TLDR; for my project i wanted the signal protocol that would work in a browser. following a previous post i made about looking for the signal protocol in javascript, i couldnt find something suitable... so empowered by AI, i tried to create something myself. i dont want to inspire undue confidence.

IMPORTANT: this project is not professionally audited or production ready.

for my p2p messaging project (a webapp) i wanted to explore an usage of the Signal protocol.... the investigation is still in progress and far from finished. its clear that the Signal protocol is not intended for a p2p architecture with it needing things like pre-keys stored on servers. so it seems nessesary to adapt it.

i looked around for a suitable implementation i could use. compiling the implementation in lib-signal-go to a wasm seemed like an option that worked... but given AI is everywhere, i decided to see if it could put something better together. i started off creating something using browser-based cryptograpy primitives. i would have like to keep it that way, but an ealier AI audit disagreed to using those primitives and so here is an attempt in rust that compiles to wasm.

i added several unit tests and and got AI to try create better securty audits, and i think its working well. (or at least well enough). AI's security audit points me to many things i can improve throughout (so i will when i can).

this is fairly complicated stuff and i know better than to ask people to spend their own time to review my experimental project... im not sharing for you to review my code; im sharing this here if this is interesting for anyone to take a look.

(note: the repo is getting a bit too "full" and i will be splitting it into a separate repo for just the signal implementation.)

Boa v0.21 is now available! After 9 months of development we are very happy to present you the latest release of the Boa JavaScript engine. Boa makes it easy to embed a JS engine in your projects, and you can even use it from WebAssembly.

if you've ever tried it, that is.

I'm considering giving it a go
