Noxious

Noxious is designed to be a secure, decentralized, and anonymous instant messaging platform.
##Anonymous
All communications are conducted between tor hidden services and never leave the tor network.
##Secure
In addition to the encryption offered by the tor hidden service protocol, all chat messages are
RSA public-key encrypted using a 3072 bit key. All crytography is handled by the forge module. Although forge is 100%
JavaScript, it does access the CSPRNG (Cryptographically Secure Random Number
Generator) provided by the native openssl library via a call to node's crypto.randomBytes
function.
##Platform
Noxious is built on the Electron Application Shell.

##Noxious Chat Bot
The Noxious Chat Bot is
available for testing. The bot is console based and utilizes native openssl
libraries for crypto. Successful communication between the Noxious Client and
the Noxious Chat Bot demonstrates that the JavaScript forge module utilized
in the Noxious client is openssl compatible.
