Live messages are encrypted on the client.
Crypted Chat uses OpenMLS sessions between Crypted clients rather than relying on server-side plaintext messaging for live conversations.
Live relay messages are deliberately ephemeral.
Encrypted relay envelopes have a fixed five-minute lifetime instead of becoming a permanent server-side chat archive.
No public discovery layer.
Crypted Chat is intentionally narrow. Communication is between mutually accepted contacts rather than an open public social network.
Unexpected identity changes stop the secure session.
Cryptographic device identity is pinned so that an unexpected contact identity change does not silently continue as if nothing happened.
What is Crypted Chat?
Crypted Chat is the secure live messaging component of Crypted. It is designed for private encrypted conversations between Crypted users without turning the service into another permanent public messaging platform.
Secure chat without a permanent message archive.
Crypted Chat focuses on conversations that are happening now. Both contacts must be online, and encrypted relay envelopes automatically expire after five minutes. The system is intentionally different from conventional cloud chat archives.
Crypted Mail and Crypted Chat work together.
One Crypted account combines secure mail for durable private correspondence with secure live chat for immediate encrypted communication. The two communication modes share the same privacy-first philosophy while serving different purposes.
