Download - Session Private Messenger

Session hides your IP address like Tor by using Lokinet.

It doesn't require your phone number or email address.

There is no central servers. It works like I2P or Tor with only nodes of users.


Session supports Android, iOS, Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Game changer: decentralized messenger, SESSION

The importance of decentralization in terms of freedom of expression, privacy and anonymity cannot be emphasized. Because without a central power to control the network, censorship is essentially impossible.

Things like Earn IT in the United States and the Block N Prevention Act are mainly targeting relays. For example, if you are trying to regulate messengers, you put the messenger company that manages the relay server under censorship obligations. However, if a messenger sends and receives messages through P2P, the story is different. This is because the company does not'operate' messenger software.

In most countries, ‘writing’ the source code for a program is protected by freedom of expression. Code is a kind of media, so if the government freely censors or forces you to put a backdoor, you may be beaten by a trial for unconstitutionality and compensate the developer.

   Decentralized messenger guarantees higher anonymity than secret chat provided by general messenger. The enhanced anonymity is a double-edged sword. Protecting information to a level where the user's identity cannot be identified also means that even if a messenger is abused for a crime, tracking is impossible. Moreover, even if a problem arises, there is a limited scope that can be held accountable to companies operating decentralized messengers.
   Quote from Decenter article

The company simply writes the code, compiles it, and releases it to the world. And it ends there. No matter what message the user sends, the messenger company cannot monitor or censor the content. And we are not responsible for it.

I think anyone who knows me knows how much I hate Telegram. In fact, there are many people who mistake a messenger that is not very secure as secure. The problem is, there are idiots who think that way even on the dark web, which requires a high degree of anonymity.

I always felt sorry for that. Some use a P2P messenger called Recochat, but it's been 4 years since the update was cut off. If you want to live longer, it is better not to use it anymore. Because constant software updates are essential for privacy.

So, while looking for a substitute, I have been paying attention to the messenger called Session since last year.

Before talking about the session, it would be a good idea to first explain Lokinet.

Lokinet is an anonymous network routing technology developed by an Australian foundation for the same purpose as Tor. Like Tor, it is based on onion routing, but the protocol and infrastructure is more decentralized than Tor. In addition, we use a cryptocurrency called Loki for payments inside the network and rewards for node operators. The foundation is Monero's fork.

According to an official comment a few months ago, Lokinet has over 1000 nodes. It's 1/8 of the Tor, but it's not lacking in terms of minimal anonymity. I feel that the number of nodes has recently increased and the countries with nodes have become more diverse.

Please read the white paper or FAQ for details.

And the session is a P2P messenger developed by the same foundation. We communicate through Lokinet to avoid exposing the user's IP.

According to the official introduction, the advantages of the session are as follows:

• Completely anonymous account creation: No phone number or email is required to create a session ID.

• Distributed Server Network: No data leakage, no central point of failure. Like Tor, Lokinet's nodes are run by volunteers all over the world.

• No Metadata Log: The session does not store, track, or log metadata for messages.

• IP address protection: Because communication is bypassed through Lokinet, IP is not exposed to the other party or node.

• Private Group: End-to-end encrypted private group chat with up to 10 people. More than that is an open chat room.

• Secure attachment: Share photos, files, voices, and more by encrypting them. There is also a VoIP function. Slow but

• Free and Open Source: Read the source code in the Github repository. There can be no such thing as a backdoor.

And unlike other P2P messengers, it supports offline messaging. Even if one side turns off the device for a moment or leaves, they can come back and read the messages they received. Although it is a decentralized messenger, from the perspective of users, there is no difference from using other commercial messengers.

   What about Session if the court forces you to disclose your identity?
   Session is a project of the Loki Foundation, so in situations like this, court orders are directed against the foundation.
   The Loki Foundation will follow legal orders. However, the Loki Foundation cannot disclose user identities simply because the Foundation does not have access to the data it needs to do so. Session account creation does not require or use an email address or phone number. The session ID (public key) is recorded, but there is no link between the public key and the person's real ID, and due to the distributed network of sessions, there is no way to associate the session ID to a specific IP address.
   Most of the information the Loki Foundation can provide is tangential information, such as access logs on the getsession.org website or statistics collected from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
   Among the FAQ

Even the foundation cannot know who is sending and receiving what messages. Therefore, it is the most secure and strong anonymity guaranteed.

The app is still in beta, but it is said that the source code is being audited recently. If safety is verified, it will be spotlighted as a replacement for Telegram. Furthermore, I personally think that it will become the second distributed dark web.

If you want to try it right now, just turn on your PC or smartphone, add my ID, and talk to me. PC, Android, and ios are all supported.

Finally

Every political group in the world wants to enjoy their vested interests forever. So the government will demand as much surveillance and censorship as possible for social control, and eventually wants to realize 1984 as a big brother. Not only our country, but the politicians and governments of all countries are hoping that this will happen.

As decentralization gained attention, there was little hope in putting a brake on the government's need for surveillance. How will the dirty top heads, who have been censoring and monitoring the network world so far, look when they learn that they can no longer control the Internet? When I imagine Big Brother's dreams being destroyed, the smiles really never stop.

That's a lot of fun.
