Slightly unrelated but a good place to plug my recent hobby. Meshtastic. set up a node and coordinate with friends to connect the whole area.
Not only it is a secure clandestine chat network. it will work when the networks are down, allowing you to coordinate with everyone. Give them a battery/solar and they will work no matter what, electric grid down, you can still coordinate.
I am currently working with local action groups to get the whole city connected
Meshtastic uses AES-256, which is a symmetric encryption algorithm. I’d much prefer it if it could use some kind of asymmetric algorithm with perfect forward secrecy like what other encrypted messaging apps use.
Its current implementation can lead to “store now decrypt later” attacks, and with the government probably having access to quantum computers, is not something I would feel comfortable with long term.
