products like Tor<\/a>, cDc said there\u2019s no profit motive behind the product, which was created \u201cto promote ideals without the compromise of capitalism.\u201d The group emphasized the focus on building for good, not profit, by throwing slight shade at a competing conference for industry professionals, Black Hat, held in Las Vegas at the same time as DEF CON. \u201cIf you wanted to go make a bunch of money, you\u2019d be over at Black Hat right now,\u201d Bowden said to the audience of hackers.<\/p>\nThe design standards behind Veilid are \u201clike Tor and IPFS had sex and produced this thing,\u201d cDc hacker Christien \u201cDilDog\u201d Rioux said at DEF CON. Tor is the privacy-focused web browser best known for its connections to the \u201cdark web,\u201d or unlisted websites. Run as a non-profit, the developers behind Tor run a system that routes web traffic through various \u201ctunnels\u201d to obscure who you are and what you\u2019re browsing on the web. IPFS, or the InterPlanetary File System, is an open-source set of protocols behind the internet, mainly used for file sharing or publishing data on a decentralized network.<\/p>\n
The bigger Veilid gets, the more secure it will be as well, according to Rioux. The strength doesn\u2019t come from the number of apps made on the framework, but by how many people use the apps to further the routing of nodes that make up the network. \u201cThe network gains strength by a single popular app,\u201d Rioux said. \u201cThe big Veilid network is supported by the entire ecosystem not just your app.\u201d In the presentation, cDc likened the nodes to mutual aid in the sense that they work to strengthen and support each other to make the entire network more secure.<\/p>\n
Rious explained that VLD0 will be the cryptography \u2014 the protocols that keep information secure \u2014 behind Veilid. It\u2019s a mix of existing cryptography frameworks, like Ed25519 to support authentication efforts and xChaCha20-Poy1305 as its 192-bit encryption support. But, recognizing that advancing technology will change cryptography needs over time, cDc already has a plan to handle updates. \u201cEvery new version of our crypto system is supported alongside the old ones\u201d so that there are no gaps in security, Rioux said. cDc also put other measures in place like anti-spoofing, end-to-end encryption even at rest and data protection even if you lose your device.<\/p>\n
Veiled and cDc aim to build an approachable internet with fewer ads and more privacy, according to Bowden. Veilid Chat, a messaging app similar to Signal, will be the first app built on the framework. You\u2019ll be able to sign up without using a phone number, to decrease personal identifiers, Bowden told Engadget in an email.<\/p>\n
cDc is currently in the process of putting together a community and foundation to support the project. \u201cThere are a lot of folks who can\u2019t see past web3 as far as privacy (we are more like the web2 we should have had), and really can\u2019t process the idea that we\u2019re doing this without a profit motive,\u201d Bowden said.<\/p>\n
Known as the \u201coriginal hacking supergroup<\/a>,\u201d cDc\u2019s most noted accomplishments include inventing hacktivism, helping to develop Tor and pushing top companies to take privacy seriously.
