Injectable Applications

PlainPosts are currently integrated directly into the rails content server and the Chrome extension. The Plain Post Threat Model is also under development.

ZeroBins needs a formal Threat Model, but since it layers JavaScript Cryptography on top of the Plain Post Threat Model, this threat model will not be a focus until the PlainPost model is completed.

Contributors are currently working on OTR and PGP applications, but these tasks are quite large and need more developers.

The Group Encryption specification is under development, but no code has been written.

Cryptography Plugin

Different platforms do not have cryptographically strong random number generation. On these platforms, a cryptography plugin is added to layer stronger security on top of the JavaScript environment.
