Chat: One secure chat Your invite only chat can be 1:1 or group. Web 2.0 has multiple chat apps in its ecosystem (FB, WhatsApp, iMessage) which means your data is exploited by each company Urbit solves this by having just one and your data is secure on your personal server

I wish there was more info on how data is actually handled in chat though. It can’t JUST “stay on your server”. It obviously goes on your friends servers too. But how much is on theirs? The whole log? All the metadata too?

All the chat data is encrypted and shared between everyone in a chat. Everyone involved has the whole log (metadata and messages) on their Urbit OS node.

Thanks for clarifying What I meant was that all of the data is secure from exploitation no matter the server

Important to note that Urbit is not yet truly secure, since it’s not yet audited. We use standard, known encryption algorithms though. And we’re working to get Urbit’s networking audited this year.

Do you know how far metadata leaks through the network? If it leaks at all (like who is talking to who), is it limited to only the stars that manage the planets that are involved?

As an example: when one planet Alice wants to talk to planet Bob, Alice’s star looks up Bob’s IP by asking his star. Once Alice knows Bob’s IP, packets are sent directly.

If Alice later hosts a group chat and invites Bob (and her IP hasn’t changed) he just joins directly.

That’s pretty solid. That very basic metadata may even be desirable, not sure. But something like this seems worthwhile to look into as wellhttps://ethresear.ch/t/blind-find-private-social-network-search/6988 …

FWIW we’ve also talked about how you could route Ames (our network protocol) over Tor someday. This would give even better protection against ‘Eve’, as she is known.
