im aiming to make a chat app secure as theorhetically possible as a webapp. for transparency its open source. id like the experience to be as close to possible to a regular chat app. its important to note; there are limitation with p2p and webapps such that messages cant be sent if the peer isnt connected.

to keep this post brief, please take a look at the readme. it has all the information and links.

i dont think its ready to replace any app or service, but id love to get feedback on what you think would make it so you would use it more than once.

If you really want folks to have a go at it, add the phrase "military grade encryption" to the readme. That'll trigger a lot of folks' Google Alerts and you'll get the eyes on your code you're looking for.

Thanks for the tip. WebRTC is using aes-128, I see in my code I'm using RSA. It sounds like a good idea like to create a cascading cypher with aes-256 which seems to be regarded as "military grade" (but it seems there is no official spec definition for this).
