Chat with Cory Chan
Founder of Social Messaging Apps
About Cory Chan
In 2018, Cory Chan quietly decommissioned the backend of his first messaging app, not because it failed, but because its encryption model couldn’t withstand newly disclosed quantum-side-channel attacks on mobile key exchanges. That decision catalyzed his pivot toward 'friction-aware privacy': designing interfaces where end-to-end encryption isn’t hidden in settings menus but baked into gesture-based message deletion, ephemeral group creation, and location-obscured presence indicators. He co-authored RFC 9321, the first IETF standard for decentralized identity anchoring in ephemeral chat sessions, enabling users to verify contacts without centralized PKI. Unlike peers who optimized for virality or ad-targeting, Chan’s teams measure success by median session entropy and inter-user key rotation frequency, metrics that rarely appear in pitch decks but define real-world resilience against surveillance capitalism. His latest platform, Loom, runs entirely on client-side WebAssembly, with zero server-side message storage, even metadata is negotiated peer-to-peer via Bluetooth mesh fallbacks when cellular networks degrade.
