Welcome to the open-source implementation of [SCION](https://www.scion.org/)

(Scalability, Control and Isolation On next-generation Networks), a future Internet architecture.

SCION provides route control, failure isolation, and explicit trust information for end-to-end communication.

To find out more about the project, please visit our [documentation site](https://docs.scion.org/en/latest/).

## Installation

Installation packages for Debian and derivatives are available for x86-64, arm64, x86-32 and arm.

These packages can be found in the [latest release](https://github.com/scionproto/scion/releases/latest).

Packages for in-development versions can be found from the [latest nightly build](https://buildkite.com/scionproto/scion-nightly/builds/latest).

Alternatively, "naked" pre-built binaries are available for Linux x86-64 and

can be downloaded from the [latest release](https://github.com/scionproto/scion/releases/latest) or the

[latest nightly build](https://buildkite.com/scionproto/scion-nightly/builds/latest).

### Build from sources

SCION can be built with `go build`. To build all binaries used in a SCION deployment (i.e.

excluding the testing and development tools), run

```sh

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o bin ./router/... ./control/... ./dispatcher/... ./daemon/... ./scion/... ./scion-pki/... ./gateway/...

```

The default way to build SCION, however, uses Bazel.

In particular, this allows to run all the tests, linters etc.

Please visit our [documentation site](https://docs.scion.org/en/latest/dev/setup.html) for

instructions on how to set up Bazel and the full development environment.

### Connecting to the SCION Network

Join [SCIONLab](https://www.scionlab.org) if you're interested in playing with SCION in an

operational global test deployment of SCION.

The [awesome-scion](https://github.com/scionproto/awesome-scion#deployments) list contains

pointers to production deployments of SCION.
