Geph 4.8 has just been released. Some of its features include:
- Improved UI: better error reporting, animations, and logging
- Enhanced reconnection performance: suitable for unstable networks
- Security updates for
sosistab2
and other underlying protocols
As usual, downloads can be found on our official website
Mel integration and decentralization
A particularly unique feature in this release is improved connection security through integration with a decentralized, Mel-based public key infrastructure. A further discussion can be found on Mel's blog.
Mel is a prototype layer 1 blockchain, also founded by Geph's creator @nullchinchilla. Unlike current blockchains that focus on "crypto" apps like smart contract-based DeFi and are difficult to use to secure non-blockchain apps, Mel aims to become an extremely robust, credibly neutral base layer for censorship resistance and decentralization in applications across the whole internet.
This initial PKI-level integration makes it harder for attackers to compromise our servers and spy on Geph traffic. In the future, we aim to transform Geph into a fully decentralized, confederal anti-censorship relay protocol, and we look forward to sharing more details in the future!
我们刚刚发布迷雾通 4.8 版。它的一些新功能包括:
- UI 改进:更好的错误报告、动画和日志记录
- 更快重连:适合不稳定的网络环境
- 对
sosistab2
及其他底层协议的安全更新
和往常一样,可以在我们的官方网站上找到下载链接。
Mel 的整合与去中心化
但这次发布有另一个特别独特的功能——与基于 Mel 的公钥基础设施(PKI)的整合。这将显著降低迷雾通客户端对服务器的信任,进而提高安全性。(更多细节可以在 Mel 的博客 上找到)
Mel 是一个正在研发中的去中心化区块链,同样由迷雾通作者 @nullchinchilla 创立。Mel 与目前围绕「币圈」的区块链截然不同:它旨在成为帮助整个互联网——特别是迷雾通这种非区块链应用——实现抗审查和去中心化的基础层,因而完全专注在去中心化、可信中立、链下整合这些经常被目前的区块链遗忘的最重要特性。
这一初步的 PKI 整合对迷雾通的改变并不大——只是使攻击者更难以攻破我们的服务器并监视迷雾通流量。但在未来,我们计划将迷雾通变成一个完全去中心化的邦联式翻墙协议,我们也非常期待与大家分享接下来的计划!
