LockBox

LockBox is a secure, peer-to-peer messaging application built in Python, featuring end-to-end encryption to protect private communications. It ensures users can exchange messages securely without relying on centralized servers.

Features

• 🔒 End-to-End Encryption – Messages are encrypted using robust cryptographic methods.
• 🔗 Peer-to-Peer Networking – Direct communication without centralized servers.
• 🛡 Secure Key Exchange – Prevents interception of encryption keys.
• 💬 Real-Time Messaging – Instant message delivery between peers.
• 🏗 Cross-Platform Support – Works on various operating systems.

Security Considerations and Roadmap

LockBox is in active development, with security being the top priority. The roadmap includes:

🔍 Current Security Measures

• AES-256 Encryption for message confidentiality.
• RSA Key Exchange for secure peer authentication.
• Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) planned for future updates.

🚀 Planned Enhancements

• Implementing secure multi-party communication.
• Enhancing metadata privacy to prevent traffic analysis.
• Introducing automatic key rotation for added security.
• Conducting third-party security audits to ensure robustness.
