Package whisper implements the Whisper PoC-1.
|
|
|
|
(https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Whisper-PoC-1-Protocol-Spec)
|
|
|
|
Whisper combines aspects of both DHTs and datagram messaging systems (e.g. UDP).
|
|
As such it may be likened and compared to both, not dissimilar to the
|
|
matter/energy duality (apologies to physicists for the blatant abuse of a
|
|
fundamental and beautiful natural principle).
|
|
|
|
Whisper is a pure identity-based messaging system. Whisper provides a low-level
|
|
(non-application-specific) but easily-accessible API without being based upon
|
|
or prejudiced by the low-level hardware attributes and characteristics,
|
|
particularly the notion of singular endpoints.
