# ZeroKeepChat

> ZeroKeepChat (https://zerokeepchat.com) is a secure, zero-trace ephemeral messaging, random stranger chat, temporary room, live disappearing photo, and peer-to-peer audio & video calling web application designed with a privacy-first architecture.

ZeroKeepChat allows users to jump in instantly as anonymous guests or authenticate via Google Sign-In, match randomly with strangers in Discover mode, create ad-hoc temporary rooms protected by host knock approvals, exchange real-time encrypted messages (ChaCha20), share disappearing live camera pictures, and conduct encrypted voice and video calls, leaving absolute zero history, call logs, or stored data when the session ends.

## Core Features & Privacy Model

- **Zero Data Stored**: Messages, photos, rooms, and calls are never saved to persistent databases or disks. All active chat data exists purely within volatile memory during active browser sessions and dissolves immediately upon closure.
- **Account-Optional Guest Access**: Instant access to Discover features (Random Chat & Temporary Rooms) with zero registration, login, or personal identifiers required.
- **Random Stranger Chat**: Instant matchmaking queue to talk to strangers. One-tap "Skip" flow seamlessly matches you with someone new.
- **Temporary Rooms & Host Knock Gates**: Create rooms with 6-character codes, invite anyone without an account, and approve each person who knocks. Real-time host controls enable instant member removal and live socket ban severance.
- **Room-Scoped Aliases**: Cryptographically isolated participant aliases (`a_...`) ensure Firebase UIDs, real names, and emails are never leaked to strangers, ensuring complete anonymity.
- **Live Ephemeral Photos**: Direct in-moment camera capture and sharing via binary frame streaming. Photos are transmitted in real time and permanently destroyed after viewing.
- **Encrypted Audio & Video Calls**: Direct peer-to-peer (P2P) WebRTC encrypted voice and video calling with zero server call recording and zero call logs kept.
- **Client & Session Security**: 256-bit revocable socket admission tickets with zero server-side message or call archiving.
- **Free & Web-Based**: Accessible from any modern desktop or mobile browser without app store installation.
