Could you build this?
No Building a secure zero-knowledge, post-quantum encrypted messenger with duress vaults and steganography requires world-class cryptographic engineering; subtle implementation flaws completely invalidate its security guarantees.
What it would actually take: The architecture demands implementing post-quantum cryptographic primitives (such as Kyber/ML-KEM and Dilithium/ML-DSA) alongside zero-knowledge proof protocols and double-ratchet state machines. Cryptographic engineers must ensure side-channel attack resistance, safe memory sanitization, secure client-side key generation, and resilient WebRTC/P2P or blinded relay server transport layers.
