Zot Communications Protocol

URL = http://dfrn.org/zot-protocol.txt

Description

"Zot! is a communications protocol for social communications on the web. The protocol consists of two basic functions: send-message and remote-access.

These functions are built on top of other web standards, such as webfinger/lrdd and atom/activitystreams. Communications are encrypted and both sides of the communication verified through crytpographic means before communication is allowed.

Zot! does not prove identity. It verifies communications endpoints, and secures messages between those endpoints.

Zot! is an evolution of and a simplification of many concepts which originated within the DFRN protocol." (http://dfrn.org/zot-protocol.txt)
