* Package name : cwtch Version : alpha Upstream Author : openprivacy.ca * URL : https://git.openprivacy.ca * License : MIT Programming Lang: go Description : Privacy Preserving Infrastructure for Asynchronous, Decentralized, Multi-Party, and Metadata Resistant Applications Communications metadata is known to be exploited by various adversaries to undermine the security of systems, to track victims and to conduct large scale social network analysis to feed mass surveillance. Metadata resistant tools are in their infancy and research into the construction and user experience of such tools is lacking. Cwtch is an extension of the metadata resistant protocol Ricochet to support asynchronous, multi-peer group communications through the use of discardable, untrusted, anonymous infrastructure. tl;dr it's a new generation, completely rewritten ricochet-im (Warning: cwtch is still an experimental prototype, but would fit well within 'experimental')
