Как я написал E2EE-мессенджер на Spring Boot и WebCrypto — и почему сервер не видит сообщения

Привет, Хабр.Я Java-разработчик и в основном работаю с backend: Spring Boot, базы данных, интеграции, авторизация, WebSocket — всё то, что обычно находится за интерфейсом.В какой-то момент я поймал себя на мысли: я каждый день пользуюсь мессенджерами, но плохо понимаю, как они устроены внутри. Окей, JWT, WebSocket, PostgreSQL, Redis — это понятно. Но что технически означает фраза “end-to-end encryption”? Как сервер доставляет сообщения, если он не должен их читать? Где живут... Read more

After three long years of rumours, reports, leaks, a couple of official teases, we finally have confirmation that Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake is real, under the guise of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. But it seems Resynced isn't the only Assassin's Creed remake title in development, at least if you believe the chatter from a couple of reliable leakers. Read more Read more

After an hour with Directive 8020, I worry the latest Dark Pictures game feels a little flat

Supermassive's "party horror" games, as I like to call them, have become a guilty pleasure of mine. This series famously began with Until Dawn in 2015 and peaked with House of Ashes in 2021, if you ask me. (Although I enjoyed the schlocky Quarry in 2022 as well.) It's a series pitched like an interactive horror movie, where you try to shepherd a group of ill-fated characters through a slasher... Read more
