Week 14 2026 (Mon Mar 30 - Fri Apr 3, 2026) §
Highlights §
- achieved:
- Successfully deployed a cluster using terraform and ran the release tests in the cluster.
- Started working on a way to get the existing “distributed” release tests to run as part of the release workflow in CI. There was some machinery in place in the past, but this has proven to be cumbersome and complex, so part of this work is simplifying it a lot.
- next:
- Finish the release test workflow, so that it is automatically run in CI when a release is created.
AnonComm Collaboration §
- achieved:
- Research into Sphinx integrity issue:
- The the issue is described and tracked in here.
- Created a test to demonstrate the problem in this delta integrity PR
- Started research into LIONESS large block cipher as a potential solution to the payload integrity issue. Notes on this research can be found here
- Started implementing the LIONESS large-block cipher, which should be a better alternative to the existing implementation which has multiple limitations.
- Continued research into logos-storage hidden services over Mix.
- next:
- Continue research into solutions to the integrity problem, possibly looking at AEZ encryption as an alternative solution.
- Continue implementation and specification for the LIONESS cipher for payload integrity.
- Continue to work on logos-storage hidden services over Mix, by generalizing the approach for any type of service (not limited to storage), and defining how introduction points are established.
- achieved:
- next:
- Complete the move to the module builder
- Finish the HackMD document for NAT Traversal
- Start NAT Traversal implementation
