OCapN
A capability-based networking system that enables secure, decentralized communication through end-to-end encrypted federated relays.
Product Information
- Description
- OCapN implements a capability-based networking architecture where communication permissions are granted through unforgeable tokens rather than traditional identity-based authentication. The system establishes secure, decentralized connections using end-to-end encryption across federated relay nodes, ensuring data privacy even when routing through intermediate servers. Key features include fine-grained access control through capability tokens, resistance to network-level attacks via encrypted relays, and federation that allows organizations to operate their own relay infrastructure while maintaining interoperability. This approach enables secure peer-to-peer applications, private organizational networks, and censorship-resistant communication platforms where trust is dynamically managed through capability delegation rather than centralized authorities.
