ഗ്രാമീണ മേഖലകളിൽ ഹൈസ്പീഡ് ഇന്റർനെറ്റ് ലഭ്യമല്ലാത്തതും ഡാറ്റാ ചാർജുകൾ കൂടുതലായിരുന്നതുമായ കാലത്ത്, KLWP തങ്ങൾക്ക് മികച്ച ഒരു ഓപ്ഷനായി മലയാളികൾ കണ്ടു. 4G ഇന്റർനെറ്റിന്റെ വ്യാപനത്തിന് മുൻപ്, തിയേറ്ററിൽ നിന്ന് ഇറങ്ങി ഏതാനും മണിക്കൂറുകൾക്കുള്ളിൽ തന്നെ KLWP-യിൽ സിനിമകൾ ലഭ്യമാകുമായിരുന്നു.

  • Create a decentralized social sharing network designed with no dependencies on any corporate system or central servers.
  • Favor the use of strong cryptography in daily communication.
  • Allow people to hide information from intelligence agencies and spying companies.
  • Favor freedom of speech, away from any possible censorship.
  • Stay independent from corporate systems and centralized servers (Central services might shut down or change their terms of services at any time. Do you remember Myspace? Or German Studivz? Remember when Facebook changed their terms of service? Skype being bought by Microsoft?)
  • Stay a free and open-source software. Only open-source software can provide truly secure communication. Developers can read Retroshare's source code and check that it is doing what it says.

Blog post: Ideals behind Retroshare

How does it work?

Retroshare allows you to create a network of computers (called nodes). Every user has it's own node. The exact location (the IP-address) of nodes is only known to neighbor nodes. You invite a person to become a neighbor by exchanging your Retroshare certificates with that person.

Links between nodes are authenticated using strong asymmetric keys (PGP format) and encrypted using Perfect Forward Secrecy (OpenSSL implementation of TLS).

On top of the network mesh, Retroshare provides services to securely and anonymously exchange data with other nodes in the network beyond your own friends.

Seems too nice to be true. What's the catch?

There is no catch. Retroshare is provided free of charge and does not generate any kind of money. It is the result of hard work that is only driven by the goals of providing a tool to evade censorship.

The only catch is that you will need to build your own network: in order to use Retroshare, you have to recruit friends and exchange certificates with them, or join an existing network of friends.

About

Retroshare was founded by drbob in 2006, as a platform to provide "secure communications and file sharing with friends". Since then other developers joined and steadily improved the software. Retroshare v0.6 is a new milestone which is based on experience from previous releases. A remarkable new component in Retroshare v0.6 is the generic data transportation system (internally named GXS) which abstracts the distribution of authenticated data throughout the network. On top of GXS, Retroshare provides distributed forums, movie channels with comments, and asynchronous messaging.
