team, you will participate in protocol research, design,
implementation and testing, leading to the release of a
peer-to-peer data synchronization tool – Ouisync. Its purpose will
be to replace users’ dependence on cloud solutions such as
Dropbox, and connectivity within network environments that
practice heavily filtering, as well as during sporadic Internet
shutdowns. Ouisync will introduce device-to-device connectivity,
feature non-fingerprintable encryption and be amenable to various
transport protocols.</p>
