The idea is that you give a copy of your communication software to someone you want to communicate with, doing a key exchange using an airgapped linux box and a disk burner. Destroy the disk, then you hope your connected device and their connected device is not compromised. Soon you find out they are ALL compromised in one way or another and the problem is exceedingly hard to solve. On top of that, someone could be shoving needles into his ball sack getting him to unlock his laptop/phone/whatever, meaning your friend himself is compromised.
However what you are definitely not going to do is have any server where you can let groups of arbitrary people join hoping they are cool to smoke with. Nobody smart will trust that. Might as well just post your coded message on a forum.
Finally if your friend's dad's project isn't open source nobody will trust it on a fundamental level. inb4 it's a new custom encryption nobody knows about and he can't give out the secret. That means to me that nobody SHOULD trust it.
One of these things is not like the other.
