The first messaging platform operating without user identifiers
...Temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise addresses and credentials for each user contact or group member. It allows to deliver messages without user profile identifiers, providing better meta-data privacy than alternatives. Many communication platforms are vulnerable to MITM attacks by servers or network providers. To prevent it SimpleX apps pass one-time keys out-of-band when you share an address as a link or a QR code. Double-ratchet protocol. OTR messaging with perfect forward secrecy and break-in recovery. NaCL cryptobox in each queue to prevent traffic correlation between message queues if TLS is compromised.
Mazen's PHP Chat is a completely PHP4 based Chatsystem. Like other Chatsystems it doesn't use meta-refreshes to pull the chatlines from a MySQL-Server, it does a kind of server-push which continuously streams the Chat-Messages tp the client-browser.
