Architecture
How EdgeVPN’s p2p network, encryption and ledger fit together.
Explanation
How EdgeVPN works and why it is built this way — architecture, the ledger, and the security model.
Background reading. Nothing here is required to use EdgeVPN, but the security model is worth reading before you deploy it.
The security model
What the network token protects, what it does not, and what every mechanism layered on top actually buys you.
The ledger
What the shared ledger stores, and what it deliberately does not.
The authenticated ledger
How ledger entries are signed, owned, versioned and reaped.
Discovery and NAT traversal
Placeholder — how peers find each other and get a connection through NAT. Not written yet.
When not to use EdgeVPN
What the decentralized design costs you, and the cases it is not a good fit for.
