Cryptochat basiert auf [cryptocat] (https://crypto.cat) und ermöglicht dir spontanes verschlüsseltes chatten ohne Einrichtung oder Installation. Es ist Open Source Software, und eine sichere Alternative zu Chatdiensten wie Google-Talk oder Facebook-Chat.

• A client-side 4096-bit Diffie-Hellman-Merkle public key agreement engine.
• A client-side AES-256 implementation is used to encrypt data.
• HMAC message integrity verification.
• The identity of chatters can be confirmed via key fingerprints, à la OTR.
• Uses the Fortuna secure pseudo-randomness generator.
• Send encrypted .zip files and images.
• Includes a mobile website compatible with iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
• Cryptocat Chrome, a Chrome app that loads all code locally, and is secure from being served compromised code.
• Chats are securely deleted after one hour of inactivity.
• Easily invite your Facebook contacts to join your Cryptochat session.
• Send private messages that can only be seen by a single recipient.
• A sleek design with time-stamping, optional audio notifications, fluid-window mode, and mobile support.
• Translations available for French, Catalan, Basque, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian and Swedish.

A design specification for the Cryptochat protocol is available.

1. Run ./make.sh inside the js/src/ directory in order to generate the client-side cryptography code (requires gcc.)
2. Configure settings inside index.php.

• Cryptochat provides strongly encrypted, secure communications. However, it is not a replacement to GPG. Think responsibly if you are in extreme, life-threatening situations.

• Using Cryptochat without HTTPS in a production environment is a recipe for disaster. We severely warn against deploying Cryptochat without HTTPS, unless the deployment is occurring as a Tor Hidden Service.

• Paranoid users may want to use Cryptochat Chrome, a Chrome app that loads all code locally, and is secure from being served compromised code.

• The code for secure deletion of idle chats after one hour is not included in the Cryptochat git repository. On the production server, it's actually a cron job that checks the modification time of chats and wipes them securely. Those wanting to set up similar functionality should consider writing something similar.

• If Cryptochat does not work on your server, please make sure PHP is compiled with shmop support (--enable-shmop).
