Ciphora
A decentralized end-to-end encrypted messaging app.
A peer-to-peer end-to-end encrypted messaging app. Implements the secure [signal
protocol](https://signal.org/docs/specifications/doubleratchet/) for the
end-to-end encryption of messages and
[PGP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy) for identity
verification and authentication. This approach not only protects against
[man-in-the-middle
attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack) but removes the
need for in-person verification like with other E2E encryption apps (WhatsApp,
Signal,...) where identity keypairs are generated on a per-device basis and each
has to be verified manually in-person.

## Install
_macOS 10.10+, Linux, and Windows 7+ are supported (64-bit only)._
**macOS**
[**Download**](https://github.com/hr/ciphora/releases/latest) the `.dmg` file.
**Linux**
[**Download**](https://github.com/hr/ciphora/releases/latest) the `.AppImage` or `.deb` file.
_The AppImage needs to be [made executable](http://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-make-an-appimage-executable/80) after download._
**Windows**
[**Download**](https://github.com/hr/ciphora/releases/latest) the `.exe` file.
## Dev
Needs the Ciphora Server as well (https://github.com/HR/ciphora-server/)
### Setup
Clone the repos
```
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/HR/ciphora.git
$ git clone https://github.com/HR/ciphora-server.git
```
Install deps for both repos
```
$ yarn
```
### Run
For faster dev, run the bundler (webpack)
```
$ yarn run bundler
```
In a new tty, run the app
```
$ gulp
```
To test the app locally with another app, just run a second instance in a new
tty
```
$ gulp
```
N.B. on macOS, you may be prompted to allow incoming connections everytime you
run it. Unfortunately the only way to make that go away currently is to disable
your firewall temporarily.
### Publish
```
$ npm run release
```
After Travis finishes building your app, open the release draft it created and
click "Publish".
