Considerations of Peer-to-Peer Communication 🔗

Layer5 Cloud offers central coordination for real-time user presence and its multi-player experience and does so by propagating document (e.g. designs, views, and so on) updates peer-to-peer to all users using WebRTC. This allows for real-time collaboration without the need for a central server. The signaling server is only used to establish the initial connection between peers. The signaling server does not have access to the content of the document.

Layer5 Cloud offers a built-in identity provider (IDP), supporting OIDC for normal users and token-based authentication (access, ID, refresh tokens) for API clients with JSON Web Signature (JWS) for token signing. Layer5 Cloud users can sign-up via email and password in addition to social identity providers (Google and GitHub) via OAuth2. See Getting Started with a Layer5 Account for details.

Layer5 Cloud identity services include features such as account recovery, email verification, automatica social sign-in account linking, and multi-factor authentication (coming soon).
