Security-Relevant Areas

peat-mesh is a P2P mesh networking library. The following areas are particularly security-sensitive:

  • Mesh networking: Peer discovery, topology management, and message routing
  • QUIC transport: TLS configuration, connection establishment, and stream multiplexing
  • Certificate enrollment: Identity issuance, validation, and chain-of-trust verification
  • CRDT sync: Conflict-free replicated data type synchronization and state convergence

When integrating peat-mesh, follow these practices:

  • Validate peer identities before accepting connections
  • Use the provided certificate enrollment flow rather than manual certificate management
  • Keep dependencies up to date
  • Monitor QUIC transport configurations for secure defaults
