The Seif Project
summary
Seif replaces passwords with public‑key authentication and avoids certificate authorities, implements a one‑roundtrip authenticated session using elliptic curve 521, AES‑256 and SHA3‑256, and harvests extra entropy from microphone and camera for key generation. It ships as five parts: safe node (crypto module for Node), secured JSON over TCP (the safe protocol with full‑duplex, persistent retry and status sends), content addressed resources by hash, HTML‑free apps built on Qt + a slimmed Node (no NPM), and a browser helper; code is open source on GitHub.
