    First of all the choice of C is because it was the language I was the most confidant writing secure code in. I'm not going to learn a new language and then right away start try to …

    endianess doesn't matter when you all you do with it is store it and check if it's equal to another. In all cases where it does matter, the values are converted. Tox has been confi…

    Instead of doing things like encrypting ips, peers have temporary DHT public keys. The only way to get the ip of someone from their Tox id is by knowing their public DHT key which …
