Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, has introduced a new decentralized messaging application called White Noise. This app is based on the Nostr protocol and differs from the recently launched beta version of Bitchat.
Features of White Noise
White Noise utilizes the Nostr protocol, an open framework for building decentralized social networks. Unlike Bitchat, which works on Bluetooth, White Noise relies on a network of independent relays, allowing it to operate with an internet connection.
Security and Technology of White Noise
White Noise ensures a high level of security through the use of the MLS (Messaging Layer Security) protocol. Messages are encrypted during transmission, and in the event of a breach, the system protects past communications through a mechanism of 'forward secrecy'. The protocol can also adapt to modern cryptographic standards, including quantum-resistant algorithms.
Availability and Support of White Noise
White Noise is currently available for testing via TestFlight for iOS and Zapstore for Android. The application has received support from organizations such as OpenSats and the Human Rights Foundation, indicating its openness to the developer community.
White Noise offers an interesting solution in the realm of decentralized communications, providing users with high security and modern architecture. The backing of significant organizations speaks to the app's potential for further development.
