 ## Why privacy of communications matter
 
-Everyone should care about privacy and security of their communications - ordinary conversations can put you in danger even if you are innocent.

-One of the most shocking stories is the experience of [Mohamedou Ould Slahi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamedou_Ould_Slahi) that he wrote about in his memoir and that is shown in The Mauritanian movie. He was put into Guantanamo camp, without trial, and was tortured there for 15 years after a phone call to his relative in Afghanistan, under suspicion of being involved in 9/11 attacks, even though he lived in Germany since 10 years prior to the attacks.

-Proposed stack of protocols solves these problems by making both messages and contacts stored only on client devices, reducing the role of the servers to simple message relays that only require authorization of messages sent to the queues, but do NOT require user authentication - not only the messages but also the metadata is protected becuse users do not have any identifiers assiged to them - unlike with any other platforms.

-As you have no identifier on SimpleX platform, you cannot be contacted unless you share a one-time invitation link or an optional temporary user address. Even with the optinal user addresses, while they can be used to send spam contact requests, you can change or completely delete it without losing any of your connections.

 1. [P2P][9] networks use some variant of [DHT][10] to route messages/requests through the network. DHT implementations have complex designs that have to balance reliability, delivery guarantee and latency. The proposed design has both better delivery guarantees and lower latency (the message is passed multiple times in parallel, through one node each time, using servers chosen by the recipient, while in P2P networks the message is passed through `O(log N)` nodes sequentially, using nodes chosen by the algorithm).

 3. P2P itself does not solve [MITM attack][2] problem, and most existing solutions do not use out-of-band messages for the initial key exchange. The proposed design uses out-of-band messages or, in some cases, pre-existing secure and trusted connections for the initial key exchange.
