[jdev] Re: CSpace instant messenger integrated in Jabber / GAJIM

Fri Aug 4 17:00:17 CDT 2006

Hi

thanks for the suggestions. As said, I think a gateway in http://Cspace.in is not necessary, as we mix up secure and insecure chats and Cspace needs other development than multiprotocol, though, other jabber clients should integrate Cspace, either as a code to get a multiclient or with a transport. The suggestions are quite fitting, but I think you did not get th earchitecture of CSpace, so test around please.

The messenger is a p2p decentral messenger based on a kademlia dht.
All is encrypted in secure channels.
This means creating a transport is quite impossible, we would need one transport server, forwarding the message from jabber user to the C-Space ID-User, this means e.g. several users get from the same server the RSA-Key as the sender (forwarder) of the message. This would mix up the system, so only the client can integrate CSpace as a hybrid version.

This is requested and recommended, and if two users could switch to cspace in Jabber to jabber client, than they should leave jabber for secure Cspace protocol... of course this is very acid to jabber as here a leave of the jabber identity is necessary...  But otherwise I see ne technical solution, if you have no idea to this problem.

So how could a jabber transport be organized in to a p2p system ???
The transport server then needs to deliver all messages to a certain RSA-key, found on the kademlia dht. And this means, that eihter the server or the jabber client needs to get a RSA-Key too.

But for a server this makes no sense, as then there is only one KEY for several users as said, and then we are again at the model, that every client needs a RSA-Key.

this means only the cleints can get hybrid with Cspace.

There was a long time ago the question for encrypted jabber, why we need servers, if they route white node traffic, they cannot read. So a server architecture of encrypted messages is nonsense and they could to it IP to IP. They only need a lookup service to get the IP adress or RSA-key of the client.

Once this understood, with the first coded p2p Messenger, which is now out with CSpace, we can get rid of the jabber servers.

This lead to a total re-definition of jabber, and we do not need jabberservers anymore. As this is as well the jabber developer list, I want to make the discussion more wider to change the Jabber brand to Cspace protocol and clients.

*THIS* must be jabber. Jabber needs to get rid of the servers, as emule with kademlia has as well the option to work without servers.

And for this purpose each client needs to implement CSpace, or lets say more freindly kademlia (but kompatible with Cspace)... Like Emule implemented Kademlia.

understood the revolution/turnaround?

We need RSA-Key´s not jabberservers in the announcement of Messenger profiles. So this needs to be discussed in the next jabber conference and we need the first python clients getting hybrid with Cspace as this is the most easiest to start with python written jabber clients.

Thanks
