  • todo:
    • Encryption to server.
    • server to server meshing.
    • asynchronous client managment instead of threaded approach.

Goals:

  • Learn the rust programming lanaguage.
    • Ownership: how that affects normal programming styles.
    • Borrowing and references: how this affects shared state.
    • Lifetimes: how this affects data retention and sharing.
  • Learn how to create networked programs.
    • Application level protocol: how to get two programs to communicate via TCP sockets.
    • Socket handling: Discovering ways to handle multiple socket connections without affecting performance.
  • Learn common encryption protocols.
    • Adding support for encrypted sockets.
    • Pros and cons of symetric and asymetric encryption.
    • resolving common encryption flaws
