F2F

F2F.gif
Friend2Friend (F2F) is a design for cryptographically identified XML virtual machines to host users' XML data and applications. The system is highly modular and has a range of Xpath/XSD/XSLT-based hooks for software developers. F2F script extends XSLT by adding methods for communications, crypto, disk and system access.

We'd like to...

  • meet up with others developing federated social software technology.
  • share the bigger picture of F2F servers as a secure decentralization of Web Sites.
  • give you support with F2F, hear ideas for which software to develop for F2F.

What an F2F VM is good for

  • Powering decentralised social software
  • Automating XSLT-based data transforms
  • Creating of semantic web mashup software/sites

It was conceived as a platform for implementing Altruistic Economics (a decentralised accounting system for a global Gift Economy), but would suit any software that needed access to personal data, expressible in XML, which wanted secure networking and/or operation of instructions on multiple machines.

Project Status

  • Code is currently broken in the latest PHP version :-(.
  • A PHP5 version which runs as a daemon and throws a soft stack traces if it encounters exceptions
  • A GUI for running multiple F2F systems on one host, and inspecting individual packets
  • We need to evaluate the new W3C XML crypto spec, whether it is functional enough for use
  • It currently lacks an effective transport system
  • Thinking about Java as a preferred language to code it in, to avoid the PHP bugs.
