Description
OFF Castle is end-to-end encrypted messaging whose keys come from a physical die, not just software. The server can't read your messages — not because it promises not to, because it can't.

Could you build this?
No Building end-to-end encrypted messaging with post-quantum cryptography, custom physical entropy sources, and verifiable zero-knowledge guarantees requires deep cryptographic expertise.
What it would actually take: A secure client-server architecture using audited post-quantum cryptographic primitives (e.g., Kyber/Dilithium or hybrid schemes) and custom entropy input protocols. The hard parts include designing, auditing, and implementing side-channel-resistant key exchange, key derivation from manual physical inputs, forward secrecy, and verifiable zero-knowledge guarantees where mistakes lead to catastrophic security vulnerabilities.
