Privy Blog | Privy and Stripe: Bringing crypto to everyone
We started Privy a little over three years ago to make it easy for any developer to build better products on crypto rails. Whether crypto is core to your app or simply a new layer of functionality, a good crypto product should just feel like a good product, period. By making crypto usable, we help make it useful for everyone.

BeeKEM: Decentralized, Secure and Efficient Group Key Agreement
Group key agreement protocols are essential for modern secure messaging. Most existing group key agreement protocols assume a centralized model with a semi-trusted service that mediates the communication. This is efficient, but problematic for some important applications, since a central service can be a choke point for surveillance and censorship. There is a nascent literature on decentralized group key agreement that avoids such reliance, but existing proposals either do not scale, with update costs linear or quadratic in the group size, or lack proofs of security. Centralized protocols can offer much lower (logarithmic) cost. We present BeeKEM, the first decentralized group key agreement protocol with logarithmic update cost in the common case (degrading to linear in the worst case) and proofs of security. We provide an open-source implementation and demonstrate that it is competitive with OpenMLS. BeeKEM opens the door for a range of communication and collaboration applications offering not only end-to-end encryption, but also metadata privacy and censorship resistance.

Key Agreement for Decentralized Secure Group Messaging with Strong Security Guarantees
Secure group messaging protocols, providing end-to-end encryption for group communication, need to handle mobile devices frequently being offline, group members being added or removed, and the possibility of device compromises during long-lived chat sessions. Existing work targets a centralized network model in which all messages are routed through a single server, which is trusted to provide a consistent total order on updates to the group state. In this paper we adapt secure group messaging for decentralized networks that have no central authority. Servers may still optionally be used, but they are trusted less. We define decentralized continuous group key agreement (DCGKA), a new cryptographic primitive encompassing the core of a decentralized secure group messaging protocol; we give a practical construction of a DCGKA protocol and prove its security; and we describe how to construct a full messaging protocol from DCGKA. In the face of device compromise our protocol achieves forward secrecy and post-compromise security. We evaluate the performance of a prototype implementation, and demonstrate that our protocol has practical efficiency.
Making end-to-end encrypted AI chat feel like logging in
We want private AI chat to be simple. Yet today, many end-to-end encrypted experiences still have a level of friction that make them feel like they’re from another era: it usually either involves a long seed phrase users are asked to “store securely,” insecure password based encryption, or apps that aren’t cross-device and lose your data periodically (on reinstall, browser cache clear, etc).
