The Seif Project

" summary

Seif aims to remake web app delivery by shipping a minimal stack: Seif Node (curated crypto: elliptic curve 521, AES‑256, SHA3‑256 and a high‑quality RNG seeded from OS entropy plus microphone and camera noise), a JSON‑over‑TCP session protocol, a content model serving resources by crypto hash (immutable artifacts and perfect caching), and app runtime glue (Node for networking, Qt for UI). Claim: much lower risk and complexity than today's HTTP/password web; initial releases expect bugs to be found and fixed.
