i’ve been working on this for a bit, finally got a proof of concept worked out with a desktop app. would love some feedback, mostly on the concept and protocol.

it hasn’t been security audited so don’t use it for anything crazy.

i started a (very niche) private messaging protocol & little CLI app demo. i’m no security expert, so any feedback or questions would be appreciated.

the gist is an ephemeral message exchange without identities. the goal is ultimate deniability.

the interesting (and weird) part is that messages are encrypted but not authenticated. this means an imposter could show up if they know the shared secret. otoh this means you can deny anything you say.
