About

This is the frontend of a project of mine, named "Minerva". An end-to-end encrypted email service powered by Solana blockchain.

I did this project mostly to learn how to implement end-to-end encryption.

Encryption

The frontend is responsible for encrypting and decrypting data, while the blockchain is only used to store public information about the encryption, key exchange, and the email itself.

I used AES-256 bit with Counter Mode.

Key Exchange

I used diffie-helmann algorithm for the key exchange, each user get a public an private key at the registration moment. Only the public key is stored on the blockchain.

Run the project

Run the following commands on your terminal, at the root of the project:

yarn
yarn dev

Decrypting an email

Simply paste your private key - the one that you got from registration - on the input and click the 'decrypt' button.
