The Signal Protocol in Rust

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #Nodejs limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my series of #P2P messaging projects.

Protocol Demo:
https://signal.positive-intentions.com/

P2P Messaging roadmap:
https://glitr.io/docs/technical/roadmap

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.

End-to-end encrypted relays for OCapN https://spritely.institute/news/end-to-end-encrypted-relays-for-ocapn.html

Federated, end-to-end encrypted relaying comes to Spritely Goblins and the OCapN protocol! Relays are federated (like email or ActivityPub) but don't know anything about the contents of communication between users!

This is the latest version of the P2P messaging project. It’s a fairly a unique stack and architecture in contrast to the traditional approach with mainstream messaging apps. To put it briefly, its a Rust-based frontend with a Git-server backend, which can be used to establish a E2EE connection.

Features:

No installation
No registration
PWA
Android
TUI
WebRTC
Tor routing
TURN server
Git-host backend
Local-first
Encrypted-at-rest
Signal protocol
Post Quantum cryptography
Calls
File-transfer

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it’s a work-in-progress and far from finished. It is unreviewed and unaudited. I’m sharing here for testing, feedback and demo purposes only. Pease use it responsibly.

@retro @cypherpunk The only #p2p browser I know of still being developed is @agregore by @mauve

For example Beaker Browser and Impervious Browser seem to have been shelved several years hence.

Are there any other peer-to-peer browsers worth inspection?

WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

App: https://Enkrypted.Chat

"Secure and private" is the general goal.

This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

Features:

* P2P
* End to end encryption
* Signal protocol
* Post-Quantum cryptography
* File transfer
* Local-first
* No registration
* No installation
* No database
* TURN server

Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.

We wrote an honest comparison of Zerion against Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema, Wire, Session, Cwtch and Tox.

Honest meaning: Signal gets credit for pioneering post-quantum key exchange, Cwtch is genuinely close in spirit, and each app is the right call for some threat model.

Where Zerion stands alone: post-quantum encryption on every single message, and everything (including calls) over Tor.

Building secure peer-to-peer messaging apps is tough, and it's even tougher to get people to switch from what they already use. I've noticed that a great user interface and an intuitive design often matter more to people than terms like cryptography or end-to-end encryption.

That's why I've started building a UI library to tackle this head-on! It's a work in progress, but the goal is to create a more welcoming and seamless experience for new users.

Check out the UI library here: https://ui.positive-intentions.com

And you can see a live demo of the UI in action here: https://glitr.positive-intentions.com

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback as I continue to shape it!

I figured out several ways to run DarkMX on a headless server without GUI. This allows me to install it on a remote server without any desktop environment and run the software as a daemon without the GUI.

First I used the X forwarding feature of SSH to pipe the GUI to a local machine. On that machine I did all the configuration inside the GUI. Then I closed the program.

Then on the remote machine I used 'xvfb' to run DarkMX as a nohup'd daemon with a dummy GUI buffer. That way I don't need to be connected to the GUI from a local machine and the application will still run. It also uses less RAM without the GUI.

There are other ways to do this, such as VNC and xpra. I just chose the quickest, dirtiest method in this case.

Why would I go to all that trouble? Well, I don't need to, but there are some people who might need to publish while maintaining strict anonymity. So they would need tools like DarkMX and TOR. For me it's just fun.

DarkMX operates over the TOR privacy preserving network. As a result the location of my peer is hidden and extremely hard to impossible for an adversary to locate. So when I publish something, such as a letter, or paper, or opinion, anyone can download it since censoring it is not viable. It ensures that my speech remains free and available to the general public. Now when I author essays, papers, homiles and such, I can publish them as file shares, and I can publish them simultaneously as a TOR hidden website with the built-in webserver feature. So readers don't need DarkMX to read my files--they can just fire up TOR Browser or use a TOR proxy with their web browser. If they want to snarf a whole directory they can install DarkMX, or use a script to snarf them via TOR.

If you are inclined to fiddle around with installing this software on a headless server, please share the techniques and tools used that suit you.

DarkMX is the continuation of WinMX. It is a peer-to-peer network with built-in web sites, file sharing, chat, all secured over the anonymous TOR protocol.

DarkMX and its predecessor have over 20 years of battle hardening. Run in a jail or container, it is a set it and and forget it way to ensure your data is made available to the network 24/7.
