Post-Quantum
Encrypted Messenger
A fully decentralized messenger with NIST Category 5 post-quantum encryption. No central servers, no phone numbers, no metadata collection. Messages travel through a peer-to-peer network — encrypted end-to-end with Kyber1024 + AES-256-GCM.
Private messaging. Public channels. Send funds in chat.
Encrypted direct messages, Telegram-style public channels, personal wall posts, and the ability to send funds directly in conversation — all running on a decentralized network with zero central servers.
Encrypted Direct Messages
Private conversations encrypted with Kyber1024 + AES-256-GCM. Address contacts by their DNA name — no phone numbers or email needed.
- Delivery and read receipts
- Offline message queue with 7-day TTL
- Cross-device sync via recovery phrase
Public Channels
Open chat rooms where people hang out and talk — like Telegram groups, but decentralized. Every message is signed with Dilithium5 so you always know who said what.
- Real-time group conversations
- React, reply, copy, and repost
- Image sharing and media support
Wall Posts
A personal public feed tied to your DNA identity. Share updates, thoughts, or announcements that anyone can see on your profile.
- Signed with your identity key
- Visible on your public profile
- Stored on the decentralized network
Group Messaging
Decentralized groups with GEK encryption — efficient key distribution for groups of any size. Automatic key rotation on member changes.
- Group ownership transfer
- P2P group invitations
- Forward security via GEK versioning
Your timeline
Wall posts, images, and reactions
The home feed shows wall posts from people you follow. Share images, react, reply, repost — a decentralized social layer built on top of the encrypted network.
- Image posts with full media support
- Reactions, threaded replies, and reposts
- All content signed and stored on the DHT
NIST Category 5 — maximum quantum resistance
256-bit security level. Protected against both current classical attacks and future quantum computers. Your keys never leave your device.
| Algorithm | Standard | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Kyber1024 | ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) | Key encapsulation & exchange |
| Dilithium5 | ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) | Digital signatures |
| AES-256-GCM | NIST | Symmetric message encryption |
| SHA3-512 | NIST | Cryptographic hashing |
| BIP39 | Bitcoin Standard | 24-word recovery phrase |
No Central Servers
Messages travel peer-to-peer through the DHT. Nothing to compromise or subpoena.
No IP Leakage
Your real IP is never exposed to contacts or third parties. DHT-only transport.
No Metadata
Minimal routing header. Cannot track who talks to whom.
No Phone Number
Identity via DNA name tied to your cryptographic key pair. No personal data required.
Serverless peer-to-peer stack
DNA Connect runs on Nodus — a post-quantum Kademlia DHT with ML-DSA + ML-KEM support, PBFT consensus, and a 6-node production cluster.
Post-quantum C engine under the hood
All cryptography, messaging, and DHT operations run in a native C library (libdna). Flutter, Android, and CLI connect through thin FFI bindings — zero crypto in managed code.
Modular Engine
Async task queue with domain modules: messaging, identity, contacts, DHT, backup. Thread pool for concurrent execution.
Cross-Platform
Same C code compiles for Linux, Windows, and Android. Flutter via dart:ffi, Android via JNI, CLI for automation.
Open Source
C library, Nodus server, and shared crypto are Apache 2.0 licensed. DNA Connect app is source-available for auditing.
NIST Category 5
ML-KEM-1024 key exchange, ML-DSA-87 signatures, SHA3-512 hashing, AES-256-GCM encryption. Maximum quantum resistance.
