# p3lib

**The toolbox for enhancing privacy in P2P networks**

p3lib implements a set of privacy preserving primitives and protocols that help

engineers to build P2P and decentralized systems that protect peer's privacy. 

The primitives implemented by p3lib are based on privacy enhancing technology

research:

- `p3lib-sphinx` implements a general-purpose onion routing packet

construction and processor based on Sphinx [1]. p3lib aims at adding more primitives and

protocols in the future. Stay tuned and [let us know what you'd like to see as part of p3lib](https://github.com/hashmatter/p3lib/issues/18)

library.

- `p3lib-fullrt` implements a full routing table DHT lookup for libp2p that was

  suggested by OctupusDHT [2], to protect DHT initiator privacy during the

recursive network lookup.

- `p3lib-sinkhole` is a computational PIR system [3] that complements DHT lookups

	and guarantees probavle privacy for DHT lookup initiators

| Layer | p3lib components | implementation status |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Packet format  | `p3lib-sphinx` [1]  | v0.1 |

| Full Routing Table request | `p3lib-fullrt` [2] | v0.1 |

| Sinkhole DHT | `p3lib-sinkhole` | specs |

If you are interested about implementation details and APIs of p3lib components,

check the [specifications](./specs).

p3lib is designed to integrate seamlessly with [libp2p](https://github.com/libp2p).

Do you have ideas about some rad stuff you'd like to see implemented by p3lib?
