nwep

Rust bindings for the NWEP (WEB/1) protocol library — a decentralized, authenticated transport built on QUIC with Ed25519 identity, Merkle-log provenance, and BLS threshold signatures.

Features

• Mutual-authentication QUIC connections (client and server)
• Ed25519 keypair generation, signing, and verification
• Merkle log for append-only identity event records
• BLS threshold signatures and anchor quorums
• Identity cache with LRU eviction and TTL expiry
• Log server pool with health tracking and load balancing
• Trust store with equivocation detection

Quick start

use nwep::{init, Keypair, client::ClientBuilder};

init().unwrap();
let keypair = Keypair::generate().unwrap();

let client = ClientBuilder::new()
    .connect(keypair, "web://example.com/")
    .unwrap();

let resp = client.get("/hello").unwrap();
println!("{}: {}", resp.status, String::from_utf8_lossy(&resp.body));
client.close();

See examples/server.rs and examples/client.rs for runnable examples.

Build requirements

The native library is downloaded automatically at build time by setup.sh. You need:

• curl — to fetch the release archive from GitHub
• tar (Linux/macOS) or unzip (Windows) — to extract it
• Internet access during the first build (subsequent builds reuse the cached library)

On Windows, run inside Git Bash or WSL. PowerShell is not supported.

To pre-populate the library without a network connection, download the appropriate release archive from github.com/usenwep/nwep/releases, extract it to third_party/nwep/, and create a symlink (or directory junction on Windows) named current pointing to the extracted directory.
