RE: SteemPro Introduces Private Messaging – End-to-End Encryption Now Live!

in Steem Dev23 days ago

Nice, that you include it to your app. Do you tested if you could decrypt your messages with your private memo key outside the app?

As I can see at first glance, you are using your fork of dsteem for encryption. Is that correct?

Sort:  

Yes, A simple Memo.decrypt will decrypt the memo. And only sender and receiver has this authority.

It’s not exactly simple; there’s a lot of logic involved in generating a shared secret between the private and public keys using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange. But there are existing codes to handle that, so it all works out. Therefore, it’s actually pretty simple now .

Yes you are right, it was tricky. it took me days and night to get a solid solution to prevent spamming at first stage!

Basically it's a forked version of dHive configured for Steem.
