Public Network: Conclusion and Future Plans
How Staex makes certificate-based trust and end-to-end encryption the default, and what's next.
Overview#
Staex public network is a zero-trust network that is the backbone for the today's demand of the Internet of Things. Prohibiting any communication by default and any direct communication in principle is paradoxical for something that we call "a network", however, resource-constrained IoT devices and legacy protocols can not be safely used over the modern Internet. Staex makes certificate-based trust and end-to-end encryption the default for any protocol whether it is legacy or modern.
We plan to update our built-in DNS to work properly in public network (it was designed to work in a network with single owner), and enable endpoint-based security (per-endpoint private keys and trust) with the release of Staex v2.
