A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

what would be the best way to encrypt a cast, so that only a set of selected fids can decrypt it?

(ofc not in warpcast, warpcast would only see gibberish)

A rudimentary v1:

- create a new client and request a new signer for each user in the secret group

- client manages a key in its backend to encrypt all casts posted via client

- users are able to read decrypted versions of the casts

- Map it to a FIP-2 not on Warpcast to reduce timeline spam

If people use it, improve the encryption scheme.

ok so this assumes that we can read the casts on out backend?
