cryptography (noun). The discipline concerned with communication security (eg, confidentiality of messages, integrity of messages, sender authentication, non-repudiation of messages, and many other related issues), regardless of the used medium such as pencil and paper or computers.

This community is for links about and discussion of cryptography specifically. For privacy technology more generally, use !privacy.

This community is explicitly not about cryptocurrency; see !crypto for that.

in my messaging app, javascript cryptography is the backbone of security so its important for it to be reliable. i would like to introduce you to my decentralized chat app:

https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat

i created thin wrapper around browser-based cryptography functions provided by the browser. it is using webpack 5 module federation to import it at runtime.

https://github.com/positive-intentions/cryptography/blob/staging/src/stories/components/Cryptography.tsx

with this i think i can effectively create encrypted p2p, which i hope to be a step towards true security (but it will take a while to get there).

(note: my app is an experimental unstable proof-of-concept. it is provided for demo and testing purposes.)

Bookmarked and will revisit when work isn’t so crazy. Looks interesting!
