Open Source Haskell Messaging Platforms

Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. The video shows how you connect to your friend via their 1-time QR-code, in person or via a video link. You can also connect by sharing an invitation link. 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.

A reference implementation of the SimpleX Messaging Protocol for simplex queues over public networks. SimpleXMQ is a message broker for managing message queues and sending messages over a public network. It consists of an SMP server, SMP client library, and SMP agent that implements SMP protocol for client-server communication and SMP agent protocol to manage duplex connections via simplex queues on multiple SMP servers. SMP protocol is inspired by Redis serialization protocol, but it is much simpler - it currently has only 10 client commands and 8 server responses.
