GNUnet on Android
Port GNUnet protocol stack to Android mobile OS
This project is about making GNUnet, a network protocol stack for developing secure, distributed and privacy-preserving applications, available on Android. To achieve this, we are developing an Android application that runs the basic GNUnet services and make them available to other applications that want to use these services. As a blueprint for an application that uses GNUnet services, we will port the GTK-based GUI for the GNUnet's messenger service to Android. To get GNUnet running on Android, we need to make sure that GNUnet works behind NAT boxes in the mobile environment, and make changes to the GNUnet architecture so that it runs as a monolithic single-threaded app. Additionally, we have to take care of the resource consumption on mobile devices. Of course, tests and benchmarks need to be written and integrated into a new CI/CD worker that builds and verifies GNUnet on Android.
