iroh seems to have a couple of "killer tools" already, known as dumbpipe[0] and sendme[1].

Although I am concerned that while dumbpipe does mention cryptography, sendme's webpage makes no mention of it (?).

It's using the same transport. Basically sendme is like dumbpipe, but adds blake3 verified streaming from the iroh-bytes crate for content-addressed data transport.

I imagined as much, but the website does still not mention encryption.

Which works against it. E2EE is a requirement today.

Thanks for letting us know. We will add a section about encryption.

These tiny tools are basically one week projects to show off the tech, but they try to be useful on it's own as well.
