Specifications
This repository contains the specs for vac, a modular peer-to-peer messaging stack, with a focus on secure messaging. A detailed explanation of the vac and its design goals can be found here.
Status
The entire vac protocol is under active development, each specification has its own status which is reflected through the version number at the top of every document. We use semver to version these specifications.
Protocols
These protocols define various components of the vac stack.
-
mvds - Ensure reliable messaging between peers across an unreliable peer-to-peer (P2P) network where they may be unreachable or unresponsive.
-
remote log - Ensures a node can read data from a node that iss offline by replicating a local log remotely.
Style guide
All specs follow RFC-2119.
