This app hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of Nextcloud.
It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of Nextcloud.
VIBE resolves numerous security and operational challenges inherent in traditional public key cryptosystems.
Features and Benefits
Creates a Private Key (PK) for each subscriber based on its unique identity (user name for Nextcloud users)
Delivers HSM-powered, zero-trust, identity-based encryption and authentication
Authenticates/validates the sender/recipient of a message at the application layer, eliminating “spoofing”
Eliminates the need to protect the public parameters, making man in the middle attacks impossible
No need for maintaining or remembering pass phrases
Enables E2E authenticated, encrypted information sharing to a group, based on user-controlled rights assignment
Includes device management tools for deactivation/activation of stolen, lost, and/or decommissioned devices (available as of Q1/2022)
Encrypted information easily recovered if one’s device is lost, stolen or becomes defective; subscribers keys can be revoked and re-issued on an individual basis
Easily scales to any level, and greatly simplifies key management
Introduces simplified key revocation and security infrastructure management, thus significantly lowering operational cost (40-60% cheaper than PKI certificate-based solutions)
Technical Specifications: supports AGPLv3, MPL 2.0 and Apache License 2.0*
Compatible Operating Systems: Linux; Apple OSX 10.14+; Windows 10+(32/64 Bit); iOS14+; Android 10+
