01 · Overview

Home hosting with explicit delivery evidence

SafeDrop runs from a home PC while it is online. It tries direct binding first, router mapping second, assisted connectivity third, and encrypted relay last. The selected path becomes part of the exported delivery record.

Deterministic manifests, append-only audit events, segment receipts, and readable evidence cards make delivery history available to both technical and non-technical users.

02 · Research

Reachability is part of the trust story

Home-hosted transfer does not have one stable network path. SafeDrop treats direct, mapped, assisted, and relayed delivery as different operational cases instead of reporting every successful transfer as equivalent.

The 50-track agenda groups future work around reachability, proofs, privacy, supply-chain trust, operability, and explanation.

Evidence boundary

The project currently presents an MVP baseline and a broad research roadmap. Individual tracks should not be read as completed or experimentally validated unless their project documentation says so.

Public project structure: 50 research tracks grouped into 6 research bundles.
