deadrop

Playwright Tests CLI Build

deadrop is an e2e encrypted secret sharing platform that leverages the Web Crypto API.

How it Works

Utilizing public key infrastructure patterns, deadrop uses AES (with GCM) and Eliptical Curve (ECDH) cryptographic methods to generate keys and obfuscate payloads then SHA-256 is used after handoff for verifying data integrity. All keys are exchanged through peer-to-peer connections over WebRTC allowing all key and payload communications to remain solely between the two peers ("dropper" and "grabber") and are not logged or tracked by any server-side functionality. An opaque drop ID, the dropper's peer ID, and a nonce for the drop session are stored in a redis instance. The dropper's peer ID and nonce are then retrieved for the grabber by sending GET request to the /api/drop endpoint.
