Why Decentralization is the Only Way to Prevent Cybersecurity Breaches?
1/ A decentralized network is built by people, where individuals function as nodes within the network.
2/ There is no central server that stores data in a single location; instead, all data is distributed across random devices/nodes within the decentralized network.
3/ Data can only be decrypted using a unique private key specific to each user.
4/ Messages are sent with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) within a peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized network, bypassing the need for a central server, unlike centralized platforms such as Telegram or WhatsApp.
The absence of a central server translates to no centralized data storage, which in turn means no potential entry point for hackers to exploit and compromise data, thus preventing data breaches.
Three decentralized tool that I tried:
- SimpleX:
- Simply a decentralized messaging tool, safer than Session
- Nostr:
- Fully decentralized social platform
- Full of spam, hard to use compares to mastodom.
- WireMin:
- Not open sourced (if they are open sourced, it will be my top choice.)
- A combination of mastodon and Session
