May 27!

Results are announced and this project is officially selected to be a part of Google Summer of Code 2013

Project Title:   Android suppport for secure Darknet connections and an Android port of Freenet

Mentoring Organisation:        The Freenet Project
Mentor:                                   Florent Daignière


 After a series of consultations with my mentor and other developers, the priorities are changed. Now, higher priority is given to establishing secure darknet connections on a client application of freenet compared to porting freenet. Also, synchronising and exchange of datastores (pseudo-sneakernet) has been excluded as of now. This is mainly because of the time-constraints.


Objective:

To develop an android application, (herewith called NC Node), based on QR and Wi-Fi Direct that can securely exchange node reference of its parent node (normal Freenet node running Fred-Staging code, with minor modifications, herewith called C-Node) with node reference of another NC Nodes' parent when two NC nodes meet.
(Note: An NC and corresponding C Node are owned by the same person)

To develop a method to connect NC node and its parent securely at home. Adding functionality so that, the NC node and its parent are 'synced' periodically whenever they are in geographical proximity.

To port fred-staging code to android i.e. to create C-Nodes that can work on android platform.
