Mathematical Mesh 3.0 Part V: Protocol Reference
draft-hallambaker-mesh-protocol-07
Abstract
The Mathematical Mesh 'The Mesh' is an end-to-end secure
infrastructure that facilitates the exchange of configuration and
credential data between multiple user devices. The core protocols of
the Mesh are described with examples of common use cases and
reference data.
