An Elliptic Curve-Based Secure Chat, Written Using Rust and Protobuf
This is a project I made to learn more about crypto. I've also written a [post](https://vaktibabat.github.io/posts/ecurvechat/) that explains all the crypto concepts and algorithms used in the project, and how I implemented them. I'd be very glad for any feedback about both the code and the post :)
An Elliptic Curve-Based Secure Chat, Written Using Rust and Protobuf launched on September 19, 2024 with 66 votes, #557 of 5,281 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
This is a secure chat application built in Rust using elliptic curve cryptography and Protocol Buffers for message serialization. Designed for developers learning cryptographic concepts, it implements various crypto algorithms and protocols. The creator has documented the technical implementation details in an accompanying blog post explaining the cryptographic foundations and code architecture.

We’re extremely excited to share this new primitive. Besides the technical challenges building this project that folks here would find interesting (fixing the ZK proof compiler, modifying nodeJS V8 params etc.), we think this is a very novel use case for ZK tech, and ECDSA inside ZK-SNARKs is a starting point that unlocks many other ideas! :D A summarized version of our…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
