TM3P - Tunes Mail-based Packet Publishing Protocol

The Tunes project will exchange packets by the currently only reliable messaging protocol that's universally available, Internet e-mail.

PGP authentification

Only PGP 2.6.3x is currently used for authentification of TM3P messages.

TM3P-pgp-tar-sh

Currently, only one mode exists for automated message, the unsecure backdoor that executes shell commands (well, not completely unsecure, since messages are PGP-signed). It is advised that commands be executed in restricted environments (something like USERNAME=tunes ; chroot ~tunes), though such thing is not implemented yet. Actually, this is just a very very preliminary protocol to get things going, and only very trusted people should be allowed to use the backdoor on any site. As Tunes grow, this protocol will be superceded by more secure ones.
To enable this protocol on your machine, see the bin/TUNESADM script in the tunesbin distribution...

Tunes Ring

The Tunes ring lists all people known to issue legal TM3P messages.
