# CONIKS Go
[](https://travis-ci.org/coniks-sys/coniks-go)

## Overview
CONIKS is a key management system that provides transparency and privacy
for end-user public keys.
CONIKS protects end-to-end encrypted communications against malicious or
compromised communication providers and surveillance by storing users'
encryption keys in tamper-evident and publicly auditable
key directories on the server side.
This allows messaging clients to verify the identity of
users automatically, and prevents malicious/compromised servers from
hijacking secure communications without getting caught.
This repository provides a [Golang](https://golang.org) implementation of the
CONIKS system. The implementation consists of a library, described in the
following section, a standalone CONIKS-server and -client, and a registration
proxy using this library.
## Golang Library
The packages in this library implement the various components of the CONIKS
system and may be imported individually.
- `application`: CONIKS application-layer library.
- `cli`: CONIKS command-line tools (registration bots, key server, and test client).
- `crypto`: Cryptographic algorithms and operations
- `merkletree`: Merkle prefix tree and related data structures
- `utils`: Utility functions
- `protocol`: CONIKS protocols implementation/library
- `storage`: Hooks for persistent storage backend (currently unused)
## Installation
You need to have [Golang](https://golang.org/doc/install) version 1.9 or higher installed.
If Golang is set up correctly, you can simply run:
```
go get github.com/coniks-sys/coniks-go/...
```
For usage instructions, see the documentation in their respective packages: [CONIKS-server](cli/coniksserver), a
simple command-line [client](cli/coniksclient), and the [registration-proxy](cli/coniksbot).
## Disclaimer
Please keep in mind that this CONIKS library is under active development.
The repository may contain experimental features that aren't fully tested.
We recommend using a [tagged release](https://github.com/coniks-sys/coniks-go/releases).
