Minecraft Item Transfer Protocol (MITP)

🔎 Overview

Minecraft Item Transfer Protocol (MITP) is a high-performance communication protocol designed to handle item data transfers and general communication in Minecraft, optimized for both asynchronous communication and secure data transmission. This protocol implements advanced cryptographic techniques (AES-128, SHA-256, HMAC) and supports compression via Huffman coding, ensuring efficient and secure data exchanges.

⚙️ Features

• AES-128 Encryption: Uses Rijndael encryption for secure data transmission.
• SHA-256 Hashing: Ensures message integrity with SHA-256 signatures.
• HMAC: Provides additional message authentication.
• Compression: Implements Huffman coding for data compression.
• TCP-like Communication: Emulates a reliable TCP connection for sending and receiving data.
• Asynchronous Communication: Supports non-blocking communication to improve performance.
• Event-driven Architecture: Flexible event handling system to manage different communication events.

✅ RoadMap

Short-Term (1-2 months)

Goal: Improve asynchronous communication and add HMAC.

• Actions:
  • Refine the asynchronous event system.
  • Implement the HMAC (Hashed Message Authentication Code) algorithm to ensure message integrity and authenticity.
  • Optimize the efficiency of the asynchronous message flow.
  • Perform stability tests with different data loads.
