What is Reticulum?
******************
Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack for building wide-area
networks with readily available hardware, that can continue to operate even
with extremely low bandwidth and very high latency.
Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack for building both local and
wide-area networks with readily available hardware, that can continue to operate
under adverse conditions, such as extremely low bandwidth and very high latency.
Reticulum allows you to build wide-area networks with off-the-shelf tools, and
offers end-to-end encryption, autoconfiguring cryptographically backed
multi-hop transport, efficient addressing, unforgeable packet acknowledgements
and more.

From a users perspective, Reticulum allows the creation of applications that
respect and empower the autonomy and sovereignity of communities and individuals.
Reticulum enables secure digital communication that cannot be subjected to
outside control, manipulation or censorship.
Reticulum enables the construction of planetary-scale networks, without the need for
hierarchichal or beaureucratical structures to control or manage them, while still
allowing individuals and communities full sovereignity over their own network segments.
Reticulum is a complete networking stack, and does not need IP or higher
