(i haven’t seen it mentioned in this sub. it has improved quite a bit since its inception. it deserves some credit🥂)
Jami is a free/libre, end-to-end encrypted and private communication platform that requires no central authority.
Multiple devices can be linked to a Jami account, and no personal information is required to create an account.
What features does Jami include?
- Instant messaging
- Audio and video calls
- Swarms (group chats)
- Video-conferences and Rendezvous points with no third-party hosting
- Audio and video message recording
- Screen sharing and media streaming
- Built-in extension platform for new features and experiences
- Jami can also function as a SIP client
Jami uses a distributed hash table (DHT) to connect peers. Jami accounts are asymmetric X.509 certificates generated by the GnuTLS library. Calls are made over the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) after negotiating a TLS-encrypted secure connection, performing Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) communication which carries the media streams.
It really shouldn’t check for unique names since it has the Distributed Hash-Table<br> Honestly, this has proven to be a bit annoying, the DHT is all it should need for an ID<br> Also we can’t even properly delete our Accounts
