Description
The innovative messaging platform stands out by eliminating user IDs entirely.
Unlike other applications such as Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, and Cwtch that rely on user identifiers, SimpleX takes a different route by not employing any form of user IDs or even random numbers, significantly enhancing user privacy.
Users frequently inquire about how SimpleX manages message delivery without user identifiers.
To facilitate message delivery, SimpleX employs temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers for message queues, which are unique to each connection, ensuring that no long-term identifiers are utilized.
You have the flexibility to select which server(s) will handle your incoming messages, while your contacts will determine the servers used to send messages to them, meaning that each conversation may operate through two different servers.
This unique structure effectively minimizes the risk of metadata leakage at the application level.
In addition to this, users can further enhance their privacy and safeguard their IP addresses by routing their connections through Tor when accessing messaging servers.
Only client devices retain user profiles, contacts, and group information, while messages are secured with a robust two-layer end-to-end encryption system.
This approach not only prioritizes user privacy but also ensures a safer messaging experience overall.
Description
The open protocol designed for a censorship-resistant global "social" network leverages cryptographic keys and signatures, ensuring its tamperproof nature. This system operates independently of any central server or traditional peer-to-peer methods, resulting in a highly resilient framework. Each participant utilizes a client, available in either native or web forms, to create posts that are securely signed with their cryptographic key and sent to numerous relays. To receive updates from others, users can inquire across multiple relays for any relevant information. Anyone has the capability to operate a relay, which functions by accepting and conveying posts without necessitating trust among users. Additionally, signature verification is conducted on the client side, enhancing overall security and integrity. This decentralized approach empowers users with greater control over their content and interactions.
