VeliKey Messenger

VeliKey Messenger is private 1:1 messaging with end-to-end encryption you don't have to think about. β’ End-to-end encrypted. Messages are encrypted on your device and can only be read by you and the person you're talking to. β’ Forward secrecy. Every message uses a fresh key (X3DH + Double Ratchet), so a key compromise can't unlock your past conversations. β’ Minimal retention. The server stores messages only as opaque ciphertext until they're delivered, then deletes them. No plaintext, ever. β’ No account, no tracking. No phone number or email required. Add a contact by scanning their QR code in person (or sharing a contact code). No ads, no analytics SDKs, no contact-list upload. β’ Built on VeliKey Aegis. Messenger is a working demonstration of provider-managed cryptography: the operator can upgrade the whole fleet's cipher suites centrally, with staged rollouts, without an app update. VeliKey Messenger is an early release from VeliKey Technologies.
