Maybe the solution, instead, is to create a simple browser plugin that accepts ciphertext and keys and decrypts blobs of text. It's ugly, but you could render it in place with some creative tagging of the blobs.
1. define a schema for the blob. recipient pubkey, signature, hash, etc
2. define a delineator or symbol of some sort to encapsulate the serialized blob so our plugin recognizes it
3. parse blob into readable text for the user
4. provide interface to manage/create keys/messages and load the blob to the clipboard for users to paste into whatever.
voila. please hold your applause, I'm going to need one of you to MVP this by the end of the week.
- random_kris 4y agoLet's do it. I have similar ideas and we can use blockchain to anchor some stuff there so that the extension doesn't need any servers to get data, only Blockchain node to connect to
- rakoo 4y agoIt's been done already, see https://wiki.bitmessage.org/ https://wiki.bitmessage.org/
- nominusllc 4y agonot browser plugin, isnt for decoding blobs in place on random services.
- rakoo 4y agoThe browser can't talk to blockchain nodes anyway.
- nominusllc 4y agothis should not require blockchain.
- rakoo 4y agoSee https://mailvelope.com/en/ https://mailvelope.com/en/, much of it was already done. The real issue is the actual exchange of messages
