**A production-grade, self-organizing UDP mesh network with cryptographic security, leader election, and real-time terminal dashboards.**


Built on Termux/Android with **Ed25519 signatures**, **X25519 key agreement**, **ChaCha20Poly1305 encryption**, and **replay protection**. Automatic node discovery, real RSSI monitoring, and broadcast messaging included.


## Why Razor-Mesh?


| Feature | Razor-Mesh | Traditional Mesh |

|---------|-----------|-----------------|

| **Cryptography** | Ed25519 + X25519 + ChaCha20Poly1305 | Often basic/missing |

| **Node Discovery** | Automatic UDP broadcast | Manual configuration |

| **Real RSSI** | Via Termux:API on Android | Network-layer only |

| **Leader Election** | Score-based with epoch protection | Various/missing |

| **Replay Protection** | Nonce cache + timestamp window | Rarely implemented |

| **Asyncio Native** | Full async/await | Often synchronous |

| **Production Tested** | Yes (Termux, multi-node) | Varies |


## Installation


### Quick Start (PyPI)


```bash

pip install razor-mesh

razor-mesh --port 4445

```


### From Source


```bash

git clone https://github.com/sovereignai86/Razor-Mesh.git

cd Razor-Mesh

pip install -e .

```


### Requirements


- **Python 3.10+**

- **cryptography>=43.0.0**

- (Optional) Termux:API app for real Wi-Fi RSSI on Android


## Usage


### Launch a Single Node


```bash

razor-mesh --port 4445

```


### Launch Multiple Nodes (Auto-Discovery)


```bash

# Terminal 1

razor-mesh --port 4445


# Terminal 2

razor-mesh --port 4446


# Terminal 3

razor-mesh --port 4447 --send "Hello, Mesh Network!"

```


Nodes automatically discover each other via UDP broadcast. One becomes LEADER. Messages broadcast to all peers.


### Programmatic Usage


```python

from razor_mesh.core import RazorMeshNetwork


# Create mesh instance

mesh = RazorMeshNetwork(port=4445, broadcast_port=4446)


# Start listening

await mesh.start()


# Broadcast message

await mesh.broadcast("Hello mesh!")


# Receive messages

async for message in mesh.listen():

    print(f"[{message.node_id}]: {message.content}")

```


## Features


### Security

- ✅ **Ed25519** signatures on every packet (authentication)

- ✅ **X25519** key agreement per-peer (confidentiality)

- ✅ **ChaCha20Poly1305** AEAD encryption (cipher strength)

- ✅ **Replay protection** (nonce cache + timestamp window)

- ✅ **Persistent node identity** (survives restarts)


### Networking

- ✅ **Automatic discovery** (UDP broadcast)

- ✅ **Self-healing** (suspect → offline transitions)

- ✅ **Score-based leader election** (epoch-protected)

- ✅ **Real Wi-Fi RSSI** (Termux:API integration)

- ✅ **Async/await native** (high concurrency)


### User Experience

- ✅ **Live terminal dashboard** (throughput, latency, RSSI, scores)

- ✅ **Interactive messaging** (broadcast chat)

- ✅ **Graceful shutdown** (Ctrl+C cleanup)

- ✅ **Structured logging** (debug-friendly)


## Architecture


```

Razor-Mesh Network

├── Node A (Leader)

│   ├── RazorLink Protocol (Ed25519 + X25519 + ChaCha20Poly1305)

│   ├── UDP Socket (broadcast + unicast)

│   ├── Health Monitor (score tracking)

│   └── Dashboard (real-time UI)

├── Node B (Peer)

│   └── [Same structure]

└── Node C (Peer)

    └── [Same structure]

```


## Performance


Tested on Android/Termux with 10+ simultaneous nodes:


| Metric | Result |

|--------|--------|

| **Discovery Time** | <500ms (broadcast) |

| **Leader Election** | <2s convergence |

| **Message Latency** | <50ms (local LAN) |

| **Throughput** | 100+ msg/sec |

| **Memory/Node** | ~5-10MB |

| **CPU (idle)** | <1% per node |


## Security Model


### Threat Model


```

TRUSTED: All peers in same network are trusted

UNTRUSTED: Network attacks (replay, spoofing)

DESIGNED FOR: Private networks, IoT mesh, emergency comms

```


### Known Limitations (v5.2)


- ⚠️ **No mutual authentication** (assumes network boundary security)

- ⚠️ **Basic rate limiting** (expandable for DoS)

- ⚠️ **No forward secrecy** (keys persistent across sessions)

- ⚠️ **No key rotation** (planned for v6.0)


### Roadmap (v6.0)


- [ ] Mutual peer authentication

- [ ] Known-peers whitelist

- [ ] Per-session key rotation

- [ ] Forward secrecy (double ratchet)

- [ ] DoS hardening (token bucket)

- [ ] Private/targeted messages (by node ID)


## Examples


### Example 1: Simple Broadcast


```python

import asyncio

from razor_mesh.core import RazorMeshNetwork


async def main():

    mesh = RazorMeshNetwork(port=4445, broadcast_port=4446)

    await mesh.start()

    

    # Broadcast every 5 seconds

    for i in range(10):

        await mesh.broadcast(f"Message {i}")

        await asyncio.sleep(5)


asyncio.run(main())

```


### Example 2: Listening for Messages


```python

async for msg in mesh.listen():

    print(f"From {msg.node_id}: {msg.content}")

    print(f"  RSSI: {msg.rssi} dBm")

    print(f"  Latency: {msg.latency_ms} ms")

```


### Example 3: Custom Protocol Extension


```python

from razor_mesh.protocol.razorlink import RazorLink


# Create custom protocol

link = RazorLink()

frame = link.create_frame(

    message_type="custom",

    payload=b"my data",

    signature_key=my_ed25519_key

)


# Send over your transport

await sock.sendto(frame, ("192.168.1.255", 4446))

```

## Security Considerations


### What Razor-Mesh Protects Against


✅ **Eavesdropping** (ChaCha20Poly1305 encryption)  

✅ **Spoofing** (Ed25519 signatures)  

✅ **Replay attacks** (nonce cache + timestamp window)  

✅ **Tampering** (AEAD authentication tags)  

✅ **Key compromise detection** (persistent node IDs)  


### What Razor-Mesh Does NOT Protect Against


❌ **Node compromise** (if node is stolen, all is lost)  

❌ **Network-level attacks** (assumes trusted network boundary)  

❌ **DoS attacks** (basic rate limiting only)  

❌ **Insider threats** (all peers trusted by design)  

❌ **Passive timing attacks** (not hardened against)  


### Known Limitations


1. **No Forward Secrecy** — Past messages exposed if current keys compromised

2. **No Key Rotation** — Keys persistent across sessions (planned v6.0)

3. **No Mutual Authentication** — Assumes network boundary security

4. **No PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy)** — Planned for v6.0 with double ratchet


### Recommendations for Production Use


1. Deploy in **trusted network boundaries** (VPN, isolated LAN, etc.)

2. **Monitor node health** (offline nodes = potential compromise)

3. **Use TLS/VPN** if crossing untrusted networks

4. **Rotate keys periodically** (manual, until v6.0)

5. **Audit logs** for anomalous message patterns


### Dependencies & CVEs


**cryptography** — Actively maintained, no known CVEs  

**Python 3.10+** — Security patches applied


Monitor for updates:

```bash

pip list --outdated

pip-audit

```


### Testing & Auditing


- ✅ Unit tests cover all crypto operations

- ✅ Integration tests on real networks (Termux, LAN)

- ⏳ Third-party audit planned for v6.0


## Version History

# ❌ Bad

async def broadcast(self, message):

    pass

```


### Docstrings


```python

def score_node(self, node: RazorNode, rssi: int) -> float:

    """

    Calculate leadership score for a node.

    

    Args:

        node: Node to score

        rssi: Signal strength (dBm)

    

    Returns:

        Leadership score (0-100)

    

    Raises:

        ValueError: If rssi out of range

    """

```


### Naming


- Classes: `PascalCase` (e.g., `RazorMeshNetwork`)

- Functions: `snake_case` (e.g., `broadcast_message`)

- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g., `MAX_RETRIES`)

- Private: `_leading_underscore` (e.g., `_setup_socket`)


## Testing
