filepizza copied to clipboard

please clarify encryption in the README

Open pts opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Are files copied by file.pizza end-to-end encrypted in a way that only the sender and the receiver are able to decrypt the file, and other peers (possibly controlled by the attacker whose goal is steal file.pizza file contents) connecting to the same WebTorrent trackers can't?

How (by which ciphers and encryption primitives and when) is this encryption implemented?

I understand that WebRTC encrypts the data in transit, but this doesn't prevent the tracker from publishing IP addresses etc. through which the plaintext can be downloaded.

Please clarify this in the README.
