Description : secure fully decentralized instant messaging, chat and email client
Goldbug is a fully decentralized peer-to-peer or friend-to-friend Instant Messenger
that aims to provide secure communications by using multi-encryption (RSA keys, SSL
and end-to-end encryption) and the Echo Protocol (EMPP = Echoed Messaging and Presence
Protocol) to avoid tracking.
.
Random fake messages can be sent as well from time to time to avoid tracking. Goldbug
prevents data retention for the same reasons and provides Web-of-Trust (WoT) Deniability.
.
It also offers decentralized and encrypted email and decentralized public E*IRC Chat for
groups of friends to chat privately. Signatures are available for authentication of chat
and emails.
