I’m thinking about building a service like whatsapp in HTML (just to practice my skills). The idea is to encrypt the conversations in a way that is easy for an user. I thought about RSA-encryption, but than the user would have to give a password or something to a friend. What other ways are there? I never worked with encryption, so this really is more about research…
Thanks for your ideas,

P.S.: I know stackoverflow doesn’t like discussions too much (at least they say), but I really need a starting point 🙂
You can generate public/private key-pair at both users side, automatically. Then, the users wouldn’t have to give anything to themselves physically. There are several libraries to do this, I think though.
