How To Send Messages, Emails, Media Anonymously?

There are many options available but still, we have that question in our mind. Why? because we don’t think they offer complete anonymity.

If you are not satisfied with the platform you are using, consider the Utopia P2P ecosystem.

What makes Utopia different from others?

The first difference is, it is a decentralized system, which means we have complete freedom on this platform.

Utopia is a complete suite from our daily used things like sending encrypted messages, encrypted Emails, file transfer, Chatting and internet browsing.

Utopia doesn’t have any centralized server. The data are stored on a local drive and encrypted using a combination of AES256 and CURVE25519 encryption method.

It also makes sure that your physical address never reveals.

How Utopia works?

When you send a message using Utopia, it encrypts the message with 3-layer encryption with the sender and receiver keys. As there is no centralized server for Utopia, when the messages pass through every P2P node, it adds temporary session keys to every node and sends the data to the receiver. The receiver also has to put his secure key to view the message.

Let’s test if it works exactly as it says!
