"This project will offer the means for anyone to create and deploy
network scalable and secure VoIP/collaboration solution to enable
privacy without the need for a central service provider or proprietary
software to achieve these goals. Our overall vision is to facilitate
both solutions that are privately built, such as for organizations
that wish to have secure communication as a foundation, and especially
which can be autonomously assembled over the public Internet as a full
public alternative to Skype using only free software and that depends
purely on existing DNS for user lookup, rather than a service
provider, and eliminates the use of source secret clients which can of
course be compromised."
