A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

Some Rules

Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
Don't promote proprietary software
Try to keep things on topic
If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
Be nice :)

Source code: https://github.com/umutcamliyurt/EternityChan

Description:

An end-to-end encrypted imageboard offers significant benefits in terms of privacy and security for users. With end-to-end encryption, all content, including images, messages, and posts, is encrypted on the sender's side and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient, ensuring that no third parties, including the imageboard administrators or hackers, can access the information.

Features:

End-to-end encryption for all user data
Small codebase
Server runs even on cheapest hardware
Docker support
Built in Rust

Sorry but if the face of your project is a little anime girl, I'm out

AES-256-GCM 😂

The NSA is absolutely storing all this type of stuff and is waiting for quantum decryption to come around. Everything is private for now

This is just nonsense.

https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/6712/is-aes-256-a-post-quantum-secure-cipher-or-not

From the second response:

We can only estimate it even with some good numbers like assuming that one can prepare-and-run the machine in one nanosecond. Then for AES-128, it will take ≈585 years.

[...]

(AES-256 - ≈583⋅2^64 years)

Grover's algorithm can also be parallelized, the gain, however, is not quadratic as one expected. For running k machine one gets √k speed ups. Therefore if one runs 10^6 Grover's machine in parallel they can break AES-128 for less than one year.

So, if we had a million quantum computers capable of running Grover's Algorithm in 1ns (none currently exist) it would take less than a year to break AES-128. It would take approximately 2^64 times longer for AES-256....

...for one key.

So, absent an undiscovered cryptographic break in AES, AES-256 is quantum resistant for timescales longer than your life.

If that isn't enough security for you, then you probably shouldn't be posting it on open source image boards.
