A few questions for the dev…

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Cryptee

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • openpgpjs

    OpenPGP implementation for JavaScript

  • a) We use an open source cryptographic library, OpenPGPjs, which is built by the good folks over at Protonmail, and the library itself is frequently audited. Here's one. And everything you see and use on Cryptee is built on top of this.

  • end-to-end

    End-To-End is a crypto library to encrypt, decrypt, digital sign, and verify signed messages (implementing OpenPGP)

  • In contrast, companies like Standard Notes actually uses their own home-built encryption library, which is why it's a bit more critical that they go through these audits more often and quickly than others. And despite the audits, this home-brewed encryption library puts them at a much bigger risk, due to the fact that it's never going to be as thoroughly battle tested as an open industry-standard encryption like OpenPGP, used by much larger companies like Google, Protonmail, etc.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • web-client

    Cryptee's web client source code for all platforms.

  • b) Our code-base is entirely open source, so anyone can take a look at the code and verify its security. Vs companies like Tresorit for example, they are closed-sourced, and nobody can independently verify their claims, so they are audited frequently by third parties.
