|
||||
|
||||
<p>Peer-to-Peer instant messengers connect directly to each other without requiring third-party servers. Clients (peers) usually find each other through the use of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing">distributed computing</a> network. Examples of this include <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table">DHT (distributed hash table)</a> (used with technologies like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)">torrents</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System">IPFS</a>, for example), or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum">Ethereum</a>'s <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Whisper">Whisper</a> protocol (used with some newer DApps). Another approach is proximity based networks, where a connection is established over WiFi or Bluetooth (for example, Briar or the <a href="https://www.scuttlebutt.nz">Scuttlebutt</a> social networking protocol). Once a peer has found a route to its contact via any of these methods, a direct connection between them is made.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Advantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Minimal information is exposed to third parties.</li>
|
||||
<li>Modern P2P platforms implement end-to-end encryption by default. There are no servers that could potentially intercept and decrypt your transmissions, unlike centralized and federated models.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Disadvantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Reduced feature set:</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Messages can only be sent when both peers are online, however, your client may store messages locally to wait for the contact to return online.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generally increases battery usage on mobile devices, because the client must stay connected to the distributed network to learn about who is online.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address">IP address</a> and that of the contacts you're communicating with may be visible if you do not use the software in conjunction with a <a href="/software/networks">self contained network</a>, such as <a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor</a> or <a href="https://geti2p.net/">I2P</a>.

<h3>Advantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Minimal information is exposed to third parties.</li>
|
||||
<li>Modern P2P platforms implement end-to-end encryption by default. There are no servers that could potentially intercept and decrypt your transmissions, unlike centralized and federated models.</li>

<h3>Disadvantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Reduced feature set:</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Messages can only be sent when both peers are online, however, your client may store messages locally to wait for the contact to return online.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generally increases battery usage on mobile devices, because the client must stay connected to the distributed network to learn about who is online.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address">IP address</a> and that of the contacts you're communicating with may be visible if you do not use the software in conjunction with a <a href="/software/networks">self contained network</a>, such as <a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor</a> or <a href="https://geti2p.net/">I2P</a>. Many countries have some form of mass surveillance and/or metadata retention.</li>
