Opentok chat is running slowly according I execute session.disconnect() and session.connect()

I am new to the Opentok API and I am writing tests. In my tests I simulated disconnecting from the room and connecting again, but if I execute it at various times, the chat is runs slowly, until broken.
To init the chat I run $scope.initSession() and to disconnect I run $scope.disconnectFromSession().
I am using the Opentok.js version 2.13.2. See my following code:
var apiKey, sessionId, token;
apiKey = //my api key;
sessionId = //my sessionid;
token = //my token;
var session = null;
var publisher = null;
var stream = null;
var connectionCount = 0;
var publisherProperties = {frameRate: 7};
$scope.connected = false;
$scope.initSession = function() {
if (OT.checkSystemRequirements() == 1) {
// Initialize Session Object
session = OT.initSession(apiKey, sessionId);
createElement("publisher");
// initialize a publisher
publisher = OT.initPublisher('publisher', publisherProperties);
session.on({
streamCreated: function(event) {
console.log("EVENT streamCreated: " + event.stream.name + " - " + event.reason);
createElement("subscriber");
stream = event.stream;
session.subscribe(stream, 'subscriber');
},
streamDestroyed: function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
console.log("EVENT streamDestroyed: " + event.stream.name + " - " + event.reason);
console.log('Stream ${event.stream.name} ended because ${event.reason}.');
}
});
connectToSession();
} else {
console.log('Browser haven´t support to WebRTC');
}
}
function connectToSession() {
session.connect(token, function(err) {
if (err) {
if (err.name === "OT_NOT_CONNECTED") {
showMessage('Failed to connect. Please check your connection and try connecting again.');
} else {
showMessage('An unknown error occurred connecting. Please try again later.');
}
} else {
// publish to the session
session.publish(publisher);
$scope.connected = true;
}
});
}
function createElement(id) {
console.log(document.getElementById(id));
if (document.getElementById(id) === null) {
var divPublisher = document.createElement("div");
divPublisher.setAttribute("id", id);
document.getElementById("div-videos").appendChild(divPublisher);
}
}
$scope.disconnectFromSession = function() {
session.disconnect();
$scope.connected = false;
OT.off();
}
$scope.initSession();
I appreciate any help.

How can I check if ECC Key and Public Key are being passed through Js file?

I'm having a problem locating where my problem is. I'm using PubNub for realtime messaging and the example project is using ECC (elliptical curve cryptography) encrypted messaging.
Every thing in the file works(animation, channel presence, etc.) except for sending the message. Every time I hit send I get this message:
Here is my chat-app.js file:

function displayOutput(message) {
if(!message) return;
if(typeof(message.text) === 'undefined') return;
var html = '';
if ('userid' in message && message.userid in keysCache) {
var signature = message.signature;
delete message.signature;
var result = ecc.verify(keysCache[message.userid].publicKey, signature, JSON.stringify(message));

This error is coming from my ecc.js file
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'r' of undefined
However, I'm assuming the error is in the chat-app.js file because I didn't touch the ecc.js file. I got it from the project -- https://github.com/pubnub/auth-chat-demo
More info on ECC can be found here: https://github.com/jpillora/eccjs

According to your description, it looks like this line is giving you the error:
var signature = ecc.sign(user.eccKey, JSON.stringify(message));
So I am guessing you are not properly passing user.eccKey?
Do you have all the user data from oAuth (or any login auth)? or is the eccKey generated correctly upon the user sign-up?
Also, try include the non-minified version of ecc.js so you can track where the error is coming from more easily.

My question is how to pass data between two pages on the same machine using WebRTC?

This WebRTC tab chat demo works across tabs or windows in the same browser without a server: https://jsfiddle.net/f5y48hcd/ (I gave up making it work in a code snippet due to a SecurityError.)
Open the fiddle in two windows and try it out. For reference, here's the WebRTC code:
var pc = new RTCPeerConnection(), dc, enterPressed = e => e.keyCode == 13;
var connect = () => init(dc = pc.createDataChannel("chat"));
pc.ondatachannel = e => init(dc = e.channel);
var init = dc => {
dc.onopen = e => (dc.send("Hi!"), chat.select());
dc.onclose = e => log("Bye!");
dc.onmessage = e => log(e.data);
};
chat.onkeypress = e => {
if (!enterPressed(e)) return;
dc.send(chat.value);
log("> " + chat.value);
chat.value = "";
};
var sc = new localSocket(), send = obj => sc.send(JSON.stringify(obj));
var incoming = msg => msg.sdp &&
pc.setRemoteDescription(new RTCSessionDescription(msg.sdp))
.then(() => pc.signalingState == "stable" || pc.createAnswer()
.then(answer => pc.setLocalDescription(answer))
.then(() => send({ sdp: pc.localDescription })))
.catch(log) || msg.candidate &&
pc.addIceCandidate(new RTCIceCandidate(msg.candidate)).catch(log);
sc.onmessage = e => incoming(JSON.parse(e.data));
pc.oniceconnectionstatechange = e => log(pc.iceConnectionState);
pc.onicecandidate = e => send({ candidate: e.candidate });
pc.onnegotiationneeded = e => pc.createOffer()
.then(offer => pc.setLocalDescription(offer))
.then(() => send({ sdp: pc.localDescription }))
.catch(log);
var log = msg => div.innerHTML += "<br>" + msg;
I use this for demoing WebRTC data channels. Note that the secret sauce is the localSocket.js that I wrote for this, which looks like this:
function localSocket() {
localStorage.a = localStorage.b = JSON.stringify([]);
this.index = 0;
this.interval = setInterval(() => {
if (!this.in) {
if (!JSON.parse(localStorage.a).length) return;
this.in = "a"; this.out = "b";
}
var arr = JSON.parse(localStorage[this.in]);
if (arr.length <= this.index) return;
if (this.onmessage) this.onmessage({ data: arr[this.index] });
this.index++;
}, 200);
setTimeout(() => this.onopen && this.onopen({}));
}
localSocket.prototype = {
send: function(msg) {
if (!this.out) {
this.out = "a"; this.in = "b";
}
var arr = JSON.parse(localStorage[this.out]);
arr.push(msg);
localStorage[this.out] = JSON.stringify(arr);
},
close: function() {
clearInterval(this.interval);
}
};
It basically uses localStorage to simulate web sockets locally between two tabs. If this is all you want to do, then you don't even need WebRTC data channels.
Disclaimer: It's not very robust, and relies on two pages being ready to communicate, so not production-ready by any means.

Use TripleSec encryption with Node.js Socket.io Chat

I am new to Node.js and I've created a simple chat application using Socket.io. I am trying to encrypt the messages using the triplesec library but I am having some issues. What would be the best approach to add this encryption/decryption:
var triplesec = require('triplesec');
// Encrypt Function
triplesec.encrypt({
key: new triplesec.Buffer('secretkey'),
data: new triplesec.Buffer('secretthings'),
}, function (err, buff) {
if(!err) {
var ciphertext = buff.toString('hex')
console.log(buff.toString('hex'))
}
// Decrypt Function
triplesec.decrypt({
data: new triplesec.Buffer(ciphertext, "hex"),
key: new triplesec.Buffer('secretkey')
}, function (err, buff) {
if(!err) {
console.log(buff.toString());
}
});
});
To this client: (All encryption on the messages coming in and going out will be handled client side, assuming this is the best approach?)
// imports
var readline = require('readline');
var socketio = require('socket.io-client');
var util = require('util');
var clc = require("cli-color");
var async = require("async");
// globals
var nick;

var rl = readline.createInterface(process.stdin, process.stdout);
// message types

Can't use WebRTC DataChannels with Chrome when Firefox initiates the connection

I am trying to create a simple webpage using WebRTC DataChannels that sends pings/pongs between browsers.
When Chrome initiates the connection and then Chrome connects, it works.
When Firefox initiates the connection and then Firefox connects, it works.
When Chrome initiates the connection and then Firefox connects, it works.
But when Firefox initiates the connection and then Chrome connects, it doesn't work. Chrome never receives data sent by Firefox.
I'm using Firefox 26 and Chromium 32, on Archlinux.

To run the code, launch the signaling server, open the webpage in two browser tabs, click the "Create data channel" button and look at the web console.
Any idea?

Looking through the Chrome/Firefox bug trackers it looks like this issue has been identified and resolved, but only in Chrome Canary 33.0.1715.0 or higher.
If you're unwilling to require the Chrome Canary build mentioned above, you can detect the bad peer combination, and have your 'offer' button signal the other client to make an offer.
Pseudocode:
socket.onMessage(msg) {
if(msg == "request-offer"){
doOffer();
}
...
}
createDataChannelButton.onClick() {
if(!canCreateChannelBasedOnBrowser){
socket.send("request-offer");
}
else {
doOffer();
}
}

It is also worth noting that there is currently a max message buffer size of 16KB when sending data to a Chrome peer. If you are sending large data messages, you will need to break them into 16KB chunks before transmitting them over the data channel.

FYI, I revised the HTML further to try and troubleshoot a problem I'm having talking to the C++ libjingle (neither Chrome, nor Firefox) ;)
This version shows on-page status. Not pretty, but useful.
