KryptEY

Communicate securely and independent, regardless of the legal situation or whether messengers use E2EE. No server needed. #ChatKontrolleStoppen

Why KryptEY?

Breaking of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by laws such as the planned EU chat control is an ongoing issue. Content in messengers that use E2EE, such as Whatsapp or Signal, could thus be monitored by third parties. E2EE is often, but not always, standard in messengers. There are proven methods for E2EE such as PGP. However, these methods are sometimes cumbersomely integrated and require a lot of effort to use.

KryptEY is an Android keyboard that implements the Signal protocol. The keyboard works messenger-independently and both the X3DH Key Agreement Protocol and the Double Ratchet Algorithm work without a server, thus it enables a highly independent use of the protocol.

Features

Based upon Simple Keyboard ( https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard ), KryptEY adds a view above the Keyboard for the E2EE functionality.

* use E2EE through Signal Protocol in any messenger

* encryption/decryption of messages

* enter message through separate text field in keyboard

* use clipboard to read messages

* manage contacts in own contact list in keyboard

* message log to view sent/received messages

* send messages as plain JSON (raw mode) or hidden in a decoy text (fairytale mode)

* verification of E2EE functionality via fingerprint

* Q&A View for questions

* dark & light theme

See https://github.com/amnesica/KryptEY/blob/master/KRYPTEY.md for further information on how KryptEY is working.

Security

The existing security properties for the Signal Protocol are also valid for the keyboard.
