hpt is designed to be a private messaging application that puts the emphasis on your privacy and security. To support this claim, here is a list of hpt's features :
- hpt is open source (you can obviously look at the code)
- all transfers are encrypted using SSL (may it be between Alice and Bob or Alice and Dispatcher)
- messaging is peer-to-peer : your messages don't transit through a potentially data-stealing server (the Dispatcher is only here to make contact list available)
hpt is vanilla : this is a messaging application and should be used to communicate (privately and securely), therefore you won't find fancy, unecessary and slow features. hpt is supposed to be a messaging application, it is, period.
- v0.1.0
- Communications with dispatcher are SSL/TLS encrypted
- Clients can register a new name and connect to dispatcher

- Encrypt the registered.db file in the dispatcher
- Encrypt the user's contact list with his password (it is nobody else's business but him to peer into his contact list)
- Use SSL/TLS encrypted communications between peers
- Write a function to remove from alive the users whose last Alive request is more than XX time
- Rewrite functions with Exception handling (e.g. getPrivateKeyFile, etc)
