filetel's Introduction

Simple and secure peer-to-peer file transfer

file.tel

XKCD 949

Send files securely and quickly directly from one machine to others using a small webpage and a few words.

file.tel allows you to create an ephemeral and easy to type link to transfer files securely from one machine to the other without having to upload them anywhere.

How it works

  • We generate two random secrets encoded in unambiguous and easy to pronounce words
  • Both sides of the transfer use Webtorrent websocket trackers to find each other based on the first secret and open a WebRTC connection
  • We use the second secret and the connection to derive a strong shared key using SPAKE2
  • We transfer the files encrypted with the shared key using webtorrent
