** secure private reliable social networks: sprsn ** by Vinay Gupta • December 29, 2014
sprsn is an idea for a small piece of software which I think would do the
world some good by existing, and which currently does not exist.
It’s a deeply technical project that I probably don’t have time to build
(unless somebody wants to pay my rent for a few months while I take a shot at it with a helper or two! – I am not serious about this) but I can describe what’s needed and maybe it will inspire somebody, in whole or in part.
Synopsis: combine the new (telehash) with the old (SPKI) and get a
Facebook-killer in the form of a command line utility that provides a decentralized social network. However, will Ethereum do this, and a ton more? This is very close to what I would like to see created; Identities and friend management: https://roamingaroundatrandom.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/universal-p2p-address... PHB's phingerprints (can't find a good reference URL for it) The data structure of the messages used in discussions: https://roamingaroundatrandom.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/a-decentralized-hash-... The properties that I want to see of the underlying signalling system is similar to what Telehash does. Does its crypto behave like Axolotl (supports asymmetric PFS)? I want a system that is federated like email, except designed to be able to work on a P2P fashion where everybody runs their own server if they wish, rather than expecting dedicate servers. I also want to see capabilities based delegation of tasks, see Tahoe-LAFS for reference. Giving a server the ability to act as a cache or store-and-forward server for me should require a signature, allowing it to route incoming messages on my behalf to various devices under various keypairs would require a signature, etc... There's many ways to cryptographically delegate tasks in a revocable way.
