In this realm, perhaps https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole could be
used to construct a solution?
Some person has to "initiate" the wormhole and pass the (short) code to
the other person -- this could be via some established channel, like
"over the phone" (the codes exchanged are only usable

I am no expert here, but I'm confused by "the client connecting to the
service knows the service's private key". Why not just create an onion
service (per contact) and then use the client authentication feature
to ensure they share the same secret? Client auth is built in to
discovery and from what

Dear Tor developers,
As a PhD student in distributed systems, I am studying onion routing.
We would like to investigate an onion routing system that would run on
users devices, i.e. a lot of nodes with crappy bandwidth and
intermittent connection.
To compare against Tor, I have been looking for i
Hi all,
The Briar team is working on a way for users to add each other as
contacts by exchanging links without having to meet in person.
We don't want to include the address of the user's long-term Tor hidden
service in the link, as we assume the link may be observed by an
adversary, who would th
