mailchuck c804f6c181 Opportunistic encryption with TLS (2 of 2)
These are dummy key and certificates. They are loaded but otherwise not
used. This is a workaround against python's ssl_wrap deficiency, it
won't allow to execute a server-side SSL handshake without a loaded key
+ cert. Since generating key/cert locally would require additional
libraries, I opted for including a dummy one in the source.

PyBitmessage

Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication, which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.

Development

Bitmessage is a collaborative project. You are welcome to submit pull requests although if you plan to put a non-trivial amount of work into coding new features, it is recommended that you first solicit feedback on the DevTalk pseudo-mailing list: BM-2D9QKN4teYRvoq2fyzpiftPh9WP9qggtzh
