A pepper is just a salt that is "secret", i.e. not stored next to the hashes being salted. It indeed provides the desired defense-in-depth, in that a breach of the database does not allow spoofing requests to the application; a su

How does this compare to FOKS ( https://foks.pub )? Do both projects accomplish similar goals? Edit: I see that this is primarily intended for federated social networks, but should be reusable for other uses. However for other e2e

NPM and other Node.js package managers happily deduplicate dependencies are compatible within the specified version constraints. So if 3 different modules in your build specifies `foo^2` and two other modules specify `foo^3`, in general you

Quick note: your website front page currently says > Our open source code has been audited by reputed cryptographers. I think you probably mean "reputable", as "reputed" inspires a lot less confidence.
