======

how can you trust your friends, friends

can store just under 900 records with todays browser standards

hope top develop  model

* enhance centralized dns with a web of trust.

* trust your friends and bypass registrars.

* have your own TLD for free.

* decentralized trust based on strong cryptography.

* generate a key pair

* send your friends your public key via facebook link

* sign

* send friends a link with your public key via facebook / email

* a friend sends you their public key link

* the l

random

------

if the key does not exist

	create a new key

	join the network

	find friend based on public key

	request a packet using public key

	send data

	user has no key pair

		generate key pair

	

	user joins a named group

	user requests data bundles for trusted keys	

	

	data bundle has

		array of "name=ip"

		array of keys trusted by user

	

	user keys for friends of friends 3 levels deep

	

	collision resolution using friend depth

	

	web of trust

	

	52 bits

	

	keypair.generate

	keypair.save

	keypair.load

	keypair.sign

	keypair.verify

	network.createPeer

	network.connect

	network.addFriend

	network.

	maintain a list of trusted peers (this is the list of public keys) and the last time that they were updated

	npm install peer

	mvp

		sign

		verify

		add trusted

		send names

		request names

	generate

	save

	load

	new Pns

	load

	sign

	verify

	startup

		(load|create) identity

		(add|load) trusted friends

	

		user starts up

			if no key is present

				ask user to import one or generate one

	

			once a keypair is in place

				verify the signed record

		

			import new records from the UI

				connect to the network using public key as id

	

			on connect

				cycle through trusted users sending and receiving updated name records

	

			wait for connections from other users

	

	

		send my records if they have changed since they were last sent to the user

		send my records if they are requested

		request records from any trusted peer with no existing record
