It's ok for most encrypted protocols (In salty you can fetch other messages but can't decrypt). Btw i think recipient can be removed so if someone seen message they tried to decypt, if can't - its not message to you

It’s nice to see we’re all largely thinking along the same lines. e.g: Salty.im 😅

my first thought is that encrypting messages with Elliptic keys is not as easy as with RSA, although I tried doing something similar a few months ago with ECIES

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah this is true. Previously RSA and AES were more common. These days Salsa and Chacha and Curve are fairly prevalent. For example all the Wireguard stuff uses Curve25519 / Ed25519 crypto. Signal uses very similar crypto too, but with some very nice double ratcheting 3DH.

It is not possible to remove it, otherwise you do not know that the message is for you. With that information you can't decrypt.

another one would be to allow changing public keys over time (as it may be a good practice

[0]). A syntax like the following could help to know what public key you used to encrypt the message, and which private key the client should use to decrypt it:
@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me Agree with the base64 encoding 👌

I haven't read the entire specification, but I think there is a fundamental design problem. Why would someone put an encrypted message on a public feed that is completely useless to everybody other than the one recipient? This doesn't make sense to me. It of course depends on the threat model, but wouldn't one also want to minimize the publicly visible metadata (who is communicating with whom and when) when privately messaging? I feel there are better ways to accomplish this. Sorry, if I miss the obvious use case, please let me know. :-)

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt That’s actually not true, because you’d have to know the target you’re interested in, in the first place. Inboxes in Salty.IM are deliberately shahed for this reason. So whilst you may know your own inbox address, etc, I (as an arbitrary bad actor) wouldn’t easily be able to guess (let alone brute force) my way to another inbox address of an interested party.

The idea would be that you’d login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 – For those unfamiliar, this is called IndieAuth or IndieLogin. ALL Yarn.social pods are in fact valid (have been for years now) IndieAuth Providers. So I can just ust that. This also technically means you could login with your own domain too (more on that later…)

No Calls
Article URL: https://keygen.sh/blog/no-calls/
⤋ Read More
@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net TL;DR:
The author recounts their experience with a “no calls” policy in enterprise sales, finding it surprisingly effective. They attribute this success to addressing common reasons for calls—lack of understanding, onboarding issues, pricing uncertainty, and trust concerns—through clear messaging, self-serve onboarding, transparent pricing, and robust security documentation. While acknowledging potential limitations, the author advocates for a #nocalls approach, emphasizing the benefits of efficiency and alignment with their values.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I believe I disabled new registrations by default due to increase in levels of “spam accounts”. If you could email me, or DM me (IRC) your Github username, I’ll add an account for you that matches your Github profile and you can sign-in that way.
Respectfully, I will not move any of my projects back to Github after this blog post; hope you can understand, but I’d prefer to stick to my moral values here as much as I can 😅
