Blokcheyn as ... "anti-spyware" Messenger?
A student from the Netherlands developing its "cool project" may have found a way to prevent censorship of text messages, adding to his application assistance bitcoin blokcheyna.
Following the revelations of former US NSA employee and now a famous whistleblower Edward Snowden, who declassified documents of the American program PRISM to monitor Internet traffic, many people have become much more attention to privacy on the Internet. Attention to information security increases exponentially rates among advanced users as well as among ordinary "guests" of the network.
Krzysztof Okupski, 25-year-old graduate student from the Netherlands, discussed the upcoming project in the class at the time as his mentor, Professor Boris Shkorich, suggested the possibility of attracting blokcheyna to create applications with built-in protection from censorship and surveillance. Okupski immediately saw far-reaching aspects of the project and decided to get down to business.
Okupski felt an urge to create is an application that will be in use as cheap as possible and allow secretive users across the globe to communicate freely and communicate without fear that the government will monitor them. This is a pretty serious problem in countries such as China and in many countries of the Middle East. Using blokcheyna seemed the right way to solve this problem and giving people greater freedom. Okupski talks about his brainchild:
"Tying the payment network like Bitcoin to the" anti-government messaging "we challenge the government to take repressive or both of these systems together, or reject.Rejecting them, the authorities act unwisely, because in any case Bitcoin - active and growing currency from which the economy could benefit. "
While working on the application at the same time Okupski developed a " Handbook for Bitcoin developer ", which is designed to provide developers all the necessary specifications and API to create bitcoin application of high quality.
The essence of your application is very simple. As soon as the messenger connected with Bitcoin wallet, installed on your computer user, you can send messages by inserting them into the foundation of building blocks during each transaction. There you can enable public key signature and the amount of money sent. Send messages this way can not free, but the collection is carried out only for the purpose of pay miners who process the transaction.
Recipient of the message must have access to the same customer, have "id", which can only be obtained from the author of the message, and then he will be able to read it. Identifier, except security roles, the department will also be responsible of the data relating to the transfer of funds from the text message. Okupski led an interesting analogy to the setting of the radio to a specific frequency.
To date, of course, there are other opportunities to send encrypted messages, but most are either very strongly "eats" the computer's memory or expensive, and sometimes - all together. Okupski convinced that using decentralized properties blokcheyna it solves most of these problems and offers his solution available to almost everyone who has Internet access.
"Before I started writing code, I did an extensive analysis of what kind of information would fit into the transaction information, which is commonly used Bitcoin. Within 9 months I researched restrictions Bitcoin network and found all the elements that can hold data, and then built a model optimized for minimum consumption Satoshi per byte of information. In addition, I have included a special algorithm simple text compression and which has reduced the overall size of the transmitted information. "
The cost of such shipment extremely small! For example an article of 500 words, about such as this can be sent in less than 60,000 Satoshi that is approximately equal to 20 cents at the exchange rate at the time of the study.Software will also allow users to communicate messages in a single chain, which potentially will create cheap newswires free from censorship authorities.
There was a question about whether the extensive use blokcheyna dangerous in terms of the possibility of "break" system. On the one hand the additional data will be beneficial to the miners in terms of earnings, on the other - time transaction processing can increase substantially. Okupski noted potential problems but decided that as long as it comes to translation by users of small pieces of text to each other and possibly a few news feeds translators, no problems should not arise. He also notes that his idea is still on the way to alpha testing, so that many problems will be solved until.
