I’ve seen a few references to the Noise framework in discussions about TLS 1.3 and elsewhere.
What do people know about it? Seems interesting, but I don’t know how to evaluate it.
It is a framework which helps to build custom DH-based protocols.
You can build numerous protocols :
Noise{$variant}_${pattern}_${dhcurve}_${streamcipher}_${hash}
Example:
Noise_XK_secp256k1_ChaChaPoly_SHA256
Noise will be used in polkadot, so we will be integrating it into C++ libp2p. I am not sure which variants/patterns, but at least some.

Mafintosh gave a presentation in Tokyo on how the Dat project is planning to use Noise…
