  Description     : Node to Node Copy for secure store-and-forward online and offline file and mail exchange

NNCP is a package facilitating secure store-and-forward file and mail
exchange.  It can be thought of as a modern UUCP with Internet smarts.

NNCP supports direct online communication over a LAN or Internet,
scheduled communication, offline copies, streaming communication
(pipes), and more.  It can therefore be used for air-gapped computers
that might be communicated with by CD-ROM, tape, or USB stick.  It can
also be used for intermittent or on-demand links, very slow or high
latency links, etc.

Like UUCP, NNCP supports routing messages via intermediate systems.
With NNCP, however, all packets are end-to-end encrypted and
authenticated, making this more proper onion routing -- the
intermediate systems have no visibility to the content of the data
being passed.  NNCP also has robust tools for interrupted transfer
resumption, handling of very large files, and verifying integrity of
data copied off.
