What is FLOAT CHAT ?

It is a web based, end-to-end encrypted chat application to let users chat one-to-one securely.

How it works

1. The message exchange takes place using Socket.io

2. A private, public key pair is generated for each user on login/signup. Private key is stored locally for the session and public key is published on the Virgil Cloud.

3. The users communicate with the Virgil Cloud securely using a virgil jwt token, generated during login/signup.

4. The message is encrypted using reciever's public key and signed using sender's private key. Decryption takes place using reciever's private key and sender's public key.
