cryptalk

Cyptalk is a HTML5/Node.js based encrypted instant chat

Features

  • Client side AES-256-CBC encryption/decryption (the server is just a messenger)
  • 256 bit key derived from your passphrase using PBKDF2
  • Optional nicknames
  • Random (UUID v4) channel name generation för less guessability
  • Quick-links (not recommended) using http://server/#Room:Passphrase
  • Super simple setup
  • Notification sounds (mutable)
  • Flashing title on new messages
