Phaedra
Platform
Android.
About
Phaedra was an experimental project to write a Gemini Protocolclient that’d run on the oldest Android devices. It highlights the problems with using TLS in a permacomputing world, crypto suites become compromised and servers stop accepting insecure methods.
Before the Conscrypt TLS library was added it was a 55Kb binary, no other dependencies were used, so it was also an experiment in creating an Android app without the modern dependencies we’ve grown to depend on.
