The Matrix protocol
The Matrix protocol guarantees better protection of privacy!
At a time when Telegram is in the news, Goodtech.info takes a look at the Matrix protocol.
It is an Open Source, decentralised protocol designed to create instant messaging systems that are much more respectful of privacy.
Unlike traditional messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, WeChat or Facebook Messenger, Matrix is not controlled by a single company, but is managed by an Open Source community open to all.
This is naturally the technical choice made by LINAGORA for its Twake Chat solution integrated with Twake Workplace.
The uses of Matrix :
Personal communication: Matrix can be used to chat online (text, images, videos, video) with friends, colleagues or anyone in the world;
Collaboration: Matrix can also be used for communication and collaboration within a team;
- Online community: Matrix can be used to create forums and discussion groups for online communities.
Example: Mozilla has replaced IRC with Matrix in 2019;
The advantages of Matrix :
- Decentralisation: Your data is not stored on a single centralised server, but on a network of independent servers.
This makes Matrix more resistant to censorship and service breakdowns;
Open Source: The Matrix code is accessible to all via Github (in particular), which ensures greater transparency and security;
Interoperability: You can communicate with users on other Matrix servers, even if you use different clients on different operating systems (Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, IOS, BSD, ChromeOS);
Advanced features: Matrix supports so-called bridges to other messaging networks, bots and chat rooms;
