32 | <h4>Transport Next Generation (TNG): Communicator plugins</h4> | ||
33 | <p> | ||
34 | {% trans %} | ||
35 | The GNUnet team is currently working on a transport layer rewrite | ||
36 | in order to fix core issues with connectivity. | ||
37 | This new component is currently developed under the name "TNG". | ||
38 | What is currently known as "transport plugins" will in the TNG | ||
39 | be represented as "communicators". | ||
40 | |||
41 | Communicators are processes with a well defined API that allow | ||
42 | to connect peers over a specific protocol. | ||
43 | The primary protocol which are already implemented are UNIX sockets, | ||
44 | UDP sockets, and TCP sockets. | ||
45 | |||
46 | For a truly resilient network, other connectivity options such as | ||
47 | WiFi mesh, Bluetooth, HTTP(S), QUIC or even more obscure alternatives | ||
48 | such as radio are required. | ||
49 | |||
50 | In this project, the goal is to select, implement and test new | ||
51 | communicators. | ||
52 | While TNG is not yet ready, communicators can, by design, be developed | ||
53 | and tested against the current API. | ||
54 | |||
55 | We expect that this project can be worked on by multiple students | ||
56 | as there are a lot of protocols to choose from. | ||
57 | The tasks would consist of: | ||
58 | <ol> | ||
59 | <li>Deciding which communicators to implement.</li> | ||
60 | <li>Test the communicators.</li> | ||
61 | <li>Documentation.</li> | ||
62 | </ol> | ||
63 | Advantageous skills/languages/frameworks: | ||
64 | <ol> | ||
65 | <li>C</li> | ||
66 | <li>Knowledge of HTTPS, QUIC, Bluetooth or WiFi.</li> | ||
67 | </ol> | ||
68 | <br/> | ||
69 | <strong>Difficulty:</strong> Average, but depends on selected protocols. | ||

77 | <h4>REST: Multi-user support</h4> | ||
78 | <p> | ||
79 | {% trans %} | ||
80 | The REST API currently only supports a single user system. | ||
81 | This is an issue as on multi-user systems, access control | ||
82 | must be enfoced on a per-user basis. | ||
83 | |||
84 | In this project, the REST service must be extended to | ||
85 | support user authentication. | ||
86 | This includes the correct handling of user context switches. | ||
87 | <ol> | ||
88 | <li>Implement user authentication.</li> | ||
89 | <li>Test the access control.</li> | ||
90 | <li>Document the changes to the REST API.</li> | ||
91 | </ol> | ||
92 | Advantageous skills/languages/frameworks: | ||
93 | <ol> | ||
94 | <li>C</li> | ||
95 | <li>Knowledge of user authentication subsystems on Linux/Unix.</li> | ||
96 | <li>REST/HTTP Authentication methods</li> | ||
97 | </ol> | ||
98 | <br/> | ||
99 | <strong>Difficulty:</strong> Easy | ||
