At the recent Def Con hacker conference in Las Vegas, the association’s representatives fulfilled their promise by unveiling Veilid. This newly introduced open-source project facilitates direct information exchange between applications in a decentralized mode, a concept that has been in development for the past three years, according to Cult representatives.
Unlocking Privacy: Veilid’s Innovative Connectivity and Security
Veilid’s core concept is to establish connectivity among mobile, desktop, web, and even interface-less applications on the Internet. The goal is to enable private and secure communication, bypassing centralized corporate systems. The project provides code for developers to create a peer-to-peer community, fostering collaboration and interaction.
Primarily coded in Rust using Dart and Python, Veilid combines elements from the Tor anonymous network and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) peer-to-peer system. Its innovative approach aims to eliminate IP address and location exposure for connected applications, ensuring user privacy and data security.
Veilid employs 256-bit public keys as identifiers, while maintaining no dedicated nodes or single points of failure. It extends support to Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS, and web applications, offering broad compatibility.
The connections established through Veilid undergo authentication, encryption, and digital signatures to prevent unauthorized access or tampering. This robust encryption guarantees data protection and confidentiality.
The Dead Cow Cult members behind Veilid emphasized the importance of offering an alternative to monetized connections. The project introduces VeilidChat, a secure messenger inspired by Signal, to demonstrate its capabilities.
With its potential to disrupt the surveillance economy, Veilid presents an ambitious solution. The project’s source code and description are available on GitLab, inviting third-party developers to explore and enhance this initiative.
