Delta Chat: e-mail based messaging, the Rustocalypse and UX driven approach [YBTI/wefixthenet session] (36c3)


Jan 02 2020 33 mins   21
Delta Chat is an e-mail instant messenger that is just becoming available on all platforms. Unlike other offerings, Delta Chat is no platform and operates no own servers. Instead it uses existing SMTP/IMAP servers to send and receive messages. We'll talk about the current development status on all platforms, our new Rust-core based approach, our decentralized e2e-encryption facilities (not requiring keyservers, and safe against active attacks) and how we are generally driving developments from UX and security perspectives. We also aim to showcase "burner accounts", a new concept that we are developing and discussing with activists in eastern european countries and asian cities. about this event: https://talks.oio.social/36c3-oio/talk/WSLWVM/
