endra 0.1.1

A fully distributed, no-servers, peer-to-peer encrypted messaging protocol.

Endra

A fully distributed, no-servers, peer-to-peer encrypted messaging protocol.

See the EndraApp project for a GUI messaging application for desktop and mobile implementing Endra.

Features

• fully peer to peer, no servers of any kind
• can work independently of the internet
• full end-to-end encryption
• ephemeral cryptography
• multiple devices per profile (i.e. user account)
• multiple profiles per device
• application for desktop and mobile (tested on Linux (Ubuntu x86-64) and Android (arm-64))
• can be used as a library for embedding into other applications
• implements W3C's DID standard
• will become part of an expandable ecosystem incl. calendar and file-sharing

Disadvantages

• higher resource usage on user devices compared to conventional messengers

Project Status EXPERIMENTAL

This library is very early in its development.

The API of this library IS LIKELY TO CHANGE in the near future!
