GoldBug is a decentralized & secure communication suite that offers an integrated e-mail client, an instant messenger & a file transfer. Also included is an URL-RSS-DB & a p2p web search. Current vers. w/ McEliece Algorithm. GoldBug has been 2013 - 2023 ten years just another Graphical User Interface of the Spot-On Encryption Suite. Main GUI features: Minimal & colorful Interface with Tabs in the East. Microsoft & Qt MinGW deprecated Win32 & for Compiling: ● https://sourceforge.net/p/goldbug/wiki/compiling As Spot-On implemented the minimal GB-concept & Nuvola Icons, GoldBug has now been fully integrated into Spot-On Win64: Just choose Tabs at East & Mini-View in Options - w/ Nuvola Icons of course!

Lanchat is a Client/Server instant messenger chat service for network/internet use. Builds upon the many features of modern IM environments while implementing some unique ideas. Supports text formatting, blocking/banning, direct connections and much more

The end goal of the FreeMess Project is to produce a cryptographically secure, pseudonymous, cross-platform peer-to-peer Instant Messenger service, piggybacking on FreeNet (http://freenet.sourceforge.net) as a distributed filesystem to hold user data.

No-Name Instant Messenger is a secure (strong cryptography), cross platform communications program that supports existing IM networks (AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.).

Novel Insight Inner Circle is a message and file encryption tool for Windows. The software is developed in Java and requires 64bit Java JRE. The encryption uses AES-256 twice so it is harder to crack than the industry standard pure AES 256bit implementation (theoretical key size is 512 bit). The software writes encrypted data in ASCII text format which can be cut'n'pasted to messaging apps or to emails and back to Inner Circle when decrypting data. IMPORTANT: The software requires new OpenJDK 16 (Not Oracle's J2RE 1.8) to run. Install, for example, AdoptOpenJDK for Windows. NOTE: By using encryption twice the implementation is (in theory) vulnerable to Meet-In-The-Middle attack reducing key size to 256bit but the attack still requires 2^256 bytes of memory making it impossible in practice.

Petoron P2P Messenger (P-P2P-M) Architecture: Pure P2P - no servers, no databases Key storage: Keys generated in memory, never stored, erased after use Metadata: Only IP and port exist during the session - everything else is encrypted & obfuscated Encryption: PQS v1.2 - PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (200k), BLAKE2s-MAC, custom stream cipher + fake padding Authentication: BLAKE2s-MAC (16 bytes) - instant failure on any data change Packet obfuscation: --stealth mode - padding, hidden structures Connection: Direct peer-to-peer only Anonymity: No accounts, logins, or phone numbers Third-party access: Impossible without physical access to both peers during session History: No storage — all in RAM, wiped on close Message size: Limited only by RAM & MTU — no artificial limits External dependencies: None DPI/blocking resistance: Harder to detect, can be masked Autonomy: Fully offline until peers connect 26.01.26 Add pqs_chat_tor.py github.com/01alekseev/Petoron-P2P-Messenger

This project is designed to create a secure instant messaging client that utilizes existing instant message frameworks such as AOL, Google Talk, Yahoo Chat, etc. Ultimately, the goal is to have a multi-network client.

Secure P2P Instant Messenger running on .NET Framework 2.0. Uses server to store user information (user name, password, email address, friends list, log in state, IP address) in encrypted form. Uses custom designed symmetric encryption algorithm.

The goal of this project is to develop a network protocol (Peer Instant Messenger Protocol, PIMP) that creates a distributed, peer-to-peer network for the transmission of instant messages, along with a graphical client that will allow users to access the

Secure Java Instant Messenger. Supports asymmetric key encryption of messages. will support multiple protocols (Jabber initially) and multiple UIs.
