This paper describes basic ideas and architectural patterns of application for peering communications. The issue of inviolability of correspondence appears to be extremely important nowadays. On the one hand, owing to the increasing number of hacker attacks who are finding more and more vulnerabilities in everyday applications. On the other hand, bills are more frequently carried aimed at strengthening control over people's online activities all around the world, which is an invasion of the right of privacy. Most popular messengers have centralised architecture, where all messages, audio and video calls are stored on the servers of the development companies, and consequently in case of successful attack intruders will gain access to personal data of a colossal number of people. One of the ways to drive out the risks of data leakage and prevent unauthorised access by third-parties is to use a distributed model of data maintenance and secure encryption.
