Willow Sync
General Sync Protocol for Willow written in Rust
Willow is a protocol for syncable data stores, forming resilient data networks which can endure indefinite connectivity outages. This protocol brings qualitative advances to data deletion in distributed networks, supports completely decentralised fine-grained permission schemes, and has been designed to use memory, bandwidth (and consequently energy) efficiently. In this project, the Willow protocol will be implemented using the Rust programming language. This new implementation will be able to take advantage of Rust’s efficiency and safety guarantees, and make the protocol accessible to embedded devices, as well as provide a more efficient solution for smartphones, computers, and servers alike.
