Instant Messenger software background
With the popularization of smart phones, Instant Messenger gradually replaces traditional 2G SMS and voice calls in people’s daily life. In developed countries and some countries where mobile communications are developed, instant messaging software such as WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat and so on has greatly facilitated daily life and communication. Emerging countries with an absolute majority of their population are in high demand for “IM + e-Payment” models. To instant messaging software as a platform to build advertising, mobile games, e-commerce, peripheral services and other services multiple products. Constructing a well-established online ecosystem in emerging markets and creating a one-stop market for emerging markets and workplaces is where the OpenChat team is fully committed.
While IM software is developing rapidly, traditional enterprises gradually expose some problems in their operations. Traditional IM applications usually include three parties: platform, partners and users.
Each side has a role to sustain the development of the platform. Although everyone plays a key role. But the goals of these groups are to very different goals. The current model does not provide a means by which their incentives can coexist and harmonize.
Driven by the supply side’s own interests, the future of social networks becomes unsafe. The platform and partner associations do everything possible to gain access to users’information in order to extract big data that is more suitable as a basis for promotion. To ensure their own living space. However, this has left users in deep privacy.
In 2013, Facebook, Skype, Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo! were exposed to the Prisoners Project being implemented by the U.S. National Security Agency, causing an uproar. As a user, you have nothing wrong, but you may become the object of suspicion. They can use this project to scrutinize all your past decisions and review all the friends you’ve talked to perhaps just because you sent the wrong message once. Nowadays, users in some areas pay more attention to personal privacy. Many people do not care what their authority is used to do. Also do not care about the privacy policy statement in APP.
In 2016, a “Social Software Communication Privacy Ranking” released by Amnesty International was widely distributed on social networks. This list compares and rates current mainstream social software services from five aspects: “Human Rights Protection”, “End-to-End Encryption”, “Risk Alert”, “Open Door to Open Door” and “Publishing Encryption Technology Details”. As global mainstream IM Skype and WeChat scores were only 40 points and 0 points (out of 100 points). Shows the seriousness of the risk of privacy disclosure. The traditional information encryption technology called “transmission encryption.” Service providers use different encryption methods to encrypt the transmission of information. The biggest drawback of this encryption method is that the messages sent between users are plaintext. In other words, if the service provider in charge of information transmission wants to peek at the privacy of users or inadvertently releases the information, all the user’s chat records are unreservedly exposed to the public.
Therefore, the terrible future is no longer the disclosure of personal information, but user behavior has been predicted. When the development of technology led to artificial intelligence advice can affect people’s decision-making. Especially behind these AI are controlled by a large company I do not know is the joy or panic.
Blockchain is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism and encryption algorithm. Blockchain as a strong guarantee of digital assets, has been well received by the industry. However, the traditional IM, which should be responsible for the privacy of users, does not provide any corresponding entrance to the blockchain. At the same time, providers of traditional IM third-party products are constantly competing with each other to ensure their own interests. They simply can not enter into a state of mutualism and mutual benefit. Over time, some good and carry the dream providers have to accept the fate of being eliminated. This not only harms the diversity of the market but also stifles many great ideas.
