+ + Nodal +

+ +

Nodal networks route encrypted messages through a network of user operated nodes. The nodes cannot decrypt messages, only the recipient can decrypt. Examples of this include Onion routing (used with technologies like Tor) and Blockchains. A direct connection is never made, ensuring that the recipient cannot access the sender's metadata (eg, IP address). If the network uses onion routing, then the nodes can't either.

Advantages

+
    +
  • Minimal to no information is exposed to third parties.
  • +
  • Messages can be relayed even if one of the parties is offline.
  • +
+
+
+

Disadvantages

+
    +
  • Slow transfers and messages propagation.
  • +
  • Less reliable due to the random nodes routing, some nodes may be very far from the sender and receiver, adding latency or even failing to transmit messages if one of the nodes goes offline.
  • +
  • More complex to use as it requires the creation and backup of a private key.
