Year of Graduation: 2024

Due to growing concerns about privacy and data security in messaging apps, there is an increasing demand for decentralized peer-to-peer communication platforms. This project aims to develop a decentralized P2P messenger that allows users to communicate directly with each other without the need for central servers. The system will prioritize user privacy by providing end-to-end encryption of messages and ensuring that user data is not stored on any centralized servers. The project involves the development and implementation of a secure and efficient messaging protocol, as well as the creation of a user-friendly interface for seamless communication. This work presents an overview of the project's objectives and goals, highlighting the importance of decentralized communication in the modern digital landscape. The work contains 39 pages, 3 chapters, 2 images, 1 table, 18 sources. Keywords: Peer-to-Peer, Decentralized Hash Table, End-to-End Encryption, Privacy.
