Hi, I want to build a chat app with e2e encryption. To do this I need a way to exchange the public keys between two (or more) users. How can I achieve that with Convex?

Convex is not any different to any other database in this respect. If you find a resource (article, tutorial) that uses another database (or another mechanism, perhaps peer-to-peer) for key exchange you can swap in Convex instead.

@abstract trellis our very own @hearty sierra built an app with end-to-end encryption. you can find it here: https://github.com/ldanilek/whisper
we use it from time to time
it's for secure files, but some of the ideas are probably similar and can be helpful

it doesn't do key exchange though 🙂 . I don't know if we have examples that do that
