@Maxaseel Thanks for your feedback.
People have been asking for some implementation of asymmetric encryption for a while now (https://github.com/nfdz/Cryptool/issues/7).
The main problem I see is how to introduce this feature in a user-friendly way, not hiding the cryptographic work from the user. Why do we want another app that does cryptographic asymmetric encryption in a magical and transparent way for the user? I think there are already several open source chat apps that does this, right?
The idea of not hiding the cryptographic part of the app is so that a non-specialized user can understand what is going on all the time. I think that is the differentiating part of this app. Maybe I am wrong.
I think it has to be possible to implement this feature in a way that the user can see the cryptographic process in the background, we just don't have reached a good sketch and plan yet. You are welcome to share/contribute more about this topic.
