## Basics:
-UDP most be used for everything simply because you can't do hole punching with TCP (well you can but it doesn't work all the time)

-Every peer is represented as a byte string (the client id) (it is the hash (SHA-256 ?) of the public key of the peer). (if you want to add someone you need that id (either ask that person directly or maybe through some kind of search engine?))

-Once the client has the ip of that peer they start initiating a secure connection with each other.(asymmetric encryption(RSA?) is used to encrypt the session keys for the symmetric(AES?) encryption so that they are exchanged securely)
(We can't use public key encryption for everything it's too fucking slow) man in the middle attacks are avoided because the id is the hash of the public key (the client can be sure it's legit.)
