By using torrent-style DHT, peers can find the IP of other peers by using their Tox ID. Once the IP is obtained, peers can initiate a [secure](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/wiki/Crypto) connection with each other. Once the connection is made, peers can exchange messages, send files, start video chats, etc. using encrypted communications. +Every peer is represented as a [byte string][String] (the public key [Tox ID] of the peer).
