#CRYPTOCAT SECURITY HOW TO#
We want to break down the barrier that prevents the general public from having an accessible privacy alternative that they already know how to use. It aims to make encrypted, private chat easy to use and accessible.
So, what it the true goal? Here is a snippet of their readme, which (kinda) lays out the goal:Ĭryptocat is an experimental browser-based chat client for easy to use, encrypted conversations.
is a crucible in it we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product: the truth, for all time. The topic of goals led to an interesting discussion – to what standard is Cryptocat being held? Perhaps, just perhaps – the unforgivable security failures of Cryptocat are only so unforgivable because of the bar it’s being measured against. Yesterday I talked to Nadim Kobeissi for about an hour about Cryptocat, its policies, practices, successes, failures, and goals. What is the measure of a man what makes one great, and another lesser? What separates success from failure? We all recognize light from dark, but at which point does it go from one to another? If we ask if a person (or company, or product) is successful – do we measure them against their closest competitor, their nearest neighbor, or perhaps the most successful person we know? Where, and how, do you set that bar to measure against?
