Overview

Noise is a connection security protocol. It provides a secure transport channel for swift-libp2p based on the Noise Protocol Framework. Following an initial plaintext handshake, all data exchanged between peers using swift-libp2p-noise is encrypted and protected from eavesdropping.

⚠️ Warning

This package has NOT been extensively tested in real world applications and should NOT be used in production environments. Although the actual cryptography is handled by swift-crypto, the handshake logic could, and probably does, contain a myriad of bugs. Please feel free to look over the code and submit improvements where you see fit.
