Protecting your privacy and security online is vital. When it comes to private messaging, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) apps provide a level of security, but they may not be enough to fully protect your personal information. One major flaw in many secure messaging apps is centralisation
Centralisation refers to a system or network controlled by a central authority. This means that if the network relies on a central server to function, the entity controlling that server has complete control over the network. In a centralised system, users must place their trust in the central server to manage the network safely and responsibly.
Decentralisation, on the other hand, refers to a network without a central authority. Each node in a decentralised network has equal power and can communicate directly with other nodes without the need for a central server. This is where Hidy comes in. Our messaging platform is built on a decentralised network, eliminating the need for a central server. This means that there is no central point of failure and no single entity that can control the network. Decentralisation also allows for greater security and privacy. Without a central server, there is no single point of failure that can be targeted by hackers, and personal information is protected from third-party access.
In the digital age, privacy and security are non-negotiables. By using a decentralised messaging platform like Hidy, you can ensure that your personal information is protected and your communications are secure.
