Open Research Problems
We are seeking to collaborate with researchers in the following topic areas. Feel free to join our Discord for discussion.
DHT (distributed hash table) security / privacy / anonymity
Compared to unstructured P2P overlay networks, DHTs offer efficient and (theoretically) reliable discovery. However, they are prone to eclipse attacks and typically offer weak privacy properties. This topic comprises researching novel techniques mitigating or even thwarting eclipse attacks against DHTs. A focus on Node Discovery Protocol v5 (discv5) is of special interest to the Vac team.
Further background on the usage of discv5 in Waku can be found in our research log. A new version of discv5 that is both efficient and provides eclipse mitigation is currently being researched.
Privacy-Preserving Incentivizations of waku protocols
- Incentivise relay
Devising novel applications of the Waku protocol stack
examples comprise
- p2p social network
- evoting system
