Beacon is a privacy and security-oriented browser with the aim of revolutionizing traditional certificate authorities through the implementation of decentralized peer-to-peer naming systems, DNSSEC, and DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE).
- We utilize a lightweight peer-to-peer client that seamlessly connects to the Handshake network and synchronizes block headers within seconds.
- Featuring on-device DNSSEC validation, Beacon eliminates the need to rely on external resolvers. Furthermore, the browser abstains from centralized DNSSEC signing keys and instead validates proofs from the Handshake network.
- Empower your device with encrypted DNS support incorporating Handshake naming compatibility. Through Handshake's interconnection with other systems like Ethereum via HIP-5, Beacon facilitates access to such domains as humbly.eth or impervious.forever.
- Identify websites secured by decentralized DNS-Based Authentication by seeking out the "Secured by Handshake" mark.
- Beacon is an open-source platform! Feel free to provide feedback, contribute, and report bugs or issues via: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon-ios
