Cryptocat – Open Source App For Encrypted & Private Chats
18
Aug
Cryptocat is an open source and web-based chat application that focuses on making sure that the communication is encrypted and private.
It is built with PHP and works with a single file besides the static files (CSS, JS and images) used.
The interface is simple-yet-nice and messages are encrypted with AES-256 using crypto.js library.
For a private group communication inside a chat room with other users, a passkey (used by all of the group) comes to the rescue.
Also, for paranoid users, there is Cryptocat Verifier, a Chrome extension which verifies that your Cryptocat session is not serving you modified JavaScript code.

I love the fact that in the screenshot Mongoose replied accurately to a message he shouldn’t have been able to see. Are You *sure* it’s secure?
@Matt,
The pink icon besides messages show that they are not encrypted.
any one used it?is it secure?
