I already did it http://code.google.com/p/qantiqa/ http://code.google.com/p/qantiqa/ It was my CS degree final project.
It is based in an obscure P2P framework from my university (based in another one) and it uses GAE as an overlay's entry point. The network is fully functional and independent of the entry point, but it is needed to do authentication.
- rbanffy 14y agoI imagined relying on Google accounts for the App Engine application and on https for internode communication. Pushes to subscribers could require a confirmation callback but https would ensure you'd be conforming with the right sender.
- im_dario 14y agoWouldn't be more easy to solve sender identity with PGP keys? Just a random idea.
- rbanffy 14y agoXMPP is cooked into the platform. I wonder how hard would it be to use it with other implementations. PGP is probably too complicated for the average user. I wouldn't like to expose people to that (and failing to do so while relying on it would open a lot of attack vectors)
