Comment on Show HN: Briefing – Anonymous, secure, open source WebRTC group video chatparent

Comments

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take Olm/Matrix and Signal into consideration, although I believe for the described purpose of Briefing the current implementation is sufficient and secure.

Not sure if this is possible with the current WebRTC api, but if you could expose the dtls public keys for the current and remote sessions somewhere, that would help to reduce the risk of MITM attacks. Users would at least have the option of manually verifying keys through another channel.

edit: it looks like you can find info in the RTCSessionDescription.sdp property. The remoteDescription and localDescription should each have key fingerprints in lines with "a=fingerprint:..."
