Veilid uses end-to-end encryption to enable safe information flow across applications, making it harder for governments to intercept data.<\/p>\n<p data-ar-index=\"3\">Veilid secures material via end-to-end encryption, making it harder for governments or other organisations to intercept messages. Veilid is also designed to provide as a basis for non-data harvesting chat, file sharing, and social networking apps. In contrast to standard applications that collect comprehensive user data for targeted advertising.<\/p>\n<p data-ar-index=\"3\">Veilid guarantees that material is entirely encrypted and that no personal data is stored. It runs on a decentralized peer-to-peer network in which users exchange data with one another rather than downloading from a central server.<\/p>\n<p data-ar-index=\"4\">Veilid is described as &#8220;an open-source, peer-to-peer, mobile-first networked application framework, with a flagship secure messaging application named VeilidChat.&#8221; This type of application framework is a flexible software package that can be iterated on and updated by injecting new code into it.<\/p>\n<p data-ar-index=\"5\">The unveiling of Veilid will take place at the highly anticipated annual Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p data-ar-index=\"6\">The sources for this piece include an article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/08\/02\/encryption-dead-cow-cult-apps-def-con\/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNjkwOTQ4ODAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNjkyMzMxMTk5LCJpYXQiOjE2OTA5NDg4MDAsImp0aSI6IjliNmFkMzM2LTVkYzktNGY4NC05MzNkLWNiY2VjZWFlMzhhMSIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5LzIwMjMvMDgvMDIvZW5jcnlwdGlvbi1kZWFkLWNvdy1jdWx0LWFwcHMtZGVmLWNvbi8ifQ.8FP1yys24DImIzzmc7jSkI-eHEcGWKUQ5UO70--eoi0&amp;utm_source=reddit.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WashingtonPost<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cult of the Dead Cow, a group of technology activists known for spreading hacking tools and pressuring software corporations to improve security, has revealed intentions to build an end-to-end encrypted protocol for app development known as Veilid App developers may now implement strong encryption while foregoing money from targeted advertising based on user data thanks [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[349],"tags":[577],"class_list":["post-40327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-development","tag-development"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40327"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40329,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40327\/revisions\/40329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
