Kobeissi wrote that they'd like to establish a translation fund to ensure that translations are reliable and on-time with coming product releases. The application now does not store keys on the client side, so those keys must be regenerated, which is a time-consuming process that also requires users to authenticate themselves again.Ĭryptocat is translated into 32 languages, including obscure ones such as Tibetan, which is unpaid work that sometimes results in unreliable translations. Kobeissi wrote Cryptocat would also like to implement permanent storage of encryption keys. Cryptocat currently uses public key fingerprints. The project also expects to begin testing Cryptocat on Mozilla's Firefox operating system for mobile phones later this year.Īlso on the technical side, Cryptocat would like to employ the so-called "Socialist Millionaire Protocol" (SMP) within the application, which is a way for two people to confirm each other's identity. The applications will allow multiple people to chat at the same time and also have push notifications and message delivery confirmation amongst other features, Kobeissi wrote.

In May, Cryptocat plans to release mobile applications for the iPhone and Android mobile platforms. "Cryptocat is being built so that anyone can chat on the Internet without being surveilled, even if they're not a computer scientist," Kobeissi wrote. Kobeissi wrote in a report outlining Cryptocat's goals that while the project does not use in-depth methods to track usage due to privacy reasons, as many as 8,000 people were using the application daily in December.
