Peeriod is an open source project which strives for making privacy protected peer-to-peer file sharing available to the masses. Peeriod’s aim is to construct Onion Routing on top of a DHT, while at the same time avoiding certificate authorities. Each node is equally (un)trustworthy and can act as a relay node for encrypted traffic. A flooding-based search takes advantage of the DHT’s structure and provides full-text search capabilities.

We are currently working on a larger wiki and an accompanying generated code documentation. For a detailed description of the implemented concepts, see the two linked PDFs above for now.
This repository contains the code of Peeriod's interface which lives in the browser and communicates with the core.
Currently the interface has only been implemented as a Chrome browser extension.
