Hackathon Task: Building a Secure Email System for Handshake $HNS Domains

This project has a bounty of $5,000 USD

Objective:

Participants are tasked with developing an email server and client exclusively tailored to Handshake $HNS domain names. The system must prioritize security and privacy, featuring E2E encryption for all communications. Additionally, participants must ensure the solution is self-hostable, providing detailed setup instructions for both server and client configurations.

Requirements:

  • Exclusive Handshake $HNS Domain Integration:

    • Both the email server and client must exclusively interact with Handshake $HNS domain names, ensuring compatibility and support within the Handshake ecosystem.

  • E2E Encryption for Email Client:

    • The email client should integrate E2E encryption to secure email communications, safeguarding the privacy and confidentiality of messages exchanged.

  • Self-Hostable Email Server:

    • Participants must design the email server to be selfhostable, allowing users to deploy and manage their email infrastructure independently. Detailed documentation is required for setting up the email server.

  • Comprehensive Setup Instructions:

    • Detailed documentation is required for setting up both the email server and client. Instructions should be clear, concise, and encompass all necessary steps for successful implementation.

Deliverables:

  • Email Server Setup (80% of bounty):

    • Use an open-source email server solution like Modoboa to establish a secure email server environment.
    • Configure the server to interact solely with Handshak $HNS domains, ensuring seamless integration within the Handshake ecosystem.
    • Utilize HNSD for DNS resolution.
    • Documentation should include a step-by-step guide for setting up the email server, including all necessary dependencies and configurations.

  • Email Client Configuration (20% of bounty):

    • Use an open-source, end-to-end encrypted email client like Tuta or similar.
    • Configure the email client to exclusively communicate with Handshake $HNS domains.
    • Documentation should include a step-by-step guide for setting up the email client, including all necessary dependencies and configurations.

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Adherence to task requirements and specifications.
  • Security and robustness of the implemented solutions.
  • Clarity and completeness of setup instructions.
  • Overall creativity, innovation, and usability of the email system.
