This application is in development, It already works.
It could merge email and messaging, this application works using blockchain.
What are features ?
Session is a privacy-focused messaging and communication platform designed with a strong emphasis on security and user control. Its primary services and features include:
End-to-End Encryption: Session ensures that all messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted, meaning only the sender and receiver can access the content.
Decentralization: It operates on a decentralized network, which means there are no central servers storing user data, enhancing privacy.
No Phone Number or Email Required: Users can sign up for Session without providing personal information such as phone numbers or email addresses, further protecting their privacy.
Message Burner: Session offers a "burner" feature, allowing users to set messages to automatically delete after a certain period, enhancing message privacy.
Open Source: The platform is open-source, meaning the code is transparent and can be audited for security, increasing trustworthiness.
Anonymous Accounts: Users can create anonymous accounts, enhancing their online anonymity.
Voice and Video Calls: In addition to text messaging, Session supports voice and video calls with the same privacy and security standards.
Group Chats: Users can create private group chats, ensuring secure communication with multiple participants.
Cross-Platform: Session is available on various platforms, including Android, iOS, and desktop, for convenient and secure messaging across devices.
In summary, Session is a privacy-centric messaging platform that focuses on secure, encrypted communication without the need for personal information. It emphasizes user control and anonymity, making it an appealing choice for individuals who prioritize online privacy.
more precisely :
End-to-End Encryption:
When you send a message or make a call in Session, it gets encrypted on your device.
The encrypted data travels over the network and reaches the recipient's device.
Only the recipient's device can decrypt and display the message or call, ensuring that no one in between can access the content.
Decentralized Network:
Session operates on a decentralized network, meaning there's no central server where user data is stored.
Your messages and calls are distributed across multiple nodes (computers) in the network.
This decentralized structure reduces the risk of data breaches and surveillance since there's no single point of access.
Let's explore the relationship between the decentralized network and the Oxen cryptocurrency in detail, with a focus on accuracy and conciseness, and the use of illustrations where applicable:
1. Oxen Cryptocurrency in Session:
You do not need to hold or use the Oxen cryptocurrency to use Session.
Session uses Oxen blockchain nodes to secure exchanges between users.
2. Staking Nodes with Oxen:
Oxen cryptocurrency is used to run and support Service Nodes within the Session network.
Service Nodes are critical components responsible for relaying messages and maintaining the network's decentralized nature.
To operate a Service Node, users must "stake" a certain amount of Oxen as collateral.
3. Incentivizing Nodes:
Oxen also acts as an incentive mechanism to encourage users to run Service Nodes.
Service Node operators receive Oxen rewards for their role in maintaining the network, which helps ensure its security and stability.
4. Anonymity and Privacy:
Session is a serious alternative to all centralized messaging players, because their approaches are the same as what we have on the market, but uses cryptography to anonymize users (public key and private key) and the oxen blockchain to store messages in a decentralized manner.
Why, in my opinion, do messaging and email result from the same use? they allow a written message to be transmitted between two or more people.
Remember that SESSION is still in development.
TRY and UNDERSTAND always before adopting.
