[OpenWrt-Devel] GNUnet for Battlemesh

Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:01:47 -0700 

Dear OpenWRT-hackers,

i am from the project EDN that has the goal to increase privacy and
security for everyone's communication - especially in and by open
wireless communities.
For that reason we want to test several promising projects.

One of it is GNUnet that we aim to have running in the Battlemesh.
For that purpose there has already been done some effort/:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/gnunet

To make it really happen we plan one or more meetings in Leipzig, Halle
or Berlin, depending on the people willing to come.
Who likes to learn and support GNUnet for the Battlemesh is welcome!:)

All the best

GNUnet meets OpenWRT

GNUnet-meets-OpenWRT has the goal to prepare GNUnet for the upcoming Battlemesh in the first week in august.
Using the packaging of GNUnet for OpenWRT provided by dangowrt, we are now able to deploy portions of GNUnet to WLan router - Kudos!

To prepare GNUnet for the Battlemesh, we need your help:

  • set-up GNUnet in a way that allows for running the Battlemesh benchmarks on top of GNUnet VPN. The benchmarks mainly use ping and iperf.
  • refine and test its configuration and packaging
  • especially clean up the packaging of gnunet-utils (Currently, some scripts require openssl, some other require certtool)
  • remove dependencies towards libraries too big or not useful for small storage-limited devices
  • migrate scripts to use OpenWRT provided tools


Envisioned use-cases

The goal is to have reproducible recipies to get stuff running out-of-the-box, at least:

  • only cadet (wrt841 and such)
  • cadet + vpn + gns (routers with 8mb flash)
  • cadet + gns + datastore (nas devices and plugs to donate 24/7 storage)

Ideally we'll also get started on:

  • cadet + gns + conversation (basic "feature-phone")
  • cadet + vpn + gns + conversation + datastore + fs (all currently available features)
  •  ???

fs- file sharing


Show during Battlemesh

The following things would be useful to show during Battlemesh:

  • Basic setup of GNUnet on OpenWrt
  • How to use GNUnet VPN on OpenWrt
  • How to use GNUnet's GNS on OpenWrt
  • How to visualize CADET (i.e. real-time topology graph)

Brainstorming topics

  • Router Web-UI integration of basic GNUnet services, ie. cadet, vpn and gns. It should allow users to manage EGOs, integrate GNS with dnsmasq and easily setup VPN links.

-> we need a GNUnet-plugin for rpcd, see
-> we need a neet luci2 UI using that interface.

  • using GNUnet as a distributed PKI infrastructure which could be usable as an authentication-layer for wpa_supplicant, e.g. on 802.11s instead using SAE.The current GNUnet-way to directly use WiFi via injection is limited to very low transfer speeds using injection (ie. layer-1). I imagine that this or other existing out-of-band connections to GNUnet could be used for session-setup/keying on P2P/"WiFi-Direct", 802.11s or Ad-Hoc mode and subsequently enjoy the performance of UDPv6 over the now setup layer-2 (+link-local-layer-3) link. This would bring about a huge performance gain and if built around the wpa_supplicant's control socket to setup a GO it could even work on some smartphones with broken/jailed fullmac wifi...It would also be very useful for wireless community networks as it would finally allow participants to technically implement individual pico-peering agreements -- not only for authentication and keying, but also for channel selection and minimum-transfer-rate agreements/ consensus.
