Product Information

Description

Hyphanet operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network that enables secure, anonymous communication and data sharing without centralized servers. Its architecture routes encrypted data through multiple nodes, making content difficult to trace or block, while employing cryptographic techniques to protect user identities and ensure data integrity. Key features include resistance to censorship through distributed storage, strong privacy safeguards via encryption and anonymization, and resilience against network attacks, as demonstrated by ongoing work to address vulnerabilities like the Pitch Black Attack in routing protocols. This platform supports various use cases such as private messaging, uncensorable publishing, and secure file sharing, appealing to users in environments with restricted internet access, journalists protecting sources, and communities prioritizing digital autonomy.
