## Notable Features
|
||||
- Coordination-less globally unique addressing and identification
|
||||
- Fully self-configuring multi-hop routing
|
||||
- Fully self-configuring multi-hop routing over heterogeneous media type
|
||||
- Initiator anonymity, communicate without revealing your identity
|
||||
- Reticulum does not use source addresses on any packets
|
||||
- Asymmetric X25519 encryption and Ed25519 signatures as a basis for all communication
|
||||
- Forward Secrecy with ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman keys on Curve25519
|
||||
- 512-bit Elliptic Curve keysets are used for the foundational Reticulum Identity Keys
|
||||
- Forward Secrecy is available for all communication types, both for single packets and over links
|
||||
- Reticulum uses the following format for encrypted tokens:
|
||||
- Keys are ephemeral and derived from an ECDH key exchange on Curve25519
|
||||
- Ephemeral per-packet and link keys and derived from an ECDH key exchange on Curve25519
|
||||
- AES-128 in CBC mode with PKCS7 padding
|
||||
- HMAC using SHA256 for authentication
|
||||
- IVs are generated through os.urandom()
|
||||
- Unforgeable packet delivery confirmations
|
||||
- A variety of supported interface types
|
||||
- A large variety of supported interface types
|
||||
- An intuitive and easy-to-use API
|
||||
- Reliable and efficient transfer of arbitrary amounts of data
|
||||
- Reticulum can handle a few bytes of data or files of many gigabytes
|
||||
- Sequencing, transfer coordination and checksumming are automatic
|
||||
- Sequencing, compression, transfer coordination and checksumming are automatic
|
||||
- The API is very easy to use, and provides transfer progress
|
||||
- Lightweight, flexible and expandable Request/Response mechanism
|
||||
- Efficient link establishment

- A 256-bit Ed25519 key for signatures
|

- A 256-bit X22519 key for ECDH key exchanges
|
||||
- HKDF for key derivation
|
