Asynchronous forward secrecy #26

Open istathar opened 11 years ago

istathar commented 11 years ago

Nitro was raised on the Randombit cryptography list in a thread about infrastructure to enable forward secrecy, wherein was made the comment:

"Unfortunately they didn't implement the full CurveCP handshake, which provides both passive and active forward secrecy. It's unfortunate"

I think it's interesting that you got a mention at all; as far as I can tell the security in Nitro is already on the right track using Sodium, but if you can make the secret admirers interested & then happy you'll have gained a significant level of assurance.
