Overview

This project aims to provide software for controlling namecoin and for voip onion routing.

From Wikipedia:

"Onion routing is a technique for anonymous communication over a computer network. Messages are repeatedly encrypted and then sent through several network nodes called onion routers. Each onion router removes a layer of encryption to uncover routing instructions, and sends the message to the next router where this is repeated. This prevents these intermediary nodes from knowing the origin, destination, and contents of the message."

The goal is to make it possible to place phone calls that are almost impossible to trace.

In order to facilitate two-way anonymous communication, an identity system is necessary. The Namecoin project is perfect for this purpose. Namecoin is a fork of the Bitcoin project. Namecoin solves the difficult problem of designing a network with the following properties:

  • Secure - each participant has a unique name, no one may be impersonated
  • Decentralized - there is no central point of failure
  • Human-meaningful - identities are short and easy to remember

The voicedotbit program is basically just a namecoin front-end with the planned ability to route traffic between network participants.
