An Examination of the Nostr Protocol: Decentralized Censorship-Resistant Communication
The Nostr protocol is a decentralized communication platform that aims to provide censorship-resistant and privacy-preserving communication. It utilizes a novel data structure called a “Relay Chain” to distribute messages without the need for a central server. Nostr employs strong encryption and cryptographic signatures to ensure message authenticity and integrity. This examination investigates the protocol’s design, security features, and potential challenges.
