<h2>Third Year Project</h2>
<p>
My third year dissertation was a research/design/build project investigating the use of RSA keys and a web-of-trust to provide
simple and secure yet password-less and zero-configuration file sharing between users located on the same network segment.
</p>
<p>
The source code is currently archived on CD, but I will attempt to locate and upload a copy of the version control repository in due course.
In the meantime, for anyone who might be interested in the rationale, design decisions and implementation detail, please see the
<a href="{$base_uri}files/3yp/project-report.pdf" title="RSDSS Post Project Report">post-project report</a>.
</p>
<h3>Releases</h3>
