Beat Chat Control with Nofuture (https://safecomms.virebent.art).

This Memguard-powered, post-quantum tool completely detaches encryption from mainstream apps. Encrypt your text outside the chat, then paste the ciphertext anywhere.

When the session ends, keys are permanently wiped from memory.

Try the public demo or self-host it for maximum OpSec.

A screenshot from the linked page (https://zeyus.neocities.org/dr13) It shows the text: Double ROT-13 Encryption ROT-13 is a special case of the Caesar cipher which was developed in ancient Rome, and used by Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13] ROT-13 helped Julius Caesar keep his secrets, but in our modern times non-rulers also have access to basic math and sometimes a calculator, making ROT-13 a little less secure. So, why not make it twice as strong by using a Double ROT-13 algorithm! Try it out for yourself below: [TEXT INPUT WITH VALUE: "Top Secret Code"] ROT13: Gbc Frperg Pbqr Double ROT13: Top Secret Code

Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

Experience the #Features:
* #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
* #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
* #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)
* #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
* #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
* #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
* #TURN server support for reliable connections

While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)
