I’m working towards something for #secure / #private / #simple #P2P #filetransfer. It isnt as “simple” as it could be, im still working on it, but ive got it down to:

Zero-installation as a #PWA

Zero-registration by using local-only storage

#P2P-authentication using #WebCryptoAPI

Fast #datatransfer using #WebRTC, #syncthing, #croc, #sphynctershare and countless others. the key difference in my approach is that its a #webapp thats ready to go without any "real" setup process. you just need a browser.

I’m aware there are things like #SFTP and several other established protocols and tools. I started doing this because I was learning about #WebRTC and it seems suprisingly capable. This isnt ready to replace any existing apps or services.

(Note: I know you guys are typically interested in #opensource code. this project is a spin-off from a bigger project: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat)

Let me know what you think about the app, features and experience you would expect from a tool like this.

SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES TO PREVENT MISLEADING:

These projects are not ready to replace any existing apps or services.

These projects are not peer-reviewed or security audited.

The chat-app is #opensource for transparency (as linked above)... but the file-app is not open souce at all (especially spicy when not reviewed or audited.).

"Our work on personal #AIdatatransfers starts with conversation history, as it is the most concrete and immediate use case. But as many continue to develop & ship more complex articulations of user experiences, the needs for collective work on data models & transfer tools will grow more complex, and important.
It’s going to be hard, but at the same time, ensuring continued human control of our AI experiences is paramount. And #datatransfer is central to that control."

Will the agreement on data transfers to the USA be overturned?

After Donald Trump dismissed members of the data protection supervisory authority PCLOB, data protection NGO noyb is once again sawing away at the EU-US data protection agreement.

“#PCLOB is also instrumental in implementing an agreement between the U.S. and European Union that allows businesses to transfer Europeans' data to the United States.”

The White House has requested that the three Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) resign by end of day Thursday or face termination, a source close to the agency confirmed.

The Register: Boffins ponder paltry brain data rate of 10 bits per second . “Caltech researchers have estimated the speed of human thought to be a mere 10 bits per second, a data rate so leisurely that it underscores the need for further research into brain function and calls into question claims about brain-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence.”
