I2P anonymous network release 0.9.44

Submitted by Release I2P 0.9.44, the implementation of a multi-layer anonymous distributed network operating on top of the regular Internet, actively using end-to-end encryption, which guarantees anonymity and isolation. On the I2P network, you can anonymously create websites and blogs, send instant messages and e-mails, exchange files, and organize P2P networks. The basic I2P client is written in Java and can run on a wide range of platforms such as Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris, etc. Separately develops I2pd, an I2P client implementation in C++.

In the new I2P release:

  • Proposed initial support for a stronger and faster end-to-end encryption method, based on a bunch of ECIES-X25519-AEAD-Ratchet instead of ElGamal/AES+SessionTag. The implementation is currently only offered for experimentation and is not ready for end users;
  • Routing code changed to support multiple types of encryption;
  • In a BitTorrent client i2psnark new built-in multimedia players based on HTML5 are proposed and playlists for audio content are added;
  • Changed the design of the console home page;
  • On the Windows platform, data for new installations is now located in the %LOCALAPPDIR% directory;
  • Fixed an issue with building tunnels that caused delays on startup;
  • Addressed a vulnerability that could lead to a denial of service when hidden services handle new types of encryption.
