Protocol Adapters
Protocol adapters allow GhostWire to bridge and interoperate with other mesh and secure messaging protocols.
What is a Protocol Adapter?
- A software module that translates messages and events between GhostWire and another protocol (e.g., Briar, Meshtastic, Matrix).
- Enables cross-network messaging, group chat, and file sharing.
Supported & Planned Adapters
| Adapter | Status | Notes / Features |
|---|---|---|
| Briar | Planned | Contact-based messaging, offline queuing, groups |
| Meshtastic | Planned | LoRa radio, store-and-forward, mesh relay |
| Matrix | Planned | Federation, bridges to IRC/XMPP, group chat |
| Bitchat | Planned | Simple mesh chat, proof-of-concept |
How Adapters Work
- Each adapter implements a common interface.
- Adapters can be enabled/disabled at runtime.
- Messages are translated, deduplicated, and relayed as needed.
- Adapters can bridge group chats, files, and metadata.
Architecture Notes
- Adapters run as part of the backend, in their own modules.
- Adapter logic is isolated for security and maintainability.
- Future adapters (e.g., Signal, Tox) can be added easily.
Future Plans
- Full-featured Matrix bridge for federation.
- Briar/Meshtastic integration for offline and long-range comms.
- Adapter SDK for third-party protocol support.
