What is the Session highly secure messaging app video tutorial about?

In the tutorial "Session, a very secure messaging app", I introduce you to the Session app. A messaging app that is focused on privacy but also on ease of use.

What is Session?

Session is a messaging app that puts privacy first.

Official description of the application:

"Session is a messaging app with end-to-end encryption that minimizes sensitive metadata, designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance.. "

In a single sentence, in Romanian; Session is an application with which you can chat with whoever you want, without fear that you can be listened to or intercepted for subsequent decryption of the conversations.

For those who are curious to find out more details, there is a document on the official website, which quite clearly explains how it works and why Session is so safe.

...and for privacy enthusiasts, you can also find a whitepaper on the official website that describes in detail the ins and outs of Session functionality.

Why don't Whatsapp, Messenger or Telegram offer the privacy that Session offers?

Almost all messenger applications, when creating an account, require a phone number, email, or linking to a Google, Facebook, etc. account.

The fact that account conversations are linked to phone number or email makes it extremely easy to collect metadata.

What is metadata and why is it bad for privacy?

Metadata is the set of data generated outside of conversations.

First of all, the unique ID that each account receives, which is linked to the phone number, email, Facebook account, etc.

After that there is metadata related to hours, minutes, location, nearby Wi-Fi networks, screen orientation, device movements, other unique IDs that we come into contact with.

Even if you can't see the conversations, you can see the interactions and traces, which remain like crumbs from the famous story.

Based on metadata, conversations can be accessed, which even if encrypted, can be decrypted with powerful hardware.

To create a Session account and start conversations, you don't need a phone number or email.

The basic privacy on Session comes from the fact that the account is not linked to a phone number or email, and the name you choose can be a fictitious one.

A global network of nodes for maximum privacy – Session highly secure messaging app

Session messages are encrypted and carried through many nodes, so that there is no direct connection between the participants in the conversation.

So, account creation is anonymous, without identification data; The exchange of messages is anonymous and their transmission from one side to another is done through a series of nodes in different places in the world, for anonymization of traffic.

Be careful when transferring the application to other devices:

If you like the app and start using it, you should think about keeping your recovery password safe.

In the Session application, because there is no central server to store data, it is not possible to recover an account as we are used to with other services.

With Session YOU ARE ON YOUR BEARD!
