Cyberia & Wired Protocol

A secure, decentralized operating system and network layer built on Wired — a custom, high-performance communication protocol. Instead of HTTP, it uses a mutually encrypted TCP handshake and AES-encrypted WebSocket payloads for ultimate data secrecy.

Languages

Performance & metrics

  • Zero HTTP overhead
  • Memory-safe concurrent connections via Rust
  • High-concurrency asynchronous I/O (Boost.Asio)
  • Low-latency payload encryption

Why I built it

Standard HTTP protocols leave massive metadata trails and are vulnerable to traffic analysis, making true privacy nearly impossible on the modern web. I needed a completely isolated, decentralized space where communication couldn't be easily tracked, analyzed, or intercepted by third parties — a stealthy, high-speed channel where privacy and data integrity are prioritized at the raw socket level. Cyberia was born as a counter-culture to the mainstream web.

Architecture & decisions

Cyberia's core network layer is written in Rust for memory safety and concurrency, while C++ handles deep system-level integrations; Tauri provides a minimal, lightweight UI without the overhead of Electron. Underneath sits the Wired Protocol, developed purely in C++ with Boost.Asio for asynchronous I/O and Boost.Beast for WebSocket integration. Instead of standard TLS/HTTP, Wired establishes connections through a custom mutual cryptographic handshake (AES/RSA), and all subsequent payloads are AES-encrypted. It is currently integrated with HTTP/1, with HTTP/2 infrastructure in active development.

Technical review

This project represents my vision of what a truly private network should look like. It strips away the bloat of the modern web, focusing solely on secure, byte-level data transmission. A working demo of the protocol establishing encrypted peer-to-peer tunnels can be provided upon request.
