secure-webrtc-swarm
Create a swarm of p2p connections with invited peers using WebRTC.
This module allows you to securely create a (fully) meshed network of WebRTC connections. To do this a shared secret is used. The secret should be shared out of band eg. by passing it along in the hash portion of a link.
While connecting via WebRTC personal information like available IP addresses is exchanged via a remote WebSocket server. This creates the risk of information leakage and man-in-the-middle attacks. secure-webrtc-swarm
encrypts this data stream using the shared secret. The shared secret is also used to authenticate incoming WebRTC connection requests.
Install
npm install secure-webrtc-swarm
Usage
var Hub = var Swarm = var wrtc = // not needed in the browser var hub1 = 'myNamespace' 'https://signalhub.perguth.de:65300/'var hub2 = 'myNamespace' 'https://signalhub.perguth.de:65300/' var key1 = Swarm // default key length: 16var key2 = Swarm var swarm1 = hub1 keys: key1 key2 wrtc // not needed in the browservar swarm2 = hub2 wrtcswarm2keys swarm1
API
This module shares the same API as webrtc-swarm
with the addition of:
Swarm.createKey([length])
Creates a random string containg alphanumeric characters. Default length: 16
swarm.keys
Contains the keys that are shared within the swarm. Only peers with at least one matching key connect to each other.
swarm.sharedKeys
Contains learned information about which peer accepts which key.
