WHISPER MSG: YOUR PRIVACY IS ASSURED
This article is about privacy, messaging and the blockchain. And what brings all of these apparently separate concepts together is Whisper MSG: Chat Securely and Transact, but before we go into the explanation of whisper messaging app, let me paint a picture of a hypothetical situation that will better drive home the importance and advantages that you stand to gain from using the Whisper messaging app.
Picture this, you and your partner are far apart and for one reason or the other you can not see each other in person, but to keep the romance going and to keep that spark alive you decide to do something you have never done for fear of leaks or hacks on your favourite social media or messaging app, sending nudes to one another. Then your worst fears are realised, the messaging app got hacked and all your personal information is out there in the hands of the hackers, and you are being blackmailed, pay money or else your nude pictures will be published for everyone to see.
This is the bad thing about using social media or messaging apps to send sensitive information, the risk of hacking which can lead to the release of your personal information for everyone to see.
And that is where Whisper messaging app comes in because their mandate is privacy which is evident from their motto; YOUR PRIVACY IS OUR PRIORITY.
So you might be wondering how they plan to make good on their promise of privacy, well hold your horses because that is what I am going to talk about now.
PRIVACY PRIVACY, HOW PRIVACY?
- NO VERIFICATION REQUIRED: unlike all mainstream social media and messaging apps that require a means of identifictidentifictionaion that ties your online and offline identities together, be it your phone number, email address, or an official means of identification issued by your government when registering for their services, the only thing you need to start using Whisper messaging app is a pin to secure your account. Since there is no form of identification used when registering the app there is nothing tying your online personality to your physical one, this provides maximum anonymity.
- AUTO DESTRUCT MESSAGES: yes in whisper the messages auto destruct. When you send a message to another user or you receive a message, as soon as it has been sent, received and confirmed read by the receiver the message auto destructs so that there are no backups, so in the very unlikely event of a hack ( you will see why I said this in the next point) there is nothing for the hackers to leverage. Adding to the security and anonymity of the Whisper messaging app.
- BLOCKCHAIN BASED: because of the decentralised nature of the blockchain it already provides anonymity, and because of the consensus mechanism that blockchains require before you can create new blocks this serves to keep people with nefarious purposes from penetrating the block chain.and whisper takes all of this and uses it to its advantage, but that is not all instead of putting up shop on an existing block chain, whisper uses its own unique block chain, EQUILIBRIUM, which was developed by its parent company EQBR Holdings. This allows the messages sent on whisper to be end-end encrypted. This adds another layer of protection and anonymity.
The fact that whisper is on the block chain brings up another use of the Whisper messaging app which apart from being a messaging app also doubles as a crypto wallet, and since its on the same app it enjoys all the security and anonymity that messaging enjoys. And just like the messaging section all you need to set up the wallet is a mnemonic phrase to be used when retrieving the wallet and its assets later in the future if the need arises.
