- Cothority - Collective Authority
- SDA - Secure Distributed API
The project offers a framework for research, simulation and deployment of crypto-related protocols with an emphasis of decentralized, distributed protocols.
Our documentation is split in three parts:
- Users, when all you want is to use one of our services
- PhD, for those of you who have an idea and want to implement it using Cothority
- Developer, hard-core hackers that want to make our code even better
So you want to use one of our services and you are interested in one of our projects:
- Cothorityd - The main server being able to handle all service-requests
- CoSi - Collective Signing, where you can submit a hash of a document and get a collective signature on it
- Cisc - Cisc Identity Skipchain, a distributed key/value storage handled by a permissioned, personal blockchain with an SSH-plugin
- Scmgr - Skipchain Manager, if you want to dive in further using Skipchains and create your own root- and config-Skipchains
- Conode - everybody can run his own personal conode that can be included in the global cothority-network
Privacy preserving, decentralized, distributed, blockchain-related, and lots of other buzzwords are covered with our Cothority-framework. Different projects are done using our framework in EPFL and other Universities. Here is some overview of what you can do and what not.
- SDAArchitecture gives you a broad overview of how the different parts work together
- CothorityTemplate explains a very simple protocol/service/app that can be used as a template for further work
- CoSiExample shows you how the ideas of a paper have been implemented
- Coding technical aspects of programming in Cothority
So you want it all, go down to the base of the code and make it faster / more secure / better understandable. Or perhaps you see a bug and want to fix it yourself. Here is a list of places that can help you:
- Cothority-Framework-Description High level descriptions of the Cothority framework
- GoDoc entry point to the go-documentation
- Coding technical aspects of programming in Cothority
- DirectoryScheme what is stored where
- EntryIssues if you want to start with a small issue
- Roadmap things we plan on doing
- OpenIssues what we know to fail and how to work around it
