I was looking for something different from Tor and not like I2P. Someone give a look on Lokinet? What's your thoughts?

Edit : I know that is based on oninon nodes I mean about the privacy feature and what have to offer more

can you explain how briar isn't the best for privacy?

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That is because I had Matrix and briar confused. Matrix is the one with no forward secrecy or whatever it was called. If someone gets your Matrix key, they have all your previous messages.

I think downvotes should be enough ;)

No they don't, matrix has partial forward security, it does rotate the keys for messages, not for every message, but it does rotate them for all users in an encrypted room if a user has a new login so that session can't read past messages until it gets keys shared by verifying with another session, same for when a user joins the room and maybe leaves the room

If you call it forward security I think you should ask yourself if the dude who swapped names is maybe more correct as he has the right jargon ;)
