Identity-based network

Auranet

Auranet is the network for ACID identities, encrypted messaging, relays, and service connections that need to keep the same identity even when the route changes.

Core promise

Identity stays stable while transport changes.

Auranet separates identity from IP address and gives services a consistent way to encrypt traffic, route through relays, and keep session meaning attached to an ACID instead of a single socket endpoint.

ACID addressing

Permanent ACIDs identify a user, server, or relay. Temporary ACIDs scope live sessions without exposing the long-term identity on every hop.

Encrypted messaging

Shared-key and private-key exchange modes let teams choose between trusted-subnet throughput and point-to-point isolation.

Network components

The same network model supports central registration, relays, peer messaging, and products such as AetherGate.

Flow

From identity registration to active session routing.

Register

A client, relay, or service registers a permanent ACID through the Auranet registry and persists the identity for later reuse.

Establish session scope

Temporary ACIDs define the live exchange boundary so a connection can move, relay, or expire independently of the permanent identity.

Route and encrypt

Messages move over Auranet UDP or stream wrappers with authenticated encryption and protocol-level message metadata.

In the suite

Auranet is the network layer behind other services.

The public site explains the network and protocol. Product sign-in, downloads, and support stay with the product that uses Auranet. AetherGate, for example, is published at aethergate.auranet.host rather than being blended into the Auranet network pages.

Auranet central  -> identity registration and discovery
Auranet relay    -> reachability and transit
Auranet client   -> peer messaging and session setup
AetherGate       -> VPN product built on Auranet identity and transport

Product boundary

Auranet pages stay focused on the network.

RUReady uses Auranet as the identity network behind selected products. These pages stay focused on addressing, encrypted transport, relays, and product handoffs so visitors can understand what Auranet provides without sorting through deployment details.
