java for front end? swing?

maybe javascript?

Ai Charbots teach all these languages and scripts.

this forum is so disappointing. I thought i could come her and collaborate.

this area looks like it's been dead for years. I've been working on a project since last summer and probably could've finished months ago if this forums was still poppin.

can you collab without sharing too much info?

i suspect that most people who could contribute are really busy.

from my experience there are not many devs on here. it seems as if the majority of those use Js/Node guys and that's your area, is it not?

It's a desktop software application. I'm working on the windows version. It started as a simple data deletion tool. But now it's a full fledged security software suite that will have

Encrypted Email Client
Anti Forensic File Deletion Tool
AES File Encryption/Decryption Tool
Encrypted P2P file sharing.


The Email encryption is unique and uses an algorithm I invented. It's keyless and serverless. (Although it does use the server to transport parts of the encrypted message). It's basically allows people to send encrypted messages that can't be traced. And you can use any email account to do it. It would take NSA level intel to crack and even with that effort, it would still be close to impossible. And nothing hits the email service provider servers. And it doesn't use PGP or any other traditional encryption techniques. Once I have an MVP I'm going to file a patent on the algorithm.

Most of the heavy lifting is done.

What did you want to do on here? Brainstorm? Find a dev/devs? Find investment? Are you looking for comments/suggestions/critiques?

Initially, it was to help pick a tech stack. Then it was to get feedback on email encryption in general. the pros/cons etc. Then it was help developing a new algorithm. I resolved all of that. Hopefully, I will be able to launch a beta version in January/February.
Cost is another question, I haven't resolved yet. How much should I charge. And the thing I found about email encryption is that most apps aren't based in the US due to Government restrictions. I learned about Lavabit for example which is what Edward Snowden used. He ended up shutting it down because he didn't want to give up any information.
My solution solves Lavabit's conundrum. I thought about trying to find a VC interest, but I don't know if this is something that would be viable.

No offense but it uses an encryption algorithm that you invented? What are your credentials? Most secure emails are encrypted with AES-256 which is battle tested. Why do you think your algorithm is uncrackable? There are teams of researchers out there attempting to come up with new encryption algorithms everyday but you say yours requires NSA level intel to crack? What leads you to those conclusions?

Um.. basic math. it has too many layers and too many combinations. For starters, you can't detect it. So if i send you an encrypted email, the first thing authorities or adversaries are gonna wanna look is the server. It doesn't leave anything on the email server or no metadata. All encryption email clients basically gives away the element of stealth because you know it's encrypted.

SO part of what makes this unique is that he looks and works like a normal email client and it allows users to send/receive encrypted messages undetected.

In order to truly crack it, you would literally need the sender or receivers copy of the software and their login's.

Right now I'm trying to make it so that even if you have the source code to the algorithm, you still can't beat it.

The only credentials, I have is I've been working on this for almost 2 years. The technology I use currently exists, but it hasn't been used in the same way I'm using it.

Ok.

Have you specified what it would take to take your beta to a fully working app + infrastructure?

This is for the East NSF I-Corps Hub: Mid-Atlantic Region but there are other regional ones.

also HBCU's / PWI's are trying to monazite software these days so maybe a word there .. with someone reputable.

EDIT: my mistake !

I think he is using AES as-is but without traditional key exchange (so independent generation) and that is the part that he has invented. Also the stuff to get around legal restrictions.

Inference by virtue of what has been proven about the libs/algs he is using (not developed).

I agree that it might be useful to get a security expert to have a look at his system.

And then another to look at his infrastructure.

Ok.

The Beta will be me launching the site with the Windows version. It would leave Beta after maybe a month or two depending on how many test users I get and the feedback provided. Then the Mac OS version (i don't think it will take that long).

After that I want to build a mobile app version. I would prefer to build native versions for iOS and Android.

seeds i guess. calculable, transient and in memory .. but replayable. you have login, machine specifics, password ..

secure deletion is problematic on macs with SSD's. they get around that concern with disk encryption.
