unmessage 0.1.1

unMessage

unMessage is a peer-to-peer instant messaging application designed to enhance privacy and anonymity.

Features

• Transport makes use of Twisted, Tor Onion Services and txtorcon

• Encryption is performed using the Double Ratchet Algorithm implemented in pyaxo (using PyNaCl)

• Authentication makes use of the Socialist Millionaire Protocol implemented in Cryptully

• Transport metadata is minimized by Tor and application metadata by the unMessage protocol

• User interfaces are created with Tkinter (graphical) and curses (command-line)
