Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Version 2 P2P Encrypted Transport Protocol |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A v2 connection does an Elligator-style handshake and then encrypts the byte stream, so a passive observer cannot read the messages or easily identify the protocol. |
| Who may write | Dhruv Mehta, Tim Ruffing, Jonas Schnelli and Pieter Wuille |
| What is settled | The handshake is unauthenticated against an active man in the middle, unless a later authentication is added. |
| Load-bearing assumption | This does not hide which IP you connect to. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
