Title: [ANN]CONNECT-An open source P2P encrypted messaging & onchain bitcoin wallet APP
Post by: Connect.im on March 10, 2017, 01:44:26 PM
My name is Rob. Product Manager of Connect.im. Today,I have the honour to introduce a new product that developed by our team. Named Connect.IM (http://Connect.IM)

What is CONNECT ?

Connect is an open source point-to-point encrypted instant messaging APP.

You can use CONNECT to send texts, voices, pictures, videos and even Bitcoin.
In both one-on-one chat and group chat, all the messages including text, picture, voices, video, etc. are sent via the shared key encryption negotiated by both sides of the chat.
 
Any third party other than the both sides including the server can't decrypt the messages.

What make Connect secure?

As known as bitcoin, if there is no private key, then no one can steal your bitcoins.
Similarly, user’s ID of Connect are generated based on BTC algorithm, if there is no private key, then no one can not steal the messages of the chat.

Connect uses advanced and open-source symmetric encryption algorithms to secure both parties' information and the communication between the client and the server, and anyone can authenticate.
 
The end-to-end encrypted communication between both sides of the session as well as the encrypted communication between client-side and server uses the key negotiation method to make double layer encryption, with the steps as below:


 
1. Session initiator_A use the agreed ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) locally to generate a pair of key(Public_key_A,Private_key_A) and a 512-bit random number salt, and send the random number “saltA” and “Public_key_A” to receiver_B after AES256-GCM encrypted
 
2  The receiver_B receives “PublicKey_A” and “saltA” after decrypt. then use the same ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) generate a pair of key(Public_Key_B,Private_Key_b) and a 512-bit random number salt, and send the random number “saltB” and “Public_key_B” to initiator_A after AES256-GCM encrypted.

3 Initiator_A get “saltB” and “Public_key_B”. Then both initiator_A and receiver_B get ECDH_Key

ECDH_Key = ECDH(PrivateKey_A, PublicKey_B) = ECDH(PrivateKey_B, PublicKey_A)

4 Then the PBKDF2key expansion algorithm to obtain the negotiated key "K" by ECDH_KEY and random number salts of both sides.

  Shared_key = PBKDF2(HMAC-SHA512, ecdhKey, saltA^saltB, pow(2, n), 256) ,(n=12)

5 The key agreement is completed, and both sides of the AB erase their session key pairs from their respective memory. (ECDH_Key,PublicKey_A,PublicKey_B)

6 Sessions following, both sides of the AB encrypt and decrypt messages using 256bit Shared_key and AES-256-GCM algorithm.

7. The negotiated key is updated when a new session is created each time.

 
The encrypted communication channel established by the above process ensures that communication contents are not leaked under the condition that the network flow is completely monitored. Even if the private key of server-side is mastered by the monitor, the monitor can't decrypt the actual communication contents () according to the private key of server and all network flows, and even can't know the person who is logged in or the side to whom the messages are sent. So this solution has the nature of forward secrecy because the session key pair will be erased by both sides from their respective memories after completion of negotiation.

Why do we need CONNECT?

Different from other instant messaging tools provided by other Internet giants, Connect offers a higher level of security and privacy  protection.

It protects your chatting contents from being eavesdropped by any third party such as employers and government.
 
It protects your personal data such as telephone numbers and friends from being utilized by any third party such as marketing personnel and advertisers.  
 
Considering "PRISM" scandal as well as multiple network fraud cases caused by information leakage, each of us should defending "freedom of speech" and "personal privacy”.
 
So Connect is suitable for everyone.

Why Connect APP contain bitcoin wallet?

First, user’s ID of Connect are generated based on BTC algorithm, and the user system is established based on decentralized BTC blockchain network.
 
So, Connect APP itself can be used as Bitcoin Wallet.
 
As a decentralized financial network which do not rely on any institution or government, Bitcoin is highly consistent with the product philosophy of "Connect". Connect doesn't wish users' data to be monitored by any institution.
 
It is greatly convenient for BTC users to use the interactive mode based on social network and chat session to realize BTC transfers.You don’t have to remember the bitcoin address of your friends.Instead that transferring the bitcoins is as simple as sending a message.

It is onchain or offchain bitcoin wallet? It is security?

Because the private key of user is stored in the device locally, and each BTC transaction should be made by the private key signature of the user, this is a onchain wallet.The server does not store the user's private key, ensuring that the user can fully control their own funds.

But in many cases, users are easy to lose their private key. We provide a compromise, users can bind their mobile phone, after verified, set a password for encrypted private key and backup on server, server does not store user’s password. Even if the phone is lost, user can use password decrypt and recovery the private key after new phone verified.

If the user has doubts, can also choose “Generate a local account”, keeping private key by oneself com fully.

Transfer bitcoin as simple as sending a message

Transfer bitcoin as simple as sending a message. You don’t have to ask your friend’s bitcoin address in other way. Send bitcoin or payment request in the chat window just like sending a message.

You can sent bitcoin link via other IM APP such as "Whatsapp" "Messabfer" "Wechat". your friend who got this link would got bitcoin ofter install Connect APP.

What is Lucky Packet?

Lucky packet is a kind of function sending BTC to your friends as a gift.
 
Your friends won't know the BTC quantity they have obtained untill after opening the red envelope. In the group chat, the BTC quantity in each lucky packet is randomly generated.
 
You can send lucky packet in chat or send a lucky packet link via other IM APP such as "Whatsapp" "Messanger" “Wechat".

I was awaiting such a project since a long time, congratulations !

Please, could you tell me if you worked on website integration ? i would be happy to test/work on it, if you have any repository.
I aleready had a quick fetch in the API, i will need more time to read it, but i am too impatient to know more about.

Good work by Connect team, I've been seen your advert and I will try out your app. But my concern is this, I read that more than 90% of the apps on Android platfrom are vulbnerable do you think your apps is totally save on this plaform.

What I was expecting is a message that will save destroy it self after some time and will be difficult to find the history of the message

Read their API :  https://www.connect.im/developer

They have implement a "burn after reading" method, i suppose it has something to do with "message destruction".

Sadly i think this project is not made for web interfaces as i can't find JS or PHP methods.

Thank you. we  plan to be a open development platform. Developer can make bitcoin program base on CONNECT. Yeah, a lot work waitting for us.

this looks interesting.

as my first action i i scanned the code on the website.
https://luckypacket.connect.im

now it only shows receiving. how long will this take?

and now i cant test test other features of the app while "receiving". the app is stuck.

EDIT:
after  a restart of the app and loging out and in it just says "not connected". i am using the OSX version with a iPod-Touch.

@op

Very good project, i have few questions:

1 - how connect.im is different then circle.com ?
2 - where you hosting user's wallets? do you have dedicated servers?
3 - what % you charge when connect.im user's send or receive bitcoin ?
4-  do you allow user's to send btc out of connect.im wallets ?

regards

Interesting Project.Don't understand why you have already started advertising the app when you could have gotten equal interests by just people who check this thread regularly.
Now,what's your business model ?
How are you planning to make money ?
Hiring any more developers ? I'm certainly interested in documenting the stuff.

Post by: Connect.im on March 12, 2017, 01:42:42 PM
@ vlom. Lcukt packet use a  transit address on server. It will transfer to your wallet after all packets are opened or 48 hours deadline. for example. you send 50 packets. only 20 packets opened. then server will send 20 packets's bitcoin to receiver.remaining bitcoin will return to your wallet.

Connect requires iOS 8.0 or later. we will test on ipod soon. thank you.

@cryptoproject

1 how connect.im is different then circle.com ?

  As i known circle is a offchain wallet, Connect is onchain. and circle messges is not encrypted.

2 where you hosting user's wallets? do you have dedicated servers?
   wallet 's private key stored in the device locally. yes we have distributed servers.


3 what % you charge when connect.im user's send or receive bitcoin ?
   "We do not charge fees. the fees when transfer is bitcoin network's fee."


4-  do you allow user's to send btc out of connect.im wallets ?  
  "Yes, of course. The server does not store the user's private key, ensuring that the user can fully control their own funds."

@ Joel_Jantsen

Yes ,we plan to hire more developer after open source. Hiring iOS Android engineer and Marketing Manager. Post your CV to info@connect.im

i have the same problem on with the android version. i tried it ion my jolla and with my blackberry. at least i managed to import the private key and now have more than one device that is not working......

and https://luckypacket.connect.im shows only Packets Time Out!.

i think you should double check your stuff and then start again.

Importing privat key works again. but still no connection. => there is no difference between iPhone and iPod. The OS they have is 9.something.

i will check if switching to english before the installation helps.

i you want to honour my beta testing you can send my some btc at this address: 1KLbPwYq4tw92YZSnWCwizQtqSvWnubb3M thank you.

and no i tried with an iPhone. Yes i have a lot of devices......

Importing privat key works again. but still no connection. => there is no difference between iPhone and iPod. The OS they have is 9.something.

i will check if switching to english before the installation helps.

i you want to honour my beta testing you can send my some btc at this address: 1KLbPwYq4tw92YZSnWCwizQtqSvWnubb3M thank you.

Here is free bitcoin lucky packets.

changing to english before the installation solves the language problem.

how should i get a lucky packet if all my devices dont have a connection...

Seems nice, but the Google app is in Chinese (?) for me?
http://imgur.com/a/bfILz

I will check it. What's your phone language. And android version?

i have the same problem on with the android version. i tried it ion my jolla and with my blackberry. at least i managed to import the private key and now have more than one device that is not working......

and https://luckypacket.connect.im shows only Packets Time Out!.

i think you should double check your stuff and then start again.

The lucky packet link has been update now. It will update every 48hours.

i suggest you change your phone language to english before install connect. after install and siginup ,change back to Dutch or another.

we will check this soon.
Language is Dutch now. But I can't click Verify my phone after writing my phone number..

if you used your phonenumber once. i think you have to scan the private key. i was only able to use my mobile number once. after that i had to scan.

How does Connect audit its code?
Ensuring security and privacy is our biggest mission. Therefore, we review our code internally on a regular basis and all code of client  open source on github.com. Anyone can download and audit.

but the link to GitHub just leads to: https://github.com

i did not find your project. please give us the link.

Totally useless.

Just looking at your avatar there,
I see why there is alot of interest in this app with all the other ones people have relied on for this very service in whatsapp and telegram but knowing they are unsecure now they probably won't want to use them anymore. :-\
But my real question for this app in messaging is:
Wouldn't this be considered TOR of the IM world?

Well I'm the one known as T22 23 24 25, waiting for the next round to claim it all again  :D

Thanks for the mentions  ;)

CONNECT looks like it is a product of BITMAIN (BITMAIN_Rob - Product Manager of Hashnest), so I guess its reputable - They forced the Hashnest Trollbox to use it a couple of days ago.

The idea looks good at first but it seems flawed... "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU", and CONNECT app doesn't watch us right - do they track us though?

So I verify my phone number - it's hashed before it reaches CONNECT servers (probably not cos how do they send SMS's to hashed numbers) - They now have our phone number, linked to a bitcoin address.

You then go into the APP, goto contacts and you allow it access to your contacts (it does ask!)

According to CONNECT website:

Quote
Contact list: No contact lists are stored when synchronizing contacts. The phone numbers from your address book get anonymized (hashed) before they reach the server. Once the comparison is finished, they are immediately deleted from the server.

What Comparison? - Checking to see if any of the hashed phone numbers match other CONNECT users?

Sounds like Big Brother - Doesn't have to be government, Business love tracking data - especially tracking data related to digital currencies

I know you don't have to verify/bind a phone number but from what I understand, you can't claim luckypackets without it.

If you manage to get CONNECT working feel free to come join my Trollbox

Can any of you share the groups you created and lets see where we can join, they offer 1-2 BTC for a busy group. I don't know whether they'd give that 1-2 btc to the members but just wanted to check how this app works. Its a pretty cool idea. I remember there was an ICO about messenger too, I don't know if this is it.  But this app is a killer. Could be a good marketplace for shady individuals.

Seems interesting. I haven't downloaded the app yet (thanks to my low internal memory device), but soon I am going to try this messenger. I never heard of that 1-2 btc reward but it doesn't matter because I am expecting ultimate user experience from the screenshots. It would be great if we have any bitcointalk mates group on this app.

I sent you a pm

Kindly check.

Regards

Edit :

I've downloaded the app from google play store but i am unable to verify my number.I put the phone number with country code but the verify button still dead. any solution?

There have been lots of reports of android not working at that exact point ... try this (might differ I did it from the iOS APP)

Quote
On the first page you will be asked for a phone number, if you don't want to right down the bottom click "import your backup sigIn/Up local account"

Click Sign In/Up Local account

Take a picture of something random, this will be your Avatar in Connect.IM

Enter your username and password and click Completed

Click "Backup encrypted private key" - Save to photos or email it

Click Start encrypted chat

You've Signed Up!

Now scan a QR to join a group/claim lucky packet etc (goto Contacts > + at top)

To collect LuckyPackets you have to verify a phone number - can be done in Settings

Just realised you can create a user from an electrum(or other) privkey too ...

Just goto "import your backup sigIn/Up local account" > Scan backup > Scan PrivKey QR from your desired wallet .. sooo many possibilities would love it to hit github!

Feature Request : [If isn't part of the current development plan]
Arching the messages : Almost all chat networks do that but if you can provide a way to make them more secure,like storing the archived message over a network where only  two way encryption is achieved like between the person who wishes to read the archived message and the server.I mean if I wish to give access to a third party to my archived messages,there has to be a secure way out!

I found your project through forum ad, actually it is very cool idea because this is encrypted messaging system like some old projects, like Wings.

Cool app guys. Just tried to send some BTC to a friend who also has the app installed and it worked great.
Are there any plans to make a macOS desktop client that can be synced with the mobile app?

I'm on iOS.

I try to send lucky packed. I only have the possibility to send by link (While I have several contacts in my address book).

I copy and pasted the link into the chat.

I click on lucky packet before my contact and I got my own lucky packet !?!

Now i can see me (like another contact) on chats with mention "Stranger" !?!

could it be possible that they just want to collect phone numbers. that they want to try to break 2fa? a lot of people receive messages on their mobile phone with 2fa codes. and if you can take over a phone number you will have access to the 2fa code.

seems great! Keep oN!  8)

But why it must be a wallet as well, instead of just a secure messaging app?

Just installed the app.Well developed.A few questions

1.Where is an option to start a group on the app ?
2.Who controls the private keys for the address on my connect wallet ?
3.I signed up through my phone number,would my added friends or group can see my phone number ?

1 Select one more friends on a chat box.

2 Private is control fully by user.

3 All phone number  hashed, no one can see it.

That sounds great! I'm trying to get my developer friends group off telegram and promote other local groups to start using connect.If I read the first post correctly,you sponsor 1-2 bitcoins for group chats right ? I'm looking forward to it.

i ask about the missing GitHub link a few days ago. and i did not get an answer. and now you write that you will wait for 1-3 month. because of code review. if you show the code to all now than the review can start.

this all sounds fishy. how should i trust you?

It is project ran by Bitmain, well Bitmain_Rob is who announced it - he was the creator of snowball.io, now Hashnest. (Bitmain respond to their official Connect ANN on their own forum - https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/4027)

I would actually like to use the APP to replace a slack channel but it would need to be opensourced before I even consider that, guess we're just their beta testers - atleast I got paid with luckypackets, where's the next bunch for me to claim  :D

hmmm ...

if the title itself - '[ANN]CONNECT-An open source P2P encrypted messaging & onchain bitcoin wallet APP' - specifies opensource ... then it should have the code - and subsequently the changes that are mentioned above - all in the git ...

there is no git - no open source product - no indication of whether it will be ...

looks like a great product - but EVERYONE needs to be wary of ANYONE that claims they are providing a great product ( especially where btc / money is concerned ) in an opensourced environment - when the source is no where to be found ...

a claim that it will be available in 1-3months is a farce in itself ...

just be careful guys and gals ...

had they stated its a CLOSED source product - and developed by a REPUTABLE company ... then ok ... but everyone STILL needs to be wary and have their eyes open ... especially from a new account - with a new 'company' - and a new product - with no source after stating there is sourcecode ...

not good connect.im ... not good at all ...

there were projects like this before which i think had asked for funds here in bitcointalk, i can't remember if it did push through but this one is already good. do we get to invest to this project or is there a token for this already? i don't get why is this advertised in the forum -  will the dev team be earning through bitcoin transactions if we get to use its wallet?
