xx messenger, the world’s first quantum resistant messaging application, was launched on xx Network yesterday. Xx messenger enables users to communicate in real time through hundreds of decentralized nodes. While the application can be downloaded from IOS and Android, it also allows you to share photos and audio as well as group chat.
Uses Quantum Resistive Cryptography to Protect Message Contents
Unlike existing messaging apps, xx messenger uses quantum resistant cryptography to protect message content from decoding, and cMix software offers a service to hide metadata (information about who sent it, when it was sent, where it was sent and who received it). Teams of randomly selected xx nodes encrypt anonymity clusters of 1,000 messages, which are then repeatedly scrambled and also encrypted using quantum resistant cryptography. Information connecting senders and receivers is destroyed, preventing the tracking of private messages by third parties.
Other Messaging Apps Sell User Information
Centralized service providers now spy on most digital users and profile them based on their habits. Our personal information is sent to advertisements and political groups that are used by world-renowned messaging apps to microtarget and manipulate consumers or voters. User information is exploitatively marketed and monetized. Decentralized platforms offer a unique opportunity to integrate the internet’s privacy principles into the fabric of the burgeoning web3 ecosystem. xx messenger met with users at the beginning of web3 with a practice principle dedicated to protecting and strengthening their inalienable privacy rights.
Current Message Encryption Is Not Quantum Resistant
There is general agreement that quantum computers can decode communications encrypted using legacy crypto. At this point, messages sent in all other existing messenger apps, including those with “strong end-to-end encryption”, are easily retrospectively decoded and analyzed by artificial intelligence. Only chats using xx messenger will remain private thanks to quantum resistance.
xx messenger Offers Metadata Shredding
Working on Decentralized Blockchain
Every message sent on xx messenger goes through five randomly selected nodes from hundreds of xx nodes worldwide. A centralized agency that governments can enforce does not serve any company that will add spyware or expose data from its database. Supporting xx messenger, xx Network is currently running on a distributed, decentralized blockchain that is on the mainnet and transparent software run by 350+ independently owned nodes in more than 80 countries. The xx messenger App is a truly decentralized Application (dApp), which means it runs autonomously on a decentralized blockchain via smart contracts.
Behind xx messenger is Famous Cryptographer David Chaum and his team
The pioneering team behind the creation of the xx messenger achieved early success in developing practical, anonymous and verifiable cryptographic systems. Also, the app is run by renowned cryptographer David Chaum, who proposes and deploys digital currencies, hash networks, permissionless cryptographic solutions, and verifiable voting systems.
David Chaum: “xx messenger is the Bitcoin of interpersonal communication”
David Chaum, inventor of cryptocurrencies and founder of xx Network, said: “Recent privacy concerns have made the public sensitive to the control of personal information by central organizations like Facebook. Realizing that their information is being misused by corporate companies, people are now able to protect themselves and change society in beneficial ways. They’re trying to understand how to use cryptography and smartphones for the xx messenger securely decentralizes private communications like Bitcoin’s decentralized finance. Let’s get it right: let’s take control of our own knowledge and destiny.”
