Welcome to HermesP2P
Safe. Secure. Soverign.
What is HermesP2P?
HermesP2P is a lightweight, peer-to-peer messaging platform designed to connect people through secure, transient communication. Think of it as a decentralized chat network where your messages aren’t stored by any server, and privacy is built right into the foundation.
- Ephemeral Communication: Messages are transient and do not persist. Once received, they are no longer stored or accessible.
- Decentralized Network: No central servers or authority—just a network of connected peers exchanging messages securely.
- Private and Secure: Built on PGP encryption, HermesP2P ensures your messages stay private and secure.
How Does It Work?
1. Public/Private Key Model:
Every user generates a unique public/private keypair using Ed25519.
- Public Keys: Used by others to send you encrypted messages.
- Private Keys: Stay securely stored on your device and are never shared with servers or peers.
2. Channels and Personal Messages:
- Public Channels: Join topic-based public conversations. Channels like "general" or "tech" are available by default, and you can subscribe to new channels by adding their identifiers to your configuration.
- Private Channels: Require access keys, AES-256 symmetric keys. Share them with trusted individuals to create private, secure groups.
- Personal Messages: Direct communication encrypted specifically for you, ensuring only the intended recipient can read the message.
Getting Started
You have two options to begin exploring the HermesP2P network:

Your keys and configuration always stay local. HermesP2P ensures that your privacy and control remain in your hands.
