I2P Conference Schedule For August

Post by sadie »

Hi Everyone,

Next month will be busy! Meet up with I2P developers at two workshops at Defcon 27, and connect with researchers who have been observing I2P censorship at FOCI '19.



I2P for Cryptocurrency Developers
Monero Village
August 9, 3:15pm
Monero Village will be on the 26th floor of Bally's (map https://defcon.org/html/defcon-27/dc-27-venue.html)

This workshop will assist developers in designing applications to communicate over I2P for anonymity and security.We will discuss common requirements for cryptocurrency applications, and review each application's architecture and specific needs.Then, we will cover tunnel communications, router and library selection, and packaging choices, and answer all questions related to integrating I2P.
The goal is to create secure, scalable, extensible, and efficient designs that meets the needs of each particular project.




I2P For Application Developers
Crypto & Privacy Village
Saturday August 10, 2pm - 3:30pm
Planet Hollywood (map https://defcon.org/images/defcon-27/map ... public.pdf)
This workshop is not recorded. So don't miss it!

The workshop provides an introduction to the ways an application can be made to work with the I2P Anonymous Peer-to-Peer network. Developers should learn that the use of anonymous P2P in their applications need not be that different than what they are already doing in non-anonymous Peer-to-Peer applications. It begins with an introduction to the I2P plugins system, showing how the existing plugins set themselves up to do communication over I2P and what's good and bad about each approach. Afterwards, we'll continue on to the programatically controlling I2P via it's SAM and I2PControl API's. Finally, we'll take a dive into the SAMv3 API by starting a new library utilizing it in Lua and writing a simple application.



Measuring I2P Censorship at a Global Scale
FOCI '19
Tuesday August 13th 10:30am
Hyatt Regency Santa Clara
Co-located with USENIX Security '19
Workshop Program: https://www.usenix.org/conference/foci1 ... op-program

The prevalence of Internet censorship has prompted the creation of several measurement platforms for monitoring filtering activities. An important challenge faced by these platforms revolves around the trade-off between depth of measurement and breadth of coverage. In this paper, we present an opportunistic censorship measurement infrastructure built on top of a network of distributed VPN servers run by volunteers, which we used to measure the extent to which the I2P anonymity network is blocked around the world. This infrastructure provides us with not only numerous and geographically diverse vantage points, but also the ability to conduct in-depth measurements across all levels of the network stack. Using this infrastructure, we measured at a global scale the availability of four different I2P services: the official homepage, its mirror site, reseed servers, and active relays in the network. Within a period of one month, we conducted a total of 54K measurements from 1.7K network locations in 164 countries. With different techniques for detecting domain name blocking, network packet injection, and block pages, we discovered I2P censorship in five countries: China, Iran, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. Finally, we conclude by discussing potential approaches to circumvent censorship on I2P.
