The protocol is described in detail in my Seminar paper.

\section{Goal}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the moment, there aren't many implementations apart from the official clients. Especially two things are missing: a multi purpose Java library and a usable mobile client. My goal for my \textit{Project 2} is to create the library, to be used next semester as a starting point for an Android\textsuperscript{\texttrademark} client in my Bachelor Thesis.

\subsection{Unsigned Numbers}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Java doesn't support unsigned number types. While Java 8 has some helper classes to address this issue, my goal is to support Java 7, which is needed for Android development, so I wasn't able to leverage them.

\subsection{Proof of Work}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Proof of work is needed for a message to be distributed within the Bitmessage network. This is to protect both the network itself from denial of service attacks and the users from spam.

\subsection{Ports and Adapters}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The library uses a ports and adapters architecture, which allows us to easily replace some implementations that might be platform dependent, such as storage or proof of work calculation.

|
The big advantage of this approach is that it's easy to test the core as well as each adapter by itself.
