# youandme

|
|
|
|
Python library to share data anonymously and securely* with limited traffic metadata.
|
|
|
|
\* The ID one connects to a host with must be shared via a secure (private, authenticated) channel.
|
|
|
|
`$ pip install youandme`
|
|
|
|
# why
|
|
|
|
In normal socket connections, Eve can see when Alex and Bob communicate and the size of their communications.
|
|
|
|
This library sends continuous streams of data (null bytes) even when no information is being communicated, in order to increase unobservability of transmission times and packet sizes.
|
|
|
|
Anonymity and encryption is provided via Tor onion services, though this library could easily be adapted to use plaintext (and encryption by an application) or another relay like I2P.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# security
|
|
|
|
As stated above, this library does no authentication. However, if the ID is shared privately and safely, the tunnel will have roughly the security of a Tor v3 onion service, with increased metadata unobservability.
