Recently, I have been sauntering through the
town and noticed a strange graffiti on the pavement. As for the super curious
person, I decided that it was my duty to find out what it was about.
I asked a couple of friends who said that they
also saw such things in their cities but didn’t know what they meant. That only
enhanced the intrigue.
So I googled it and found out the information and was
pretty astonished at what a cool thing it is. I have been using it for a month,
and now, I’m sharing my knowledge of it.
What the heck is Utopia P2P Ecosystem?
Utopia P2P Ecosystem is a decentralized
peer-to-peer network created with one noble aim - to give people control over
their own data, to provide privacy on the Net and complete security.
Why ecosystem? Utopia offers a single software
that includes all tools and services which people need every day: an instant
messenger, email, file transfer, e-wallet (with own cryptocurrency Crypton),
and a browser to surf the web-resources inside the ecosystem.
As a person, who had had to use services like
GuerillaMail to send confidential info, Utopia seemed a real the one and only needed
service - it’s so convenient and saves tons of time.
But what is really impressive is not handiness
but a level of security and anonymity it promises.
First, it is a decentralized P2P ecosystem - new wave (or not so new, if to give
thought to the matter) in security concept. That means that all the data sent
and received go directly between peers-users. Such a concept sidesteps the idea
of the presence of central servers where the data is usually stored. That means
that each user’s data is secure as no third parties have access to it.
Second, all
the messages, emails, and traffic are encrypted. Here are used the advanced
encryption techniques - 256 bit AES and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. With it,
I’m sure that all my information that I shared won’t be intercepted and viewed
by some other people.
Third, even the registration on it is anonymous. I used fake name and surname, and
that’s all, the account was created, personal key for local data storage was
generated. I stay calm, my stuff stays secure. That’s all that I have been
looking for.
It is worth mentioning that the ecosystem is
available for everybody for free, which is a huge plus for me.
So why are people so obsessed with Utopia?
I can understand those people who said that
Utopia becomes their shelter. It is a really convenient platform which is
saving you the trouble of having to use a dozen different services and some
turning on some security software. And what is vital, it offers a nice security
level.
Moreover, its interface is so simple, even
grandmas will catch on how to use it.
