The Signal Protocol in Rust
TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #Nodejs limitations of the official library.
I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.
My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my series of #P2P messaging projects.
Protocol Demo:

P2P Messaging roadmap:

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.

@xoron@infosec.exchange Well I'm on the dev side and I have one piece of feedback currently: ban ai. Anyone who cares about privacy and/or security won't use anything that allows ai slopware contributions, cause what's going to have a higher likelyhood of bad code being included: a human trying their best or a program that outputs the statistically next most likely token from a sea of public code

@xoron@infosec.exchange AGPL and no Claude commits 👏 STRIKE THAT, IT IS AI SLOP
