While most messaging apps promise end-to-end encryption, they suffer from 2 fundamental flaws.Firstly, they are usually governed by a central authority and depend on centralized servers. These servers store all the metadata of your conversations and are vulnerable to attacks. Further, the central authority also controls your data, and they can use it as they deem fit.The second problem is that end-to-end encryption will become obsolete once we enter the age of quantum computing (more on this later).To address these issues, a new generation of messaging apps has emerged.
They are decentralized, quantum-resistant and will effectively future-proof private communication. And at the forefront of these up-and-coming messaging apps is the xx messenger.The xx networkThe xx network is a full-stack platform with a layer one blockchain that is quantum resistant. It is one of the most private communications networks in the world right now.
One unique aspect of the network is that its communication layer even obfuscates the metadata of your chats. This provides an added level of security.Any application or blockchain platform can route its traffic to the xx network for secure and quantum-proofed end-to-end communication.Also Read: Explained: India plans to monetise public data. What is the draft data policy all about?The crowning jewel of the network is its decentralized messaging application, xx messenger.
It embodies all the features that the xx network promises. It is an end-to-end quantum secure messaging application that obfuscates metadata.Both the xx network and the messenger are the creation of David Chaum, a computer scientist and cryptographer known as the 'godfather of cryptocurrency'. In 1982, way before Satoshi Nakamoto
