DIY Internet - Snappy, Secure Networking with MinimaLT

Explore the innovative MinimaLT network protocol in this JSConf EU 2013 talk by Andy Wingo. Dive into the challenges of slow internet connections, particularly over 3G networks, and discover how MinimaLT aims to revolutionize online connectivity. Learn about a protocol that connects faster than TCP, offers enhanced security compared to TLS, and enables mobile devices to maintain connections while changing IP addresses. Gain insights into the anatomy of GET requests, HTTPS limitations, and the benefits of properly implemented, strong cryptography. Understand the concept of minimal latency and how it applies to modern internet needs. Examine the wire protocol, cryptographic aspects, and the role of directory servers in MinimaLT. Compare its performance to TCP and explore its potential impact on denial-of-service attacks. Get acquainted with the project status, including its application in Minimal.T. remote IPC for Ethos and potential integration with POSIX and JavaScript. Conclude with a call to action for developers to experiment and contribute to building a new, more efficient internet infrastructure.
