Description We addressed a problem of safe mutually anonymous communication in a P2P overlay. Any peer in the overlay is able to initiate communication with another peer, without knowing their real IP address—using only their identifier within the overlay. Thanks to establishing peers’ public keys as identifiers, every message is digitally signed and the usage of ECC provides an instant access to end-to-end encryption without any need for negotiation of a shared key.
