Bored on holidays or miss Omegle? Come chat with us on MeroChat!
It’s a web based random chat where you’re presented with a flow of user profiles, whom you can choose to chat with. And of course someone else might find you the same way and send you a message out of the blue (provided your privacy settings allow it).
And here’s the code. (Written in PureScript!) A lot remains to be done but it’s a joyful thing already.
That does seem reasonable, but it doesn’t solve the trust issue. The server might always send a modified script that just uploads the plaintext private key.
That said it would still be useful in other ways. Like in a breach the data would be secure.
Yeah, you’d need a way to validate the client code before it’s executed to solve that issue
Section “2. Client application security” of MEGA’s Security Whitepaper discusses this exact problem. Their best solution to that issue is to just cram the whole frontend in a signed web extension and not serve any code to the user when the extension is active, which is not very user friendly but works for those who want an extra layer of protection
I just can’t find a good user-friendly implementation, sorry for not being of more help. The web just isn’t E2EE-friendly ig :/
You’ve helped enough :)
Hmmm I see.
We have an app in the making, so I guess we will eventually implement proper e2ee there and then just try our best in the browser.
Damn already working on an app? That’s so cool! Starting E2EE there is definitely a good idea then!
MeroChat is such a nice project, thank you for working on it <3
