Is Ockam a good fit for E2EE sync between a user's devices?

Hi,

I'm wondering if Ockam is a good fit for E2EE sync between a user's devices? For example, let's says an app Foo has mobile and desktop versions and wants to provide a sync feature between one user's devices over an E2EE channel. Can Ockam be used to facilitate the E2EE messaging part of the sync?

Hi @agostbiro 👋 sorry for missing your post and not replying sooner.
Yes the Ockam Rust library would be great to build something like that. Here's an example that you may find helpful https://github.com/build-trust/ockam/tree/develop/documentation/use-cases/end-to-end-encryption-with-rust

Would love to learn more about what your building.

Thanks @mrinalwadhwa ! I've looked at the example, but not so clear unfortunately. Is there any more info on how the mutual authentication and the nodes work? (https://docs.ockam.io/reference/nodes is 404)

I'm building SealVault which is basically 1password for Web3 and will need a E2EE sync channel with perfect forward secrecy.

@agostbiro A lot has happened with Ockam since this thread happened.

You may want to try out some of our examples again, but from our new docs site. Are you still working on this project?
