Once you captured the chat link for the other party, click "Start he Chat".

How Does it Work?

Your browser generates a one-time secret link to invite the other chat party. Once the other party joins in, both browsers will change the secret once again. The secret key required to decrypt the chat is never exposed to any servers - it always stays in the user's browser, by design.

All encryption and decryption is carried out by the browsers of the two chat parties - no servers involved. This ensures that the servers only pass the encrypted data around but stay uninformed as to the chat content at all times. This web site does not have an ability to decrypt any of the messages.

The decryption keys are created in the browsers and stay local to the devices of the chat parties. This protects your chat even if the initial chat link exchanged by the parties is compromised later. The one-time invitation link is no longer usable once the conversation begins.

Both chat users may delete a part or all of the conversation for both parties at any time.

Each party can save their unique secret link (e.g. bookmark it) if they wish to return to the conversation later. The secret chat link represents a direct communications channel with the other party. The permalink can not be retrieved later if lost. However, a new conversation can be started between parties at any time.

Decryption is only possible with the URL fragment generated by your browser (the part after the # sign), which is never shared with our servers, even when the link is clicked. This behavior is by design in all modern browsers.
