Overview

Package whisper implements the Whisper protocol (version 5).

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.

type SentMessage 

type SentMessage struct {
	Raw []byte

func (*SentMessage) Wrap 

func (msg *SentMessage) Wrap(options *MessageParams) (envelope *Envelope, err error)

pow (Proof Of Work) controls how much time to spend on hashing the message, inherently controlling its priority through the network (smaller hash, bigger priority).

The user can control the amount of identity, privacy and encryption through the options parameter as follows:

  • options.From == nil && options.To == nil: anonymous broadcast
  • options.From != nil && options.To == nil: signed broadcast (known sender)
  • options.From == nil && options.To != nil: encrypted anonymous message
  • options.From != nil && options.To != nil: encrypted signed message
