# Vac - Communication & Privacy
|
|
|
|
## About Vac
|
|
|
|
Vac builds [public good](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good) protocols for the decentralized web.
|
|
|
|
We do applied research based on which we build protocols, libraries and publications. Custodians of protocols that reflect [a set of principles](/principles).
|
|
|
|
## Our Principles
|
|
|
|
Liberty, censorship resistance, security, privacy, transparency, openness, decentralization, inclusivity, continuance, resourcefulness.
|
|
|
|
These principles act as tools. Tools for thinking, for communication, and for decentralized decision making. They keep us honest about where we are failing short of our vision.
|
|
|
|
The meaning of these principles are elaboarted on [here](/principles).

|
## Projects
|
|
|
|
**Secure Messaging**. We design modular, p2p protocols for private, anonymous, secure and censorship-resistant communications. The main focus is [Waku](https://waku.org), the communication layer for Web3.
|
|
|
|
**zk-WASM**. Research into making private and provable computation using WASM that is verified using zero-knowledge proofs.
|
|
|
|
**RAD - RFCs & Dissemination**. We build [specifications](https://rfc.vac.dev) for self-sustainable robust protocols with strong and modular privacy guarantees. [Rough consensus and running code](https://www.ietf.org/about/participate/tao/). We also write papers and collaborate closely with other projects/institutions, and aim to build a bridge between industry and academia.
|
|
|
|
**Applied ZK & Explorations**. We build tools to enable new fundamental building blocks using cutting-edge zero-knowledge proof systems. For example, [Zerokit](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/).
