What security system can you provide? in messenger, I mean
When you send a message from one user to another, you connect through a
P2P connection. If the instant access to data is not required, all information
is being stored to the IPFS-based decentralized storage network (DSN).
Thus, all user data remains protected from any interference.
For the safety of sent messages and users, following our principle of the
Proof of Storage algorithm, there is a place for the distributed storage of
information to be kept safe. Users of e-Chat can independently set the time
for storing messages.
To secure the operation of the blockchain, e-Chat stores the «URL» of
message or file directly to IPFS.
PROTOCOL OF ENCRYPTION
We are using MTProto - the best encryption algorithm, which was
developed by the creators of Telegram. This protocol has the following
features:
- High-level component (API query language): defines the method whereby
the API queries and responses are converted to binary messages.
- Cryptographic (authorization) layer: defines the method by which
messages are encrypted before being transmitted through the transport
protocol.
- Transport component: defines the method for the client and the server
to transmit messages over some other existing network protocol (such as
http, https, TCP, UDP).
