croodle

Croodle is a web application to schedule a date or to do a poll on a general topics. Stored data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.

This is an alpha version. Changes could brake backward compatibility.

Croodle is inspired by ZeroBin: https://github.com/sebsauvage/ZeroBin and of course by Doodle.

Security notice

As any other web application based end-to-end encryption Croodle could be attacked by an injection of maluse code on serverside or threw a man-in-the-middle attack. If an attacker could inject for example JavaScript, he would be able to read decrypted content in the browser and send it to a server under his controll.

Therefore you have to

  • use an ecrypted connection to the server hosting Croodle. In most use cases this will be an httpS connection. We strongly recomend people hosting Croodle to restrict non encrypted connections to Croodle.
  • trust the server.

You could check for an attack like this by using an development tool for your browser and check if unencrypted data of your poll is send over network or is stored in a cookie or the localStorage of your browser for later send.
