The Berty team is in a 6 month project with the Gno team. Because of this most of the team is working on Gno projects at the moment. But don’t think they forgot about Berty or Wesh. They have dedicated Friday afternoon to “Work on Berty” time. This means that every Friday afternoon they work on either the Berty app or the Wesh protocol. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-72/ Mon, 08 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-72/ News 72 📰 TLDR; The Berty team has been busy with changes and improvements to the Berty Messenger. The protocol behind the Berty Messenger has been separated to a stand-alone protocol called the Wesh Network , and Berty.tech has been updated. While looking for new partnerships for Wesh Network, the team recevied a Gno.land grant and build Gno Native Kit framework for building decentralized apps on mobile and desktop. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/pp2p-edition1/ Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/pp2p-edition1/ Meet us at ParisP2P Festival Edition #1 ParisP2P Festival Edition #1 starts today! 📍 Location: Ground Control (Paris,Fr) 🗓️ Date: April 29th - May 1st 🔗 Agenda: https://p2p.paris/festival An error occurred while retrieving the Tweet. It might have been deleted. It’s always a big pleasure to participate to convention, but this one is very special to us: we co-founded it and it connects all the Parisian ecosystem. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/building-web3/ Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/building-web3/ A few months ago, Protocol Labs contacted us to shoot a documentary about Berty as part of a series on Web3 builders. We were super honored and proud that they thought of us! Even if Berty is not based on a blockchain, we feel close and connected to this Web3 ecosystem. We share a lot of essential values such as privacy, data ownership, decentralization (just to name a few). So it was a real pleasure to be part of this film and to take time to think about the messages we wanted to convey. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/berty-not-war-ready/ Tue, 01 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/berty-not-war-ready/ Berty is NOT war-ready (yet). Paris, March 1st. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Berty was downloaded as a “war-proof” messenger alternative. Berty should not yet be used as such. It is our duty to be extremely transparent about Berty’s state of development in this context. This is a serious set of circumstances and there are human lives involved. For two major reasons, it’s sadly too early for Berty to be deployed for crisis use. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-71/ Wed, 02 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-71/ News #71 Hey, you! It’s been a long time since we’ve been in touch… our bad. As always, we’ve been pretty busy. This is the limitation of small teams. 🙃 To sum up: We still have the goal of releasing Berty very soon but we faced a stability issue (see below) and it delayed all that… grr. We reasonably hope that we’ll be able to say more in a month or so. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-70/ Fri, 17 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-70/ News #70 Hey How are you doing? Are you slowly getting ready for Christmas, or is it the traditional end-of-year rush? At Berty, things are getting faster! We still have in mind to be ready for release at the beginning of Q1 2022. We are on the right track. 😉 Without too many technical details, the Berty application presently has some minor stability issues over time. For example, when a conversation is too important (=with a lot of texts & data), the loading time is relatively slow to be usable on a daily basis. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-69/ Fri, 03 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-69/ News #69 Hey Sorry to bother you after while you are probably unboxing your Black Friday/CyberMonday purchases. It’s just us: the Berty team. We hope you’re good. A lot of things are moving forward here. We’re making good progress on the application. The push notifications are there, which makes the app usable on a daily basis. As we say in French “ça sent bon” (=it smells great!). We hope that the next few weeks will be as productive as the last few, allowing us to bring Berty to life in early 2022. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-68/ Fri, 29 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-68/ News #68 🎃👻 Hi dear friends, As it has been for over two years now, here is your bi-weekly recap of Berty.

Yes, you read the headline correctly: We’re going to get a million dollar in NodleCash ($NODL) to advance on the Berty protocol. 🚀 All of this is possible because of the people at Nodle. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-66/ Fri, 24 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-66/ News #66 Howdy! How are you doing? Here is the return of the more regular newsletters. The news from the team is pretty good. Everyone has recharged their batteries for the many challenges ahead. We had a meeting early last week about Berty’s next steps. The motivation was/is still good, and the team was aligned on the same goals. We have a lot of work to do, especially in Q4 (Read the Community section below to learn more). https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-65/ Fri, 27 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-65/ News #65 Wazzzaaaaaaaa We hope you’re good :) As some people noticed, there was no newsletter last week. The reason is quite simple: our ops team was on vacation. Next week it’s the technical team’s turn. (For our more detail-oriented readers, you can notice that there are still crew members on the ship. 🏴☠️) Without further ado, here is your Berty digest! 🚀 Open Source Two past weeks recap Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past few weeks: https://berty.tech/pt/blog/liberty-vs-safety/ Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/liberty-vs-safety/ What do we think about the potential criminal uses of Berty? An eminently important question that we are regularly asked: What is our reasoning, and our approach to the potential use of the Berty protocol in criminal cases? Thanks to @jilleJr for opening this question on our GitHub ; this is an excellent opportunity to explain our position. The radical privacy dilemma At the Berty Core team, we believe that the right to secure and private communication is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all without restriction. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-64/ Fri, 06 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-64/ News #64 Hi cool kids 🏴☠️ And here is already August.

Sorry for this interruption of more than a month without news from Berty. We’ve been pretty busy lately. Mainly because we’ve been responding to a big RFP. We can’t say much about it right now but it would be great news for Berty! As usual: the little word on the team. Everyone is doing well - except for Clement who was injured during a track and field practice. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-54/ Fri, 12 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-54/ News #54 Ahoy Bertizen! 🏴‍☠️ We hope you are doing well! Let’s get it out of the way: How’s your Bitcoin? We take this opportunity to place an ad: If anyone has the ear of Elon Musk, tell him to invest in Berty. Not necessarily 1.5 billion, but a few thousand-to-million (yanno, pocket change) would be welcome. A short word about the team as usual: Everybody’s doing well, working hard, firing on all cylinders, etc. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/hackernews-reddit-week/ Mon, 08 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/hackernews-reddit-week/ What a crazy week! That’s the gist of it, really. We received a lot of exposure following two posts in particular - one in HackerNews and one on Reddit Opensource . As we noted in our newsletter , many of you joined us following these articles. It’s not just these mentions amplifying this momentum – it’s the curiosity and passion of the people who saw them, or who’re already signed on. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-53/ Fri, 29 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-53/ News #53 Ahoy Bertizen! 🏴‍☠️ We’ve gotten a lot of new subscribers since a Hacker News post on Wednesday and in Reddit/Open - thanks to those who published us! Welcome aboard if you’re among them! The waters are choppy, and the stronger our crew, the better. (A special toast for the familiar faces from the early days is in order, too! 🍻) As usual, quick update about the Berty team. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-52/ Fri, 15 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-52/ News #52 Ahoy Bertizen! 🏴‍☠️ And here we are in 2021! Happy New Year to all. We wish you happiness and health, free speech, privacy and love. Since WhatsApp announced its privacy policy “changes” (or, yanno, obliteration thereof) and Elon’s unusually on-point tweet, we’ve gotten countless messages asking us when we’ll be up to bat. Thanks – we hear you, and we stand with you. And with everyone tired of watching its privacy dropped off a cliff by every company that can profit from it. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/blockchain-berty/ Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/blockchain-berty/ Blockchain & Berty: Glad you asked! As we write these lines, Bitcoin’s value has just surpassed its ATH (All Time High). Prepare yourself: In a few days, BTC will be trending everywhere – again – along with its more mysterious sibling, the blockchain. Curious if Berty has anything to do with this shadowy figure? You won’t be the first. This post is for you! Since 2017, the term “blockchain” has been used to promote an image of radical innovation – and radical wealth. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-51/ Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-51/ News #51 Ahoy Bertizen! 🏴‍☠️ Yes, we know, no newsletter last week. We can explain! We gave two talks last week — not much time to properly prepare your dose of berty updates. The holidays are coming up fast.

We’ll take this moment to wish you happy holidays, and all the best for the end of the year. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/2020-talks/ Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/2020-talks/ TALKS AT PBWS & IPFS WRAP UP 2020 This week, no news[letter] is good news!

You speak English? Lucky you! According to Babbel , about 360 million people speak English as their first language. And many more people read/talk English: about 20% of the world’s population or 1.5 billion people. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. This is one of the reasons why we communicate almost exclusively in English. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/surveillance-france/ Tue, 01 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/surveillance-france/ Why we need to radicalize. Berty was born in Paris, France 🇫🇷 but is growing up in the shared custody of contributors around the world. Not by accident — we’ve been making a conscious push for geographic decentralization from day one. Freedom from surveillance is an unalienable right, not bestowed by one government or societal norm. Maybe it’s in our blood. Human rights have long been the keystone of the French people’s expectations of (and tolerance for) its government. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-50/ Fri, 27 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-50/ News #50 Ahoy Bertizen! 🏴‍☠️ Today is newsletter #50!

That makes it one of the fastest-growing and largest sectors in IT, globally. Cybersecurity is a buzzword that’s often heard, and most people have a notion about what it consists of. But the things you may not know are always the things others will try to exploit. In this article, you’ll get a basic breakdown of what cybersecurity is and hopefully realize the onus is largely on you to stay safe. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/art-for-privacy/ Thu, 05 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/art-for-privacy/ Art For Privacy As an NGO, we feel invested of a mission. We strongly believe that there can be no change without education and awareness. We promote a free world without surveillance and censorship. So how do we do it?

It’s a reasonably rare subject on the web. We thought we’d tell you about it because it’s a topic that’s close to our hearts. We’ve been fighting for two years to build a messaging application that preserves privacy. So we’re going to explain why it’s so important, and why it’s necessary to limit their collections. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-42/ Fri, 07 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-42/ News #42 Ahoy fellow Bertizens! 🏴‍☠️ Can you believe it’s August already?

We thought it would be nice to do a post on how to protect it a little more, starting with simple things: creating a strong password. But what is a strong password? A password is strong if the most potent computer takes years to crack it.

However, we do follow our intuitions, and these led us a few years ago to start the Berty project.

Dictators hate us. 🏛 No server, no leaks. This is the radical view of the Berty Technologies team. In a nutshell, the principle is quite simple: Berty itself hosts no data. There are no servers to host them on! Users are both “users” and “relays” of the network. 2. The world needs privacy. Now. ⚠️ Privacy has become the currency we trade for many of the Internet services we rely on. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-40/ Fri, 10 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-40/ News #40 Ahoy! 🏴‍☠️ Quick notice before we move on to the news: ❕ Urgent appeal for collaboration to fight censorship in Hong Kong We are in a hurry to move forward more quickly because of situations like the ones in Hong Kong.

It occurs when access to certain websites, networks, and search engines becomes restricted. When governments delete or distort news and information deemed undesirable. When writers, artists, and web users are threatened with legal action by the police for expressing their views. China, for example, is known for its advanced internet control apparatus.

However, little is known about their work, and the very term NGO is a very vague concept for most people. In this article, we will explore why they are so popular when we know so little about them.

As technology keeps enhancing our lives, we continue to allow apps and programs to weave into our everyday activities. Fitness apps track our run times, calories burned, heart rate, and give us feedback on our progress. Facebook shows us ads of the products we talked about last week and suggests possible friends to add when we were just introduced yesterday. Our GPS apps give us notifications on the traffic for our usual Monday commute to the gym, our Tuesday grocery store trip, and even faster routes home. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-25/ Fri, 13 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-25/ Hello to all! We hope you are well! This week the newsletter is on Friday the 13th! Coincidence? We don’t think so. 😅 Happy reading, folks! Current Work Tech Berty Protocol Manfred and the technical team worked in-depth on long-term and short-term consumption of the Berty Protocol. There are numerous edge cases and that raise many challenges, like: How will the consumption of bertyprotocol API be realized for external contributors? https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-24/ Fri, 06 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-24/ As promised last week, we have some great news to announce today 😉! Happy reading! Current Work Tech: gomobile-ipfs is (almost) complete! The initial implementation of the gomobile-ipfs packages for Android and iOS is complete and awaiting a review by the Textile and Protocol Labs teams! Here are some screenshots of our not-so-beautiful example application used as a how-to for devs who want to use the lib: https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-23/ Fri, 29 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-23/ Hello dear friends from all over the globe 🧤 We hope you are doing well and that you had a good thanksgiving! 🦃🍁 Happy reading! Current Work Tech: It’s gonna be…wait for it! We have an exciting announcement for you next Friday. We wouldn’t want to spoil this surprise too early so we opted to wait till next week. Stay tuned 🙊 Do you have any idea what that could be? https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-22/ Fri, 22 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-22/ A quick message: We would like to sincerely THANK YOU because we get a lot of feedback and new suscribers to our weekly newsletter. So, welcome to the new ones and thank you all for following our wild adventure! Current Work Tech: Gomobile-ipfs Antoine and Guilhem implemented a basic Unix domain socket system that will be used for gomobile-ipfs shell access (the node will serve its API over UDS) and for the arbitrary peer dialing feature. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/smartphone-surveillance/ Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/smartphone-surveillance/ Are Smartphones the best surveillance devices? Hi Internet! Did you know that today there are more people on the planet who own a smartphone than a toothbrush? Sounds crazy, right? 😱 Odds are you’re reading this article on your mobile phone or have one in your pocket! 🔮 What’s sitting in your pocket is the most powerful tracking device ever made: localization, habits, communication. Everything could be monitored. Mass Surveillance of Chat App Communication Surveillance has been the subject of much controversy, especially after Edward Snowden’s expose. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-21/ Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-21/ Before starting with the news, we just wanted to tell you that Tuesday was the birthday of our lead dev & UX designer! Come on, sing it with us: “Happy birthday Alexandra”. 🎉 Current Work Tech: OrbitDB Guillaume streamlined OrbitDB checks in access controllers, we no longer verify the payload content, thus allowing to pin the DB contents on 3rd parties. Gomobile-ipfs Guilhem and Antoine found the best approach to allow gomobile-ipfs to handle incoming and outgoing connections with a given peer using streams. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-20/ Fri, 08 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-20/ Current Work Tech: OrbitDB Guillaume finished writing the OrbitDB custom access controller and the store for the members of the Berty groups. Berty Protocol Antoine, Guillaume & Manfred continue working on the protocol and they have finished defining the missing bertyprotocol protobuf messages. Ops: Paris P2P #3 This week (just like every first Wednesday of the month) we went to ParisP2P . It’s really fantastic to meet passionate and exciting people every time. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-19/ Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-19/ This week is quite special: we did a full team training on Monday and Friday is a day off in France. This is why you received this newsletter today and why it is a little shorter than the previous ones. Oh by the way, Happy Halloween, guys! 🎃 Current Work Bazel x IPFS: As we are building a decentralized/distributed software, we don’t want to rely on centralized dependency management (e.g. if GitHub is down, most of the time we won’t be able to build our app). https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-18/ Fri, 25 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-18/ Current Work Berty V2: Bazel & React Native Guilhem and Norman built and ran a React Native Android Berty app using Bazel for the first time. Woo woo! 🎉 V2 Screens Clément (our new recruit) dived into the front part with the help of Godefroy. He is doing well and is starting to set up many of the v2 screens. Soon we will be able to show you the results.👏 https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-17/ Fri, 18 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-17/ Current Work Berty V2: We keep on working on the new Berty.

Gomobile-ipfs: It’s still in progress, but we continue working on the integration of gomobile on Berty. We hope to finish it asap 😉 Ops During the week, we worked on ParisP2P and FranceP2P. The website has been reorganized and new meetings events have been added. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/digital_signature/ Thu, 17 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/digital_signature/ Digital Signatures The digital signature (sometimes called an electronic signature) isn’t a literal digitalized signature. In layman’s terms, it is a procedure that guarantees the integrity and the authenticity of digital documents and messages. The name of a digital signature comes from the analogy with the handwritten signature of a paper document. Everyone knows that there is a lot of paperwork in the world of business. And, where there is paperwork, there is a lot of validation, approvals, etc. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/cryptography-daily-usage/ Wed, 16 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/cryptography-daily-usage/ Cryptography in Our Daily Usage One could refer to cryptography as being meta-cryptic. In its own way, cryptography is a bit mysterious and probably vague to many people. You may not notice it, but we all use it without actually being aware of it most of the time. Do you use debit and credit cards? Can you see the tiny lock in your browser’s address bar? Do you use a remote key to unlock your car? https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-16/ Fri, 11 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-16/ Current Work Berty V2: This week, we are still working on refactoring the application to present you with a nice V2. We integrated IPFS into Berty, as well as the handshake on the network, the crypto implementation and a bridge between “gomobile” and Berty (Whoo!). Gomobile-ipfs: As announced in our previous newsletters, the first version of the repo is complete. We are therefore preparing for participation in the debate on the gomobile-ipfs architecture and start working on integrating gomobile on Berty. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-15/ Fri, 04 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-15/ Current Work V2: The intermediate layer between the front and the protocol is currently being developed. This layer is called “Berty Chat”. Crypto: We started to work on groups communications and handshakes. Gomobile-ipfs: We continued working on gomobile-ipfs. We try to do the setup of a local webui for gomobile-ipfs. Berty’s protocol: This week, we have started to configure the standard code and project layout to support the new protocol. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-14/ Fri, 27 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-14/ Current Work V2 Berty: We are still implementing the V2 of Berty’s app. We are currently working on the cryptography, more specifically: the account sigchain. This week, the team has completely reorganized the project’s repository. #clapclap! Gomobile-ipfs: As announced in our previous newsletter, we have completed the first version of the repo. However, the IPFS team is currently reviewing this initial version and is requesting changes before the repo is transferred to the IPFS organization. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-13/ Fri, 20 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-13/ Current Work After a week of our annual closure: we are back to work 💪 We have a couple of nice news to share with you: V2 Berty: We’ve already been talking about it in our several newsletters and so you know that we started the V2 of the application. We already worked on the new interfaces, new crypto and a brand new Berty protocol. AND we are so pleased to say that we have officially started the implementation. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-12/ Fri, 06 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-12/ Current Work First of all, you can update your version of Berty via Yolo.

You have probably already heard about cryptography and, more specifically, about end-to-end encryption. But do you know what it really is? In this article, you’ll learn more about this method at the heart of many (but not all) secure instant messaging applications. Encryption is a computer algorithm that ensures that the data you exchange with one or more people can only be read by the correct recipient, and not by a random person who may be malicious. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-11/ Fri, 30 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-11/ Current Work In a nutshell, the main topics of this week were: The app design: Alex, our UI designer, showed us the latest version of the app. It’s more simple, more direct, more intuitive and much more cool! We can’t wait to fully integrate it and have feedbacks! Well done, Alex 👏. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): Last week, we mentioned that we worked on optimizing the reliability of Android driver + we merged some code to the master version of Yolo. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-10/ Fri, 23 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-10/ Work in progress The team is working on the following topic: BLE, Zero-knowledge Push Notifications Server, a simple React Native example for gomobile-ipfs, improve bug reports with Instabug, improve overall quality with a new user-acceptance-tests framework and working on the Help & Support content.

Perhaps. But to find its origins, we have to go back in time a few thousand years. ⏳ Origins of Cryptography Over 5600 years ago, the Sumerians and the Egyptians needed a better way to record transactions. So they invented cuneiform and hieroglyphics, two of the oldest forms of writing. https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-01/ Fri, 21 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/newsletter/news-01/ Current Work Website We updated our website.

Just like any other year, 2018 had its ups and downs. However, a notable trend among those low points was widespread in privacy leaks. Unfortunately, data breaches are an all-too-common occurrence. It’s only the world we live in, and sometimes it feels like hardly a week can go by without another company notifying its users that their privacy may have been compromised. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/privacy-social-network/ Mon, 07 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/privacy-social-network/ How Social Networks Affect Our Privacy? Privacy is a difficult concept to grasp. Our world is changing from day to day, and it is sometimes difficult to define what is on the private side or public side. Besides, is it possible to define private? Is putting a beautiful photograph on Instagram, something private? However, it is indeed my photo, my life and it is up to me to choose who can look at it. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/national-security-privacy/ Fri, 28 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/national-security-privacy/ Since the emergence of large-scale terrorism, the limitations of public security have been the subject of much controversy at the current time. To preserve everyone’s safety, the findings are as follows: mass surveillance is overgrowing and is detrimental to the protection of our private sphere. Associations defending citizens' rights and freedoms, such as the World NGO, are worried about the expansion of the surveillance resources available and the legislation to put them in place. https://berty.tech/pt/blog/privacy-security-safety/ Mon, 24 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/blog/privacy-security-safety/ Security, safety, privacy, and intimacy are closely related terms. They respectively define very different specific nuances, and yet we regularly mix them up.

So you are being watched online. Why should you care? After all, you are doing nothing wrong. You have nothing to hide, right? You just go online to chat with your friends, maybe argue with strangers, and life moves on!

There is a protocol that uses advanced cryptography and a messenger app that is built on top of the protocol. No phone number or email required to create an account End-to-end encryption used to encrypt all conversations Focus on leaking as little metadata as possible Decentralized, distributed, serverless No concensus, no blockchain No internet connection required (uses the BLE technology and mDNS) Free forever, no data stored, transparent code, open-source Berty is currently developed by Berty Technologies, a French non-profit organization. https://berty.tech/pt/compare/8-offline-communication/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/compare/8-offline-communication/ Berty was created to withstand extreme conditions and be bulletproof to the future. We designed Berty as if the application would work on Mars to mimic extreme network conditions and we came up with this crazy idea: what if there is no network available? We have to handle it. So, we develop a way to communicate without any internet connection, by using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and mDNS. https://berty.tech/pt/community/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/community/ Welcome in Berty’s community 🏠🗺️ Community Welcome to the Berty family.

The Berty Protocol provides secure communication between devices owned by the same account, communication between contacts in one-to-one conversations, as well as communication between several users in multi-member groups. This paper will explain how those points are implemented in a distributed and asynchronous way, both with or without internet access using IPFS and direct transports such as BLE. https://berty.tech/pt/compare/2-end-to-end-encryption/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/compare/2-end-to-end-encryption/ End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is intended to prevent data from being read or secretly modified, other than by the true sender and recipient(s). Unlike Telegram & Messenger, it’s activated by default in the Berty app. 🚀 Benefits: Data protection: no third parties can decipher the data being communicated or stored Prevents potential eavesdroppers including your telecom providers, your ISP and even us as providers of the communication service 🤨 Cons: https://berty.tech/pt/contact/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/contact/ Early look Access to github repositories, download a preview version of the app...

The reason is straightforward: Blockchains need consensus, the Internet, and wait times for validation — the things we wanted to avoid in Berty. Above all, blockchains are much more suitable for validating transactions without a central authority than for exchanging messages anonymously. Berty is build with the Wesh protocol. In the end, Wesh is very different from blockchain. The Wesh Protocol is built with the “no-consensus” philosophy from start to finish, and it can operate without Internet access. https://berty.tech/pt/features/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/features/ Warning: the Android app (including apk) is currently unavailable for download and use due to an ongoing essential security update.

Introduction go-tor-transport is a transport proving access to an libp2p network through the tor network. To do that the code mainly uses go-libtor to provide a go linking of the Tor’s node. So at the start it either connects to a node running in system or start his own one embed in the binary, so usage can be seemless as possible. https://berty.tech/pt/challenges/1-goals/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/challenges/1-goals/ Provide a secure messenger that would preserve privacy and anonymity of its users Create a chat application that works over P2P network on desktop and mobile platforms Provide an easy to use Protocol, so that developers can create secure applications over P2P networks on desktop and mobile Improve the strengths and entropy of P2P networks by adding a lot of new peers Be able to do off-grid communication (offline-first) Be resilient against censorship Be resilient against mass surveillance by minimizing metadata leakage Being an alternative to the existing models powered by GAFAM or controlled/controllable by the government In working towards those goals, Berty is facing certain challenges. https://berty.tech/pt/docs/gomobile-ipfs/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/docs/gomobile-ipfs/ Gomobile-IPFS This repo aims to provide packages for Android, iOS and React-Native that allow one to run and use an IPFS node on mobile devices.

New instant messaging applications appear on the market every day. Developers and application owners usually focus on commercial gains, while user anonymity and privacy take a backseat. Most consumer messaging applications now use encryption in an effort to preserve user privacy, but in 2022, that's simply not enough. The Achilles’ Heel: Central Servers The weak point of all these messengers is that they rely on the use of central servers. https://berty.tech/pt/press_old/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/press_old/ Press documents Berty_PRESS_KIT.pdf Image Assets View all assets Contact Follow Us Vector logos (.svg format) Download Download Download Images logos (. https://berty.tech/pt/privacy-policy/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/privacy-policy/ At Berty, accessible from https://berty.tech , one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors.

The application is designed to work even without the internet and without a SIM card, through a distributed network. Berty is an anti-surveillance communication tool and is very difficult to censor.

It belongs to and depends on an entity that controls all the information that passes through it. What happens if this identity is malicious? Or if it is threatened by a third party or simply hacked? Our personal data cannot be truly protected if it is dependent on a single identity. If a government decides to isolate a country and cut off the internet, the centralized system becomes non-functional. https://berty.tech/pt/compare/10-berty-is-not/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/compare/10-berty-is-not/ Sometimes, it’s easier to explain a thing by detailing what this thing is not 😉 So Berty is not: a centralized instant messaging (ie: Signal) an unsecured app (ie: Facebook Messenger) a proprietary software (ie: WhatsApp) a paid app (ie: Threema) a blockchain project (ie: Session, Status.im) a commercial project (ie: Olvid) https://berty.tech/pt/compare/11-will-do/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/compare/11-will-do/ Beyond all classic features of instant messaging (Audio, Video, Stickers…), Berty will: relinquish control over Berty and to make it become a truly global community project decentralize his governance through a DAO keep on implementing awesome features to be future-ready https://berty.tech/pt/faq/2-decentralized-distributed/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/faq/2-decentralized-distributed/ A network is called decentralized when it doesn’t depend on a single entity, and thus does not pass through a central server where all of the resources are stored. A decentralized system gives the possibility to third parties to set up a server for a service and to transmit its data. A distributed network does not rely on any server. It’s a P2P system. Peers who communicate with each other and exchange data over the network. https://berty.tech/pt/faq/3-peer-to-peer/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/faq/3-peer-to-peer/ There are different models for establishing a connection between two programs. One is called a “client”, and the other is a “server”. In general, the “client” program makes a request and the “server” responds to this request. It is an “asymmetrical” architecture which passes through a central server. Berty uses a symmetrical model called peer-to-peer (P2P), in which it is the responsibility of both programs to play the roles of both the client and the server. https://berty.tech/pt/faq/4-connection-to-ipfs/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/faq/4-connection-to-ipfs/ IPFS is a protocol + peer-to-peer network developed by Protocol Labs. The mission of this software is to democratize the distributed internet. The principle of IPFS is to set up a shared hard drive, while also ensuring immutability. It is more resilient and can also work without the internet. Berty’s protocol is based on IPFS. https://berty.tech/pt/faq/11-whats-the-encryption-protocol-used-in-berty/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/faq/11-whats-the-encryption-protocol-used-in-berty/ We developed a custom protocol partly based on the symmetric key ratchet of Signal and which rely on NaCl Box (Curve25519, XSalsa20 and Poly1305) and NaCl SecretBox (XSalsa20 and Poly1305).

In our world, anyone could have their data collected and their communications intercepted. This is the sad consequence of pervasive mass surveillance across the globe. Certain groups of people are at higher risk because of their activity: journalists, military personnel, government officials, activists, corporate members, lawyers, whistleblowers. https://berty.tech/pt/faq/12-will-berty-be-free/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/faq/12-will-berty-be-free/ Yes, and it will always be.

While it is conceptually possible to ask other peers to delete the encryption keys after a message being read, you won’t have any guarantee that the other party is not using a modified client, those clients may not comply with those requests. We will make those features available for people chatting with other normal people, but as soon as you are talking with potentially bad people, you can’t have any guarantees. https://berty.tech/pt/faq/14-will-it-have-file-sharing-voice-video-chat/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/faq/14-will-it-have-file-sharing-voice-video-chat/ We plan to offer those features in the future.

In a P2P network, peers need to know each other’s IP addresses in order to communicate. On the one hand, the information is dispersed like a drop in the ocean (as opposed to a centralized service that logs all the users’ IPs in a single place), on the other hand, the users’ IP address becomes, in a way, public on the network. https://berty.tech/pt/docs/yolo/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 contact@berty.tech (Berty Technologies) https://berty.tech/pt/docs/yolo/ Yolo Yolo is one-stop realtime feed of ready-to-install releases and tests for your apps.
