Can we create a private data channel with a peer?

[norzak]

Is it possible to create a private webrtc channel with a specific peer over a specific torrent link? It would be awesome to use webtorrent as a signaling server to establish both data and media communications.

A private torrent may have a flag for allowing a private communication channel with the connecting peers.

You can try to reuse the existing simple-peer (webrtc datachannel) instance by iterating over torrent.wires. But it's probably to implement what you have in mind as a bittorrent-protocol extension. There's a robust extension API that should allow you to send whatever custom messages you desire between peers that support your extension.
