Overview

nymphemeral is a tool made for users searching for secure and anonymous communication on the internet.

It is a GUI client that relies on a pseudonymous remailer that communicates to its users by posting messages to a shared mailbox, a Zax-type nym server. Both the server and the client apply an ephemeral encryption layer on their messages based on the Axolotl Ratchet protocol, providing forward and future secrecy to the conversation.

Features

Current Release

The current version of nymphemeral is 1.3.2, a beta, released 2015-05-13.

Protocol Update

nymphemeral 1.3.3 was updated to use pyaxo 0.4 that follows the latest (Oct 1, 2014) version of the protocol, which changed the order of the ratcheting. For that reason, old conversations (created with nymphemeral < 1.3.3) might not work properly after the update. We suggest that users update nymphemeral and restart their conversations by changing their nyms’ ephemeral keys under the Configure Nym tab.
