Librevault: Open source zero-knowledge peer-to-peer file sync

I wish people would stop using the phrase "zero knowledge" willy nilly. It has a specific meaning within cryptography.

Can you describe your file encryption procedure? In the Meta::Chunk class the 'encrypt' function only computes AES-CBC with no MAC, but there are calls to compute_strong_hash at other points in the library. There are references to a (non-cryptographic) Rabin hash as well as SHA2-224 and SHA3-224 in these functions - which is used for ciphertext authenticity and integrity?

Please add some basic instructions on how to use this on a local network.<p>I tried the following:<p>1. Download app and install<p>2. &quot;Add folder&quot; new key, select folder I want to sync. Ok. Folder did not then appear in the list as expected. It should it appear in the window straight away, right?<p>3. I then installed the software on another computer.<p>4. On other computer clicked &#x27;Open URL&#x27; and added &quot;lvlt:&lt;secret_key_from_step_2_above&gt;&quot;. OK. This did nothing either.<p>Where am I going wrong. Please add a basic getting started to your site which shows the basic steps to add a folder on one computer and then set up another computer to sync the folder down onto.<p>Looks like a great little app. thx in advance for your assistance.

Sounds awesome. I think your website could use an explanation of the term &quot;zero-knowledge&quot;.

Very nice. It seems a lot less janky than Syncthing (web UI, constant process restarts)

Looks great! Any plans to document the synchronization protocol?<p>I&#x27;ve been using SyncThing but it lacks the main feature I need, which is to selectively synchronize only certain files to other devices.

Are there any plans for a headless server. I&#x27;m still looking for a good way to sync my NAS to my desktop.

Something I just noticed after testing Librevault today... Extremely low CPU&#x2F;power consumption. Nice!!!

How does it compare to syncthing et al?

Geez, that&#x27;s what I am exactly working on off-work, slowly but the idea is nearly 100% identical.

Looks interesting I am looking for a new private file sync application. Any plans for Arch Linux (Can build it myself but find AUR easier) and android?
