Welcome to the SafeSlinger project wiki! SafeSlinger was designed to prevent network-level attackers from reading and/or altering messages people send. A general exchange library facilitates usable identity authentication and confidentiality, and several messaging implementations have used it thus far.

Our goal is to tackle the most difficult problems facing usable secure messaging today and provide solutions for anyone to use. We are actively seeking to incorporate our usability solutions into open and proprietary source projects alike for all. Our source code is MIT-licensed to facilitate integration at any level. We seek to make all secure messaging applications more secure and usable.
