CapTP (Capability Transport Protocol) which is the heart of OCapN. This protocol allows for networked programming which, with the appropriate tooling, has the convenience of programming against "networked objects" which are little different from any other asynchronous programming in the host language.
A generalized "netlayer" interface and specifications of compatible implementations. OCapN's CapTP can be run over different "netlayer" implementations ranging from Tor Onion Services to IBC to I2P to libp2p to perhaps carrier pigeons with backpacks full of encrypted microsd cards.
A URI structure for addressing machines and specific objects on machines."

One of many interesting articles. See https://xeiaso.net/blog/2024/homelab-v2/, https://xeiaso.net/blog/idk-about-email/, https://xeiaso.net/blog/push-2fa-considered-harmful/ for others.Tue Nov 12 13:18:15 2024 - permalink -
On https://xeiaso.net/blog/move-away-rsa-ssh/, it is stated that "[it is] likely you can break 2048-bit RSA (the most widely deployed keysize) with a quantum computer that only uses 372 qubits of computational power. The IBM Osprey has 433 qubits."
