[Freedombox-discuss] ManusVexo advancement (Exchanging key's fingerprints via mobile)

[Stefano Maffulli]

Hello all,

I have some good news to report: development of ManusVexo 
proceeds. The app is still in its very early stages but you can now see
how it will send and receive fingerprints using Barcode Scanner.

The manusvexo app creates a QRCode from a random generated fingerprint
and displays it on the screen where another manusvexo instance can read
it. Next step is to make the app work on displaying real fingerprints
from a GnuPG keychain.

The full plan of action is on
http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/MobileKeyVerification

The code can be found on Gitorious:
https://gitorious.org/manusvexo/manusvexo

Contributors are welcome: if you have experience developing on Android
or want to learn, this is a fun little project to get involved with.

cheers
stef

PS: if you want to try it, remember you will need to install
BarcodeScanner on your emulator in order to see it in action.
