</h2>
|

|

<p>Delta Chat je nový četovací messenger, který posílá zprávy přes e-mail, pokud možno zašifrované metodou Autocrypt.
|
||
<strong>Netřeba žádného nového účtu. Pro Delta Chat prostě použijete ten, který už máte pro svůj e-mail.</strong></p>

<p>By default, Delta Chat shows all e-mails.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>At “Settings -> Chats &
|
||
Media -> Show Classic E-Mails”, you can change this. You have these options:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>“No, chats only”: Only messages sent by other Delta Chat users and replies to
|
||
your Delta Chat messages are shown. This makes most sense if you use the same
|
||
e-mail account for normal e-mails as well.</li>
|
||
<li>“All”: Delta Chat shows all e-mails that are sent to your email address. This
|
||
makes sense if you want to use Delta Chat for all your e-mails, so no message
|
||
gets lost. This is the default setting.</li>
|
||
<li>“For accepted contacts”: Delta Chat shows all e-mails from contacts with whom
|
||
you already have a chat, but new chats only pop up for Delta Chat messages.
|
||
This helps to decide on a case-by-case basis whether you want to have a
|
||
conversation in Delta Chat or in a “normal” e-mail app.</li>

<li>If a message comes from an unknown contact, it appears as a <strong>request</strong>. You

need to accept the request before you can reply.</li>
|
||
<li>You can also “delete” it if you don’t want to chat with them for now. This
|
||
does <em>not</em> delete the message on the server, only on your device. So you can
|
||
still deal with the message in a different mail app.</li>
|
||
<li>If you delete a request, future messages from that contact will still appear
|

as message request, so you can change your mind. If you really don’t want to

<p>Podobně jako ostatní e-mailové programy, např. Thunderbird nebo Outlook,

program potřebuje heslo k tomu aby mohl posílat e-maily. Samozřejmě, že
|
||
heslo je uloženo pouze na tvém přístroji. Heslo je přenášeno pouze při přihlašení
|
||
k e-mailovému serveru, který má i beztak přístup k tvým e-mailům.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Poskytovatelé e-mailu s podporou OAuth2, např. “gmail.com” či “yandex.ru”,

nepotřebují při přihlašování tvé heslo. V takovém případě je uložen pouze
|
||
vygenerovaný přístupový kód.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Delta Chat má otevřený <a href="https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/blob/master/src/login_param.rs">zdrojový kód</a>,

<p>Use these tools to organize your chats and keep everything in its place:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Pinned chats</strong> always stay atop of the chat list. You can use them to access your most loved chats quickly or temporarily to not forget about things.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Mute chats</strong> if you do not want to get notifications for them. Muted chats stay in place and you can also pin a muted chat.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Archive chats</strong> if you do not want to see them in your chat list any longer.
|
||
Archived chats remain accessible above the chat list or via search.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>When an archived chat gets a new message, unless muted, it will <strong>pop out of the archive</strong> and back into your chat list.
|
||
<strong>Muted chats stay archived</strong> until you unarchive them manually.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>To archive or pin a chat, long tap (Android), use the chat’s menu (Android/Desktop) or swipe to the left (iOS);
|
||
to mute a chat, use the chat’s menu (Android/Desktop) or the chat’s profile (iOS).</p>

|

<li>Since Delta Chat 1.34 you can sometimes see a “green dot” next to the avatar
|
||
of a contact. It means they were “recently seen”.</li>
|
||
<li>In detail: it means, that in the last 10 minutes, Delta Chat has seen them:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>either because they messaged you directly,</li>
|
||
<li>because they wrote something to a group you are both a member of,</li>
|
||
<li>because they sent you a read receipt for a message you wrote,</li>
|
||
<li>or because they sent data to your Delta Chat app by using a
|
||
<a href="#webxdc">webxdc app</a>.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>So this is not a real time online status - and if someone doesn’t answer
|
||
right away even though they seem to be online, don’t worry and give them some
|
||
space ;-)</li>
|
||
<li>On the other hand, others will not always “see that you are online”. If you
|
||
have turned off read receipts, they will not see the green dot until you
|
||
message them or write to a group they’re in as well.</li>

How do disappearing messages work? <a href="#ephemeralmsgs" class="anchor"></a>
|
||
|
||
|
||
</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can turn on “disappearing messages”
|
||
in the settings of a chat,
|
||
at the top right of the chat window,
|
||
by selecting a time span
|
||
between 1 minute and 5 weeks.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Until the setting is turned off again,
|
||
each chat member’s Delta Chat app takes care
|
||
of deleting the messages
|
||
after the selected time span.
|
||
The time span begins
|
||
when the receiver first sees the message in Delta Chat.
|
||
The messages are deleted
|
||
both in each email account on the server,
|
||
and in the app itself.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Note that you can rely on disappearing messages
|
||
only as long as you trust your chat partners;
|
||
malicious chat partners can take photos,
|
||
or otherwise save, copy or forward messages before deletion.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Apart from that,
|
||
if one chat partner uninstalls Delta Chat,
|
||
the messages will not get deleted from their email account.
|
||
They will most likely also not be decryptable anymore
|
||
(as long as they were encrypted in the first place).</p>

<p>As you use an e-mail account for Delta Chat,

how you can delete your account depends on your e-mail provider.

We don’t have any control over your e-mail account,

and can not be read or altered by compromised e-mail servers or Internet providers.
|

Joining green-checkmarked group chats

safely spreads everybody’s encryption information (and green checkmarks)

<p>Contact profiles with green checkmarks

<img style="vertical-align:middle; width:1.5em; margin:1px" src="../green-checkmark.png" alt="green checkmark" />

mean that messaging a contact is currently guaranteed to be end-to-end encrypted.
|
||
Every green-checkmarked contact either did a direct <a href="#howtoe2ee">QR-scan</a> with you
|
||
or was introduced by a another green-checkmarked contact.
|
||
Introductions happen automatically when adding members to groups.
|
||
Whoever adds a contact to a green-checkmarked group becomes an introducer
|
||
to those members who didn’t yet know about the added contact.
|
||
In a contact profile you can tap on the “Introduced by …” text repeatedly
|
||
until you get to the one with whom you directly did a <a href="#howtoe2ee">QR-scan</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Note that in a contact profile you may see and tap introducers
|
||
but there is no green checkmark in the profile title.
|
||
This usually means that the contact <a href="#nocryptanymore">“sent a message from another device”</a>.</p>

<p>Your chat with a contact lost guaranteed end-to-end encryption.
|
||
The green checkmark was removed for this chat and contact when you see this warning.
|
||
<strong>If you find the sudden drop of guaranteed end-to-end encryption
|
||
surprising for this contact then don’t accept the warning!</strong>
|
||
Instead check with your contact through a second channel
|
||
like a video call, other messenger or a phone call,
|
||
to find out what happened.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If your contact actually caused the drop of guaranteed end-to-end encryption
|
||
please see the next paragraphs for common reasons and their mitigations.
|
||
Regardless, all other green-checkmarked chats remain guaranteed end-to-end encrypted
|
||
even if the contact is a member there.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Your contact is using Delta Chat on a second device (phone or laptop)</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If they have another device with a Delta Chat app running,
|
||
they should remove the account from the new device
|
||
and add it <a href="#multiclient">as a second device as described here</a>.
|
||
As soon as they message you afterwards, the warning will be gone
|
||
and guaranteed encryption is established with both devices of your contact.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Your contact reinstalled Delta Chat using their old account login</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If they have <a href="#backup">a backup file</a>,
|
||
they should remove the account from the new device
|
||
and rather import the backup file to re-create their account.
|
||
As soon as they message you afterwards, the warning will be gone
|
||
and guaranteed encryption is re-established for this contact.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If they don’t have a backup file, it’s best to perform a <a href="#howtoe2ee">QR scan</a>
|
||
with your chat partner to re-establish guaranteed end-to-end encryption.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Your contact sent a mail through a webmail interface or another e-mail app
|
||
and will get back to using Delta Chat soon again.</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you are sure that the contact sometimes uses webmail,
|
||
or another mail app lacking end-to-end encryption,
|
||
then you may accept the warning.
|
||
As soon as your contact uses Delta Chat again,
|
||
guaranteed end-to-end encryption will be automatically re-established.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Your contact stopped using Delta Chat entirely</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Sometimes remaining in contact is more important than end-to-end encryption.
|
||
<a href="#tls">“Transport Layer Encryption” (TLS)</a> may still meaningfully protect
|
||
the confidentiality of your messages between your device and the e-mail server.
|
||
But without end-to-end encryption you and your contact are trusting your e-mail server
|
||
to not read or manipulate your messages, and to not hand them to third parties.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In any case, you can not do much else than accept the warning.
|
||
Please also remove the contact from any active green-checkmarked group
|
||
which you can find in “Shared chats” in the Contact profile.
|
||
This spares your contact from getting “unreadable” messages.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If the contact removed Delta Chat because of buggy or undesirable behaviour,
|
||
please consider posting to our <a href="https://support.delta.chat">support forum</a>

<p>Yes, Delta Chat uses a secure subset of OpenPGP
|
||
and only displays a padlock security indicator on a message
|
||
if the whole message is properly encrypted and signed.
|
||
For example, “Detached signatures” are not treated as secure.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>OpenPGP is not insecure by itself.
|
||
Most publically discussed OpenPGP security problems
|
||
actually stem from bad usability or bad implementations of tools or apps (or both).
|
||
It is particularly important to distinguish between OpenPGP, the IETF encryption standard,
|
||
and GnuPG (GPG), a command line tool implementing OpenPGP.
|
||
Many public critiques of OpenPGP actually discuss GnuPG which Delta Chat has never used.
|
||
Delta Chat rather uses the OpenPGP Rust implementation <a href="https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp">rPGP</a>,
|
||
available as <a href="https://crates.io/crates/pgp">an independent “pgp” package</a>,
|
||
and <a href="https://delta.chat/assets/blog/2019-first-security-review.pdf">security-audited in 2019</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We aim, along with other OpenPGP implementors,
|
||
to further improve security characteristics by implementing the
|
||
<a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh/">new IETF OpenPGP Crypto-Refresh</a>
|
||
which was thankfully adopted in summer 2023.</p>

but adopting them would mean breaking end-to-end encryption interoperability

with all other e-mail apps that typically support OpenPGP encryption.
|

So it would not be a light decision to take

and there must be tangible improvements for users.</p>

<p>Delta Chat takes a holistic “usable security” approach

renowned researchers such as <a href="https://teamusec.de">TeamUSEC</a>

<p>No, <a href="https://delta.chat/en/2018-05-15-delta-chat-not-vulnerable-to-efail">Delta Chat never was vulnerable to EFAIL</a>
|

because its OpenPGP implementation <a href="https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp">rPGP</a>

uses Modification Detection Code when encrypting messages
|

and returns <a href="https://docs.rs/pgp/latest/pgp/errors/enum.Error.html#variant.MdcError">an error</a>
|

</h3>
|

<p>Even if your messages are not guaranteed to be end-to-end encrypted,

they are still protected from Internet providers like cell or cable companies.

However, your and your recipient’s e-mail providers

may read, analyze or even modify your messages,
|
||
including any attachments,
|
||
if they are not end-to-end encrypted.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Delta Chat by default uses strict
|
||
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security">TLS encryption</a>
|
||
which secures connections between your device and your e-mail provider.
|
||
All of Delta Chat’s TLS-handling has been independently <a href="#security-audits">security audited</a>.
|
||
Moreover, the connection between your and the recipient’s e-mail provider
|
||
will typically be transport-encrypted as well.
|
||
If the involved e-mail servers support <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8461">MTA-STS</a>
|
||
then transport encryption will be enforced between e-mail providers
|
||
in which case Delta Chat communications will never be exposed in cleartext to the Internet
|
||
even if the message was not end-to-end encrypted.</p>
|

How does Delta Chat protect metadata in messages? <a href="#message-metadata" class="anchor"></a>
|

|
||
|

</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Delta Chat protects most message metadata by putting the following information
|
||
into the end-to-end encrypted part of messages:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Subject line</li>
|
||
<li>Group avatar and name</li>
|
||
<li>MDN (read receipt) requests (<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Chat-Disposition-Notification-To</code>)</li>
|
||
<li>Disappearing message timer (<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Ephemeral-Timer</code>)</li>
|
||
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Chat-Group-Member-Removed</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Chat-Group-Member-Added</code></li>

<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Secure-Join</code> header containing secure join commands</li>
|
||
<li>Notification about enabling location streaming</li>
|
||
<li>WebRTC room URL</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>E-Mail servers do not get access to this protected metadata
|
||
but they do see the message date as well as the message size,
|
||
and, more importantly, the sender and receiver addresses.
|
||
E-mail servers need receiver addresses to route and
|
||
deliver messages to recipient’s devices.</p>

</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Both for protecting against metadata-collecting e-mail servers

as well as against the threat of device seizure
|
||
we recommend to use a Delta Chat optimized <a href="https://delta.chat/serverguide">e-mail server instance</a>
|
||
to create pseudonymous temporary accounts through QR-code scans.
|
||
Note that Delta Chat apps on all platforms support multiple accounts
|
||
so you can easily use action-specific “1-week” or “1-month” accounts next to your “main” account
|
||
with the knowledge that all temporary account data, along with all metadata, will be deleted.
|
||
Moreover, if a device is seized then contacts using temporary e-mail accounts
|
||
can not be identified easily, as compared to messengers which reveal
|
||
phone numbers in chat groups which in turn are often associated with legal identities.</p>

they might also use a non-Autocrypt e-mail app on that account

Does Delta Chat support Perfect Forward Secrecy? <a href="#pfs" class="anchor"></a>
|

|

|

</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>No, Delta Chat doesn’t support Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS).
|
||
This means that if your Delta Chat private decryption key is leaked,
|
||
and someone has collected your prior in-transit messages,
|
||
they will be able to decrypt and read them using the leaked decryption key.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Note, however, that if anyone obtains to your decryption keys,
|
||
they will typically also be able to obtain your messages,
|
||
irrespective if Perfect Forward Secrecy is in place or not.
|
||
The typical real-world situation for leaked decryption keys is device seizure
|
||
which we discuss in our answer <a href="#device-seizure">on metadata and device seizure</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>It is possible that Delta Chat evolves to support Perfect Forward Secrecy,
|
||
because OpenPGP is just a container for encrypted messages
|
||
but encryption key management (and thus key rotation or key “ratcheting”)
|
||
could be organized in flexible ways.
|
||
See <a href="https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/openpgp-dr">Seqouia’s PFS prototype</a>

|

<p>It depends on what is important to you.

Delta Chat <a href="#pfs">does not support PFS</a> like Signal does
|

but it provides <a href="#e2eeguarantee">guaranteed end-to-end encrypted chats</a>

that are safe against compromised servers or corrupted networks.
|
||
Signal and most other PFS-supporting messengers do not provide

a practical scheme for protecting chat groups from network attacks
|
||
which are arguably more worrysome
|
||
than a potential attacker who seizes your phone and private encryption setup
|

but somehow not your messages, yet has a full record of all
|

past encrypted messages.</p>
|

|

<p>In any case, Delta Chat’s end-to-end encryption uses a <a href="#openpgp-secure">secure subset of OpenPGP</a>

<p>Another common error is having the wrong file ending.
|

Use the ASCII armored format and an <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.asc</code> file ending.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Delta Chat podporuje běžné formáty OpenPGP klíčů, nicméně neočekáváme,
|

že soukromé klíče ze všech aplikací budou fungovat. To není cíl, a

ve skutečnosti věttšina nových uživatelů Delta Chatu nemá žádný stávající klíč.
|

Přesto se snažíme podporovat soukromé klíče z co nejvíce možných zdrojů.</p>
|

|
||
<p>Odstranění hesla ze soukromého klíče závisí na programu ze kterého PGP klíč pochází.

Enigmail umí nastavit prázdnou hodnotu hesla v okně Key Management.

|

|

<p>Posílat si kopii zpráv zaručuje, že zprávy se zobrazí na všech současně nastavených
|
||
zařízeních. Pokud máš několik zařízení a nezapneš tuto funkci, uvidíš pouze příchozí
|
||
zprávy, a zprávy odeslané jen z právě používaného přístroje. Ty odeslané z ostatních
|
||
zařízení neuvidíš.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Kopie přijdou nejdříve do Příchozí složky, a pak jsou samočinně přesunuty do složky
|
||
DeltaChat; ne do složky Odeslané. Do složky Odeslané se nepřesouvá nikdy nic.
|
||
protože by to vyžadovalo přenášet zprávu dvakrát (jednou poslat přes SMTP, a jednou
|
||
pro složku Odeslané přes IMAP).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Výchozí hodnota nastavení pro zasílání si kopií je “Ne”.</p>

</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Jediný důvod sledovat složku s odeslanými zprávami je používání jiného e-mailového
|
||
programu (např. Thunderbird) spolu s Delta Chatem, a chtít z tohoto programu také
|
||
psát zprávy do hovorů Delta Chatu.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Nicméně doporučujeme používat Delta Chat Desktop Client; ten lze stáhnout z <a href="https://get.delta.chat">get.delta.chat</a>. Možnost sledování složky “Odeslané”
|
||
může být v budoucnu zrušena. Byla totiž vytvořena v době, kdy Delta Chat Desktop
|
||
nebyl dostupný na všech platformách.</p>

|

|

<p>Někteří lidé užívají Delta Chat jako jediný e-mailový program, a chtějí užívat
|
||
složku Příchozí / Inbox pro všechny zprávy i místo složky DeltaChat. Pokud zrušíš
|
||
“Sleduj složku DeltaChat”, zruš také “přesouvat zprávy do složky DeltaChat”. Jinak
|

hrozí, že mazání zpráv či nastavení na několika zařízeních nebude správně fungovat.</p>

<ul>
|
||
<li>To turn on audio/video calls, go to the “experimental features” section in
|
||
the advanced settings and choose a “Video Chat Instance”.</li>
|
||
<li>When you invite others to a video chat, it is opened in your browser/app at
|
||
once. The others receive an e-mail with a link to the video chat.
|
||
This way, it is also compatible if your chat partners don’t use Delta Chat.</li>
|
||
<li>Note that there is no ring tone on the other side, and your chat partners
|
||
will not get interrupted by a video chat invite.</li>
|
||
<li>You can use any video chat service which allows joining by link. Just add the
|
||
link in the settings.</li>
|
||
<li>For example, to use the flagship Jitsi Meet instance, you could enter
|
||
<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">https://meet.jit.si/$ROOM</code>. The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">$ROOM</code> variable will be a random value;
|

this way, you will have a new random jitsi room every time you call someone.</li>

|

|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>With a Broadcast List you can send a message to many recipents at once; when
|
||
they reply to you, you get the reply in your direct 1:1 chat with them. The
|
||
recipients can’t see each other.</li>
|
||
<li>Technically, it is an E-Mail with many recipients in BCC.</li>
|
||
<li>You can turn on the feature in the “experimental features” section in the
|
||
advanced settings. Then you can create a Broadcast List from the “New Chat”
|
||
dialog.</li>
|
||
<li>In case you are using more than one device, Broadcast Lists are currently not
|
||
synced between them.</li>
|
||
<li>Messages sent to broadcast lists are not encrypted. Encryption would break
|
||
anonymity, because then all recipients would know who else received it
|
||
(Sending individual mails to everyone would be worse for rate limit and network
|

consumption reason).</li>

|

<ul>
|
||
<li>You can turn on location streaming in the “experimental features” section of

||
the advanced settings.</li>
|
||
<li>Now, if you want to share your location in a chat, go to “attach” and select
|
||
“location”. You can now set a time frame in which your location will be
|
||
streamed to your chat partners, between 5 minutes and 6 hours.</li>
|
||
<li>When your location changes, the others in the chat can view it on a map in
|
||
the chat.</li>
|
||
<li>To see the map and view locations of others, you need to turn on the feature
|
||
in the advanced settings.</li>
|
||
<li>This feature will not share your location with anyone except your chat
|
||
partners. <em>But:</em> to show the map, we need to download map tiles from
|
||
mapbox.com, so if you <em>view</em> the map, mapbox.com is asked for the map of a
|
||
specific area. If this is a privacy risk for you, this feature might not be
|
||
for you. We are working on finding a decentralized alternative for Mapbox.</li>
|
||
<li>On desktop, the OS typically can’t determine your location. Instead you can
|

right click on the map and describe a location, which is sent to the chat as

a message, but also appears on the map.</li>

<li>Right now, the database encryption is still very experimental. Don’t rely on

|
||
<li>The database encryption does not yet encrypt the blobs, only the rows and
|

columns of the database. This more or less means that your messages are safe,
|
||
but not your attachments.</li>
|
||
<li>For iOS and Android, the encryption keys are stored in the system keychain.
|
||
This means the encryption is as secure as the operating system it’s running
|

on.</li>
|

umožňují samočinně přesouvat všechny e-maily s hlavičkou “Chat-Version” do složky

DeltaChat. To je něco co za běžných okolností dělá Delta Chat sám.</p>

|

<p>The Delta Chat project underwent four independent security audits in the last years:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>In 2019, <a href="https://includesecurity.com">Include Security</a> analyzed Delta
|
||
Chat’s <a href="https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp">PGP</a> and
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/RustCrypto/RSA">RSA</a> libraries.
|
||
It found no critical issues,
|
||
but two high-severity issues that we subsequently fixed.
|
||
It also revealed one medium-severity and some less severe issues,
|
||
but there was no way to exploit these vulnerabilities in the Delta Chat implementation.
|
||
Some of them we nevertheless fixed since the audit was concluded.
|
||
You can read the <a href="https://delta.chat/assets/blog/2019-first-security-review.pdf">full report here</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>In 2020, <a href="https://includesecurity.com">Include Security</a> analyzed Delta
|
||
Chat’s Rust <a href="https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/">core</a>,
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/async-email/async-imap">IMAP</a>,
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/async-email/async-smtp">SMTP</a>, and
|
||
<a href="https://github.com/async-email/async-native-tls">TLS</a> libraries.
|
||
It did not find any critical or high-severity issues.
|
||
The report raised a few medium-severity weaknesses -
|
||
they are no threat to Delta Chat users on their own
|
||
because they depend on the environment in which Delta Chat is used.
|
||
For usability and compatibility reasons,
|
||
we can not mitigate all of them
|
||
and decided to provide security recommendations to threatened users.
|

|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Beginning 2023, <a href="https://cure53.de">Cure53</a> analyzed both the transport encryption of
|
||
Delta Chat’s network connections and a reproducible mail server setup as

|

<p>Beginning 2023, we fixed security and privacy issues with the “web
|
||
apps shared in a chat” feature, related to failures of sandboxing
|
||
especially with Chromium. We subsequently got an independent security

|
||
<p>Delta Chat does not receive any Venture Capital and
|
||
is not indebted, and under no pressure to produce huge profits, or to
|
||
sell users and their friends and family to advertisers (or worse).
|
||
We rather use public funding sources, so far from EU and US origins, to help
|
||
our efforts in instigating a decentralized and diverse chat messaging eco-system
|
||
based on Free and Open-Source community developments.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Concretely, Delta Chat developments have so far been funded from these sources:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <a href="https://nextleap.eu">NEXTLEAP</a> EU project funded the research
|
||
and implementation of verified groups and setup contact protocols
|
||
in 2017 and 2018 and also helped to integrate end-to-end Encryption
|
||
through <a href="https://autocrypt.org">Autocrypt</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <a href="https://opentechfund.org">Open Technology Fund</a> gave us a
|
||
first 2018/2019 grant (~$200K) during which we majorly improved the Android app
|
||
and released a first Desktop app beta version, and which moreover
|
||
moored our feature developments in UX research in human rights contexts,
|
||
see our concluding <a href="https://delta.chat/en/2019-07-19-uxreport">Needfinding and UX report</a>.
|
||
The second 2019/2020 grant (~$300K) helped us to
|
||
release Delta/iOS versions, to convert our core library to Rust, and
|
||
to provide new features for all platforms.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>The <a href="https://nlnet.nl/">NLnet foundation</a> granted in 2019/2020 EUR 46K for
|
||
completing Rust/Python bindings and instigating a Chat-bot eco-system.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>In 2021 we received further EU funding for two Next-Generation-Internet
|
||
proposals, namely for <a href="https://dapsi.ngi.eu/hall-of-fame/eppd/">EPPD - e-mail provider portability directory</a> (~97K EUR) and <a href="https://nlnet.nl/project/EmailPorting/">AEAP - email address porting</a> (~90K EUR) which resulted in better multi-account support, improved QR-code contact and group setups and many networking improvements on all platforms.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>From End 2021 till March 2023 we received <em>Internet Freedom</em> funding (500K USD) from the
|
||
U.S. Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL).
|
||
This funding supported our long-running goals to make Delta Chat more usable
|
||
and compatible with a wide range of e-mail servers world-wide, and more resilient and secure
|
||
in places often affected by internet censorship and shutdowns.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Beginning 2023 we got accepted in the Next Generation Internet (NGI)
|
||
Entrust program for our “Private Decentralized Apps” proposals.
|
||
Exact amount is to be determined (around 100K EUR).
|
||
This funding supports further developments of <a href="https://webxdc.org">webxdc “apps shared in a chat”</a>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Sometimes we receive one-time donations from private individuals.
|
||
For example, in 2021 a generous individual bank-wired us 4K EUR
|
||
with the subject “keep up the good developments!”. 💜
|
||
We use such money to fund development gatherings or to care for ad-hoc expenses
|
||
that can not easily be predicted for, or reimbursed from, public funding grants.
|
||
Receiving more donations also helps us to become more independent and long-term viable
|
||
as a contributor community.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>Velice významnou pomocí je práce expertů a nadšenců prováděná bez nároku
|
||
na honorář či za minimální odměnu ve prospěch veřejného dobra. Je třeba
|
||
zdůraznit, že bez nich by se Delta Chat nepřibližoval ani zdaleka současnému
|
||
stavu.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>The monetary funding mentioned above is mostly organized by merlinux GmbH in
|
||
Freiburg (Germany), and is distributed to more than a dozen contributors world-wide.</p>

||
