Description

Element is a communications platform with security at its core, built on Matrix: a decentralised and end-to-end encrypted protocol. Element brings your teams together, boosts productivity and workplace satisfaction, while enabling complete ownership of your data. Easily collaborate with your partners, suppliers or clients with video calls and instant messaging: like email for the 21st century. You can even connect your Slack, MS Teams, WhatsApp accounts. On the other hand Element can be closed for high security environments using secure border and cross domain gateways, and even air-gapped deployments. Being built on Matrix, there is no single point of failure for the network thanks to the decentralised network architecture, making it perfect for mission-critical environments. For full data sovereignty, install Element into your own data centre or on-premise. Alternatively, let us manage your setup in our secure Element Cloud, in a region of your choice. In Forrester’s words: Element is a great fit for: "...organizations that prioritize flexibility, federation, and data sovereignty". Please contact us to explore how your business can benefit from Element.

Description

The innovative messaging platform stands out by eliminating user IDs entirely. Unlike other applications such as Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, and Cwtch that rely on user identifiers, SimpleX takes a different route by not employing any form of user IDs or even random numbers, significantly enhancing user privacy. Users frequently inquire about how SimpleX manages message delivery without user identifiers. To facilitate message delivery, SimpleX employs temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers for message queues, which are unique to each connection, ensuring that no long-term identifiers are utilized. You have the flexibility to select which server(s) will handle your incoming messages, while your contacts will determine the servers used to send messages to them, meaning that each conversation may operate through two different servers. This unique structure effectively minimizes the risk of metadata leakage at the application level. In addition to this, users can further enhance their privacy and safeguard their IP addresses by routing their connections through Tor when accessing messaging servers. Only client devices retain user profiles, contacts, and group information, while messages are secured with a robust two-layer end-to-end encryption system. This approach not only prioritizes user privacy but also ensures a safer messaging experience overall.
