----- Forwarded message from Nathan of Guardian <nathan@guardianproject.info> ----- Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2013 08:38:09 -0400 From: Nathan of Guardian <nathan@guardianproject.info> To: Guardian Dev <guardian-dev@lists.mayfirst.org> Subject: [guardian-dev] ChatSecure "Burner" accounts User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130804 Thunderbird/17.0.8 One of the new features, I am finishing implementation on is the ability to quickly create "burner" accounts within ChatSecure v12. As of last nights alpha, you can now create new accounts directly from the app, on supported services such as Jabber.ccc.de and Dukgo.com. In the default mode, you choose a username, password, etc, yourself. The concept of a burner account is that you can quickly create a new clean account with no identifying or memorable details, and have that account only exist on your device, within the encrypted ChatSecure SQLCipher data store. In the burner mode, a random username and password will be generated, all registration and communication will be required to be done over Orbot/Tor, and possibly, we will only support using an XMPP service that has a Tor hidden service. One you are logged in, you can then use the typical invite/add contact feature to start a chat with someone, either on the same box, or any other federated XMPP service. Ideally, the other person is also using a burner account. Any other thoughts on this feature? Other similar implementations or concepts to consider? Perhaps this should be a Force OTR-only as well, and maybe the account auto-deletes after a time period or when you exit the app? Thanks for your feedback, and please, try the latest alpha if you have not yet moved onto v12. It is getting very close to stable, and we are very nearly done with all the new features. +n _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: Guardian-dev@lists.mayfirst.org List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: Guardian-dev-unsubscribe@lists.mayfirst.org Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/eugen%40leitl.org You are subscribed as: eugen@leitl.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://ativel.com http://postbiota.org AC894EC5: 38A5 5F46 A4FF 59B8 336B 47EE F46E 3489 AC89 4EC5
