#MetaHash launches highly secure #MetaTalk messenger
In the sake of comfortable and secure interaction between #MetaHash users we are pleased to launch #MetaTalk, which allows to communicate in a fully anonymous and encrypted way.
The first version of #MetaTalk shows how a dApp can transmit sensitive information through decentralized cloud or blockchain without compromising security.
User that wishes to use #MetaTalk generates public and private keys for messaging and publishes the public key in #MetaHash blockchain on first login while registering his wallet ID to receive encrypted messages. AES_cfb128_encrypt function is used to secure the content of the messages.
No matter if the messages are transmitted through the cloud or blockchain, in any case they can’t be read by anybody who doesn’t have the private key to decrypt them, while this key is generated locally by receiver. The sender also encrypts the message locally for the recipient’s pub-key.
The messenger is designed to become a part of #MetaHash ecosystem and in the further updates will offer additional features and functions such as:
- notification center;
- private and public group messaging;
- send MHC coins to recipient;
- integration with MetaGate notification center.
Additionally, pay to contact/read/reply feature will be added, which will allow users to get paid for their attention allowing them to earn #MHC coins and effectively filter out spam messages.
We welcome 3d party developers to use the protocol, it will be fully open and can be used inside #MetaGate or in any other applications on any OS. Soon #MetaGate notification center will be available to 3d party protocols and apps.
