Team communication.
On your server.
Business messenger
powered by Matrix and Element.

PROJECT GOAL
Our own platform.
A practical example for business.
Build our own Matrix communication environment and use it to demonstrate the solution to other companies. Show the client, rooms and server architecture on a running system.
VESS.SU is ITDALEX's own project. It lets us discuss communication workflows and deployment requirements with a customer before installing a separate server in their organization.
HOW IT WORKS
A client for each employee.

SECURE COMMUNICATION
End-to-end encryption.
With clear protection boundaries.

What E2EE protects
In rooms with end-to-end encryption enabled, clients encrypt message content. The server relays encrypted events and cannot obtain their plaintext merely by acting as the server.
What still matters
Metadata, accounts and some service information remain accessible on the server side. Device security, session verification and recovery key protection also affect message security.
E2EE applies to encrypted rooms, not automatically to all service data. Self-hosting does not prevent copies on other servers when federated rooms are used. About Matrix encryption ↗
