Stegos Built For Privacy – Pravin kumar
Every individual’s life is filled with privacy but are we maintaining our privacy in this current online world, I would say no because we been trapped by a word called internet where our daily messages, transactions been tracked both online as well as offline. Finally, we got a solution to get rid of this issues yes here we go it’s time to introduce “STEGOS — A Platform for Privacy Applications” let’s get into the project features.
- Secure Chat
- Mobile Mining
- Secure Transaction
- Red Packet
- TAC (Trusted Application Container)
Let’s look in detail about each feature with current drawbacks
Secure Chat: As we were all aware that in recent times most popular applications had been hacked which is a breach of privacy. Some examples of recent privacy breach as follows,
“Security researchers found that more than 540 million Facebook user records were exposed to Amazon’s cloud servers. According to UpGuard, the social networking platform was hacked by Cultura Colectiva with exposed 145 GB worth of data from Facebook”
“WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, was hacked in May by an Israeli security firm, the NSO Group. It allegedly infected 1,400 users with flagship spyware, Pegasus”
Secure chat enables you to send data with the same privacy model which been enabled for payments. Stegos chat feature includes both one on one and group chat ensuring 100% private communication. Users can use this chat feature similar to normal messaging applications where here we can request for payment just by sending the QR code. Inviting people to chat group is quite simple by sending them the group QR code.
Most foreseen feature in crypto space is mobile mining but in the current system, more scam activities are occurring in the name of mobile mining where we are providing access to our smartphones using which they are looting our data. Nowadays setting up a mining environment is expensive and also hard to set up a mining environment. Hence stegos developing a mobile mining platform which helps them to increases the validator nodes, resilience and throughput of the network. This feature itself will attract a huge user base.
This feature enables secure and private transactions within the network. These transactions are unlinkable, untraceable and entirely confidential that can’t be able to identify the recipients. The payments are made just by scanning the QR code. The transactions can be between single-user and further to a group.
Hope everyone in the crypto space got bored with the word “Airdrop” as most of the airdrops are scam they build the system just to increase their followers in social accounts and few airdrops would collect our personal data’s where in return we would get an invaluable/unsaleable tokens and also there are few legit airdrops with good community members on-board who will run the nodes or actively using a platform. In 2014 Wechat even launched a digital red packet were millions of people have signed up and voluntarily shared their bank details.
Stegos red packet feature is implemented to overcome those gaps where this red packet doesn’t need your pieces of information. Red packet is available in both private and public forms so the users can use them as per their convenience. Anyone with the Stegos app can create a red packet with customization as per their requirement and generates a QR code or URL which can be used to access the red packet. Users can access the red packet to climb their tokens where the red packet will be active till the packet is empty or the expiry deadline passes.
We have seen several features that assist users, so let’s see about a feature that helps the developers to build a mobile privacy application more simple with a protected ecosystem where the application can be developed on any technology and run as a plugin on this platform in which the access to the user’s wallet been completely verified. This architecture is easy to use and protects the app from getting damaged or disruption.
Stegos project has found to be a solution for some of the major issues currently the users facing in their daily life. Privacy is meant for everyone and stegos focus is to provide a secure environment to all his app users with those awesome features. Everyone in the crypto space will sure love this amazing project and for newbies, this project gives a comfort zone to explore the crypto space with complete privacy.
