Not the fort-knox implementation it claims on the tin.
'LocalSend uses a secure communication protocol that allows devices to communicate with each other using a REST API. All data is sent securely over HTTPS, and the TLS/SSL certificate is generated on the fly on each device, ensuring maximum security.'
How do they achieve maximum security while generating X.509 certs on device?
Let's look; 'https://github.com/localsend/protocol#2-fingerprint'
'When encryption is on (HTTPS), then the fingerprint is the SHA-256 hash of the certificate'
Confusingly there is a HTTP non encrypted mode, and the docs claim the fingerprint only used to avoid discovery collisions.
Out-of-band [visual comparison / QR code scanning step] sharing of fingerprints COULD be acceptable to prevent 'man in the middle' attacks, however the documentation doesn't seem to indicate that this detail is surfaced or shared with the user.
