6 years ago it is currently possible to use the PANDA protocol with the Katzenpost mix network system. there are some dev branches that are required for this because the current status is "NOT YET MERGED, NEED CODE REVIEW". the following repos:
- server - https://github.com/katzenpost/server/pull/63
- client - https://github.com/katzenpost/client/pull/35
- panda - https://github.com/katzenpost/panda/pull/1
- tools - https://github.com/katzenpost/tools/pull/11
I have tested this panda client and server using a mixnet running locally on my laptop. Works fine.
PANDA - Phrase Automated Nym Discovery Authentication, PANDA is very well suited as an auto-responder service (kaetzchen); it is essentially a PAKE variation involving an intermediary server such that the two authenticating parties do not have to be online at the same time.
