A framework for creating zero-knowledge web applications
Zero Knowledge applications offer meaningful privacy assurance to end users because the servers running the application cannot read the data created and stored by the application.
To learn more, check out the Crypton website.
To get started with Crypton development, you will need node.js v0.8.x with npm,
and uglify-js. You will also need a postgresql server running on localhost (or
edit the config file in the server/ directory).
Clone the repository and run make to install the rest of the dependencies and
run the tests.
There are files describing the high-level specification in the client/doc/
and server/doc/ directories, but currently, the best way to get a complete
picture of the Crypton system is by understanding the database schema, in
server/lib/stores/postgresql/setup.sql, which has lots of explanatory
comments.

Check out the code from our GitHub repository! This is where we are keeping our wiki and issue tracker for the project, along with the JavaScript reference implementation.
If you are not a developer but would like to contribute in other ways, consider:
- Becoming a Zero Knowledge Privacy Ambassador
- Purchasing from companies that provide a product with meaningful privacy built in.
- Contacting the creators of the software products you use, and making it clear you would appreciate them including privacy features.
