synapse-desktop's Introduction

Synapse - Desktop Client

Synapse is a messaging system that attempts to merge Signal's protocol for secure communications and TOR network's identity protection.

This desktop client is being build on top of Electron, using React.js with Redux.

DISCLAIMER: This code has not yet received sufficient review by any qualified cryptographers to be considered in any way, shape, or form, safe.

synapse-desktop's Issues

Refactor chat_client.js into a React component

Refactor the class of chat_client.js into a React component that wraps the chat client functionality, using nested routes for rendering children components (Contacts, chat/conversation).

Improve styles

Improve styles on:

  • Landing page
  • Login
  • Loader
  • Contacts (check how difficult it would be to merge contacts and conversation view, like other desktop apps such as Telegram or WhatsApp)

Refactor using Electron and React

Due to the fact that signal protocol's library uses window.crypto, will be necessary to migrate the client application to a browser environment; such as electron.

Fix React warnings

  • setState(...): Cannot update during an existing state transition
  • Each child in an array or iterator should have a unique "key" prop. Check the render method [...]

Chat functionality between two clients

Chat initialization process:

  1. Client A sends server 'init-chat' message with the id of client B to start a conversation.
  2. Server receives 'init-chat' message and forwards the message to client B.
  3. Client B accepts the chat by answering the server with 'accept-chat' and client A's id.
  4. A and B can now send 'chat-msg' with each other's Ids.

Steps 1-3 handshake serves as a placeholder for future implementations of Signal's protocol sessions.
