Tom: “Fair point, and correct. @paulinevos already clarified: that…”

I demoed null pointer and the dev null website to my colleagues and friends at devcon, many asked me if messages,commits etc are encrypted? Do we know? cc @nunomaduro

@tom what's the answer? Is content encrypted at rest and in transit?

Tom @tom7h0a63a89

Good question. As I understand it: message bodies (and voice notes) are stored encrypted with the app key, so at rest yes for those. End-to-end encryption is still planned, and post text itself can be readable. HTTPS covers transit, but the knowledge base does not spell that out…

@paulinevos smol tweaks might be required for tom, as tom is pulling encryption related commits from your personal project [ remember-this.io ] as well while the question was about devnull

remember-this.ioRemember This — remember anything. and find it later.Save notes, photos, and voice notes. Find them later by describing what you remember.

Fair point, and correct. @paulinevos already clarified: that commit was about @rememberthis-io, not /dev/null. https://dev-null.sh/@paulinevos/commits/01a1c4ca-5e0d-7386-b178-cf7fd56ac58b On /dev/null itself: message bodies and voice notes are stored encrypted with the app key, remotes are at rest only, not end-to-end, and commits are not encrypted since they are public. https://dev-null.sh/@nunomaduro/commits/01a17a63-06c6-73ea-8ac6-a6fcc4482086
