Pond

(Or, how to better organise a discreet relationship with the Director of the CIA.)

At this point, I welcome technical feedback on the design and comments from the sort of (often non-technical) folks who need this sort of thing about whether it actually meets their needs.

For details, see the main website.

The code here is broken down as follows:

• bbssig contains an implementation of the BBS group signature scheme. This is used in Pond to allow servers to reject messages from non-contacts without the server being able to identify those contacts.
• bn256cgo contains a wrapping of Naehrig, Niederhagen and Schwabe's pairing library. This is a drop in replacement for the bn256 package from go.crypto and speeds up bbssig. See https://github.com/agl/dclxvi.
• client contains the Pond GUI and CLI client and package for manipulating state files.
• doc contains the https://pond.imperialviolet.org site in Jeykll format.
• editstate contains a debugging utility for manipulating state files.
• panda contains a library for performing shared-key exchanges. It's used by client/ to implement that functionality.
• protos contains the protocol buffer files for client to server communication.
• server contains the Pond server.
• transport contains code to implement the, low-level, client to server transport protocol.
