
< p > Reticulum enables the construction of both small and potentially planetary-scale
2024-11-24 13:03:50 +00:00
networks, without any need for hierarchical or bureaucratic structures to control
2022-10-06 21:32:19 +00:00
or manage them, while ensuring individuals and communities full sovereignty
over their own network segments.< / p >
2023-09-18 11:02:18 +00:00
< p > Reticulum is a < strong > complete networking stack< / strong > , and does not need IP or higher
2022-08-25 09:00:30 +00:00
layers, although it is easy to utilise IP (with TCP or UDP) as the underlying
carrier for Reticulum. It is therefore trivial to tunnel Reticulum over the
Internet or private IP networks. Reticulum is built directly on cryptographic
principles, allowing resilience and stable functionality in open and trustless
networks.< / p >
2023-09-18 11:02:18 +00:00
< p > No kernel modules or drivers are required. Reticulum can run completely in
userland, and will run on practically any system that runs Python 3. Reticulum
2022-08-25 09:00:30 +00:00
runs well even on small single-board computers like the Pi Zero.< / p >

real-world use is explored. < em > There will be bugs< / em > . The API and wire-format can be

< p > Reticulum is an experimental networking stack, and should be considered as
such. While it has been built with cryptography best-practices very foremost in
2023-02-01 12:44:00 +00:00
mind, it has not yet been externally security audited, and there could very well be
2022-08-25 09:00:30 +00:00
privacy-breaking bugs. To be considered secure, Reticulum needs a thorough
security review by independent cryptographers and security researchers. If you
2023-02-01 12:44:00 +00:00
want to help out with this, or can help sponsor an audit, please do get in touch.< / p >
