SimpleX
The first messaging platform operating without user identifiers
Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. The video shows how you connect to your friend via their 1-time QR-code, in person or via a video link. You can also connect by sharing an invitation link. Temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise addresses and credentials for each user contact or group member. It allows to deliver messages without user profile identifiers, providing better meta-data privacy than alternatives. Many communication platforms are vulnerable to MITM attacks by servers or network providers. To prevent it SimpleX apps pass one-time keys out-of-band when you share an address as a link or a QR code. Double-ratchet protocol. OTR messaging with perfect forward secrecy and break-in recovery. NaCL cryptobox in each queue to prevent traffic correlation between message queues if TLS is compromised. -

A network security analysis and monitoring toolkit Linux distribution.
Network Security Toolkit (NST) is a bootable ISO image (Live USB Flash Drive) based on Fedora 44 providing easy access to best-of-breed Open Source Network Security Applications and should run on most x86_64 systems. The main intent of developing this toolkit was to provide the security professional and network administrator with a comprehensive set of Open Source Network Security Tools. The majority of tools published in the article: Top 125 Security Tools by INSECURE.ORG are available in the toolkit. An advanced Web User Interface (WUI) is provided for system/network administration, navigation, automation, network monitoring, host geolocation, network analysis and configuration of many network and security applications found within the NST distribution. In the virtual world, NST can be used as a network security analysis, validation and monitoring tool on enterprise virtual servers hosting virtual machines. -

Amazon SNS Message Validator for PHP
Amazon SNS message validation for PHP
The Amazon SNS Message Validator for PHP library allows you to validate that incoming HTTP(S) POST messages are valid Amazon SNS notifications. This library is standalone and does not depend on the AWS SDK for PHP or Guzzle; however, it does require PHP 5.4+ and that the OpenSSL PHP extension is installed. Next, you must create an instance of MessageValidator, and then use either the isValid() or validate(), methods to validate the message. The message validator checks the SigningCertURL, SignatureVersion, and Signature to make sure they are valid and consistent with the message data. Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a fast, fully-managed, push messaging service. Amazon SNS can deliver messages to email, mobile devices (i.e., SMS; iOS, Android and FireOS push notifications), Amazon SQS queues, and of course HTTP/HTTPS endpoints. -

phpseclib
PHP secure communications library
phpseclib is designed to be ultra-portable. The 3.0 version works on PHP 5.6+ and doesn't require any extensions. For purposes of speed, OpenSSL, GMP, libsodium or mcrypt are used, if they're available, but they are not required. phpseclib is designed to be fully interoperable with standardized cryptography libraries and protocols. MIT-licensed pure-PHP implementations of SSH-2, SFTP, X.509, an arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic library, Ed25519 / Ed449 / Curve25519 / Curve449, ECDSA / ECDH (with support for 66 curves), RSA (PKCS#1 v2.2 compliant), DSA / DH, DES / 3DES / RC4 / Rijndael / AES / Blowfish / Twofish / Salsa20 / ChaCha20, GCM / Poly1305. The only requirement that phpseclib 3.0 has is that you must be using PHP 5.6+. Using phpseclib2_compat will actually bring a few enhancements to your dependency. -
