This study analyzes Nostr relays’ architecture, operational behaviors, and constraints, evaluating performance, scalability, and privacy trade-offs to clarify their role and limits within decentralized communication systems.
A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) is a formal document that outlines technical or policy changes to Bitcoin. BIPs guide community debate, standardize upgrades, and shape the network’s future evolution.
This study examines Nostr’s decentralized relay-based architecture, assessing cryptographic key management, threat models, and privacy limitations, and proposing pragmatic enhancements to bolster censorship resistance and anonymity.
This article examines the Nostr protocol client, detailing its decentralized architecture, cryptographic key management, and implications for security and privacy in message handling and identity.
This article examines the Nostr relay’s design and operation, detailing its message-forwarding mechanisms, concurrency handling, and throughput characteristics to assess scalability and deployment trade-offs.
Nostr’s client architecture decouples relays from identity, using secp256k1 keypairs for signing and optional end-to-end encryption. We evaluate key management, metadata leakage, and resilience trade-offs.
This study examines Nostr’s decentralized client architecture, analyzing key management and message encryption strategies, assessing privacy and security trade-offs, and proposing targeted improvements.
The Nostr protocol client employs a decentralized relay architecture with public-key identities; this study examines key management, message encryption, and attack surfaces to assess privacy and security trade-offs.
This analysis examines the Nostr protocol client’s decentralized architecture, key management, and encryption methods, assessing privacy and security strengths, limitations, and recommendations for improvement.
