Brief explanation of my network- <ul> <li>Every node on the network has status data about every other node on the network including the public key. ( like blockchain, but not blockchain hashes etc.) </li> <li>Users communicate with their node using mobile browser. </li> </ul> From my limited understanding of Noise at this time my approach might be to use between nodes - <ul> <li> the Noise_KK pattern as public keys are already known. </li> <li>use h, the handshake hash as PSK to remove the need for a handshake on resumption of a connection.</li> </ul> A problem I am facing is the communication between a users mobile and their node. <ul> <li>SSL would be the obvious choice for this but would require an X509 certificate (lets encrypt) tied to an Ip Address rather than domain name.</li> <li>X509 certificates tied to Ip Addresses seem to be a problem.</li> </ul> There has been quite a bit of discussion on this list about Noise and TLS. My question in this case- <ul> <li>is there any way currently available to use other than an X509 certificate to secure the link between a mobile browser and in my case a jetty server?</li> <li>preferably using Noise.</li> </ul> Comments appreciated. Finally, thanks to all the contributors to this technology, especially in my case, to Rhys for the Noise-Java code. -being fellow Australians, I can call him by his first name :-) Paul Fraser </body> </html>
