In this presentation we will introduce the Ring open distributed communication platform. We will present Ring features such as video calls and screen sharing. We will show you how Ring is capable of setting up a fully encrypted peer-to-peer communication using a distributed DHT network and the challenges we faced when building it. We will explain briefly what’s going on under the hood when a communication is established and how the trust chain is preserved. Finally we will talk about the future of Ring and exciting new features to come.
