simple encrypted chatroom

CryptoNeko Chatroom

Another experimental secure messaging application. Loosely based on the original cryptocat web client. Uses js-nacl and js-scrypt javascript libraries to provide message encryption. May be suitable for situations where a low security but easy to use communications channel is needed, such as arguing about which secure messaging app to set up. This is a learning project and I make no guarantees about its security.

Design

• simple to setup multiuser chatroom with password based symettric encryption
• in memory messages persistence with circular buffers (no database)
• full async web server with websockets and tornado (scalable, responsive)

Setup

pip install tornado 
python tornado-chat.py

Can be accessed at default port 3000 on localhost. Set up on your hosting service of choice or run as a tor hidden service.
