TextSecure Chromium Implementation

This is very early stuff and exists primarily to get the crypto in place. This does not currently work, dont bother trying to use it seriously yet

Getting Started with Development

These steps are for development only.

  • Clone the repo
  • Open Chrome
  • Go to chrome://extensions/
  • Enable developer mode (checkbox on the top right)
  • Click "Load unpacked extension..."
  • Point to the repo's directory

Note that for development, the TextSecure staging environment uses a self-signed certificate, which Chrome will complain is insecure. So first visit https://textsecure-service-staging.whispersystems.org/ in your browser and allow the certificate.

Now, in the extension's options, you can register for TextSecure:

  • Select "Register" under "I'm new to TextSecure".
  • Enter a real phone number (Google Voice numbers work too) and country combination and choose to send an SMS. You will receive a real SMS.
  • Enter the verification code you received by SMS.

You should now be able to use the extension. If you need to reset your development environment, open a browser console within the extension options page (or inspect background.html) and execute localStorage.clear() to clear out the settings.

Tests

Please write tests! Our testing framework is mocha and our assertion library is chai:

Tips/Tricks

  • Loading the test.html page may read, write or clear localStorage. To avoid having to choose between running tests and preserving your existing messages, keys, and other extension data, much of the test suite can be run by starting a local webserver in the repository root, e.g. python -m SimpleHTTPServer. You can then access the test page at http://0.0.0.0:8000/test.html.
