Reticulum: A Crypto-Based Network Stack for Sovereign, Unstoppable Mesh Networks

Reticulum – Decentralized Mesh Network

Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack that enables anyone to build local or wide-area networks using readily available hardware, even under adverse conditions with high latency and extremely low bandwidth. It aims to let individuals and communities operate their own sovereign communication networks, free from surveillance, censorship, and control. Unlike traditional stacks, Reticulum uses no source addresses, has no central address authority, and ensures end-to-end connectivity with self-sovereign, portable addresses. All communication is encrypted by default with forward secrecy, and unencrypted packets are dropped as invalid.
