Decentralized, Untraceable, and Unblockable Communication

Aetherium Q-Com is a zero-trust communication platform engineered for truly private, censorship-resistant messaging. It establishes direct, peer-to-peer connections that are invisible to network monitoring and fortified with a robust, code-level cryptographic integrity system.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: CLIENT INTEGRITY WARNING ⚠️

This project is open-source.
To protect against malicious versions, the client cryptographically verifies its own code integrity on every launch.
Your safety depends on trusting the developer, not the download source.

Ensure the dev_public.key file in your client's directory matches the official public key.
For quick verification, check that the key you downloaded ends with: WW2SSgQC

💭 Core Philosophy

Aetherium Q-Com operates on a simple but powerful principle: "Never Trust, Always Verify." It assumes all networks are hostile. There are no central servers to attack, monitor, or shut down. True security is achieved not just with strong encryption, but through a design that produces no discernible footprint. This allows it to operate undetected where other platforms are blocked, making it ideal for users facing sophisticated, state-level surveillance.

✨ Key Features

🔐 Zero-Trust Architecture The client assumes all networks are hostile. It verifies its own code integrity on launch, uses a cryptographically sealed profile vault for your identity, and employs a community-based ostracism system to build decentralized trust.	🖼️ Undetectable Invitations Utilizes steganography to hide encrypted, one-time-use connection data within standard media files (images, audio, or video). This "invisible ink" method provides perfect plausible deniability.
🌐 Serverless & Unblockable Communication is direct peer-to-peer, creating a transient and moving network that is impossible to centrally block, monitor, or disrupt. The network only exists where its users are connected.	🔒 Quantum-Resistant Encryption Secured with AES-GCM and the CRYSTALS-Kyber Key Encapsulation Mechanism. This provides forward secrecy and protects against attacks from both classical and future quantum computers.

🚀 Installation & Usage

🖥️ Windows Download and run install.bat. It will handle all dependencies automatically. Run run.bat to launch the application.

🐧 Linux & 🍏 macOS Make scripts executable: chmod +x *.sh Run installer: ./install.sh Launch app: ./run.sh

🤝 How It Works: The Connection Flow

1️⃣ Create Invitation (Host): The host selects any media file (image, audio, or video) and enters a secret passphrase. The app generates a new media file with the connection data invisibly woven into it.

2️⃣ Share Invitation: The host sends this single, innocent-looking file to their contact through any conventional channel (email, standard messaging app, etc.).

3️⃣ Use Invitation (Connect): The recipient loads the invitation file, enters the same secret passphrase, and connects. The app extracts the bootstrap information and establishes a secure, end-to-end encrypted session with the host.
