============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to
|
|
|
|
|
another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate
|
|
|
|
|
authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a
|
|
|
|
|
message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the
|
|
|
|
|
sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running
|
|
|
|
|
warrantless wiretapping programs.
