Encrypted Group chat works on principle of using a single shared secret, which is used to encrypt all the messages in a given channel.
|
||||
|
||||
Only the participants of the group will know that secret, so only the participants can send and read the messages to that channel.
|
||||
|
||||
On Nostr Console, you can create an encrypted group/channel, and then add people to it. The app will automatically send the shared secret to any participant you add to the given encrypted channel.
|
||||
|
||||
Typically, this is how you'd use the encrypted group chat:
|
||||
|
||||
As Creator of Group
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Using Nostr Console's encrypted channel menu, select 'create encrypted channel'. It will ask you for the name, about, picture of the channel, which you can add. On doing this, a new channel is created, and you are shown its channel id.
|
||||
2. You can now enter the channel by using the 'open channel' from menu, and entering the channel name, or the initial letters of the channel id.
|
||||
3. Once you are in the channel, it will at top show you the participants. Right now you as the creator are the only participant.
|
||||
4. Type '/add <pubkey>' where pubkey is a 64 byte long pubkey of the user you want to add ( and without the quotes). Press enter. On doing this, this user is automatically sent a Direct Message ( type 4 for now) which will have information (and the shared secret) about the new channel where you have added them.
|
||||
5. Add more people.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As Member of Group
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
1. If someone has added you to a encrypted group, you will see that channel listed in the encrypted menu section.
|
||||
2. You can join any of such channels by choosing 'join an encrypted channel' from menu, and then entering the channel name or first few letters of the channel id.
