This is what we’ve accomplished in 2012, and what we’re looking to do in 2013. It works in your browser, it’s colorful and it has a cat. Cryptocat is being built so that anyone can chat on the Internet without being surveilled, even if they’re not a computer scientist. We’re achieving our goal to make private communications accessible. It has found a surprisingly broad user-base, from transgender counselors to journalists. Cryptocat is now used by thousands daily. For a project trying to tackle such difficult problems, this was our best case scenario. Cryptocat was encouraged and criticized, met with skepticism and praise. In Autumn we released Cryptocat 2, the first major revision of our software. Spring and Summer saw Cryptocat presented at conferences from New York City to Rio de Janeiro. Last year was the first entire year that Cryptocat had for itself, and the year where we started making great progress. Striking a balance between security and accessibility has been one of the most difficult challenges in computer security for years before Cryptocat was conceived.
We were beset with new technologies and a seemingly impossible challenge. Year in review The Cryptocat Project’s goal of bringing private, encrypted and accessible instant messaging to the masses was never perceived as easy.
