How to Use Our Real-Time Communication Features: A Guide to End-to-End and Peer-to-Peer Modes on Our Website

Introduction

Welcome to our real-time communication features! If you are looking to have private one-on-one conversations with all communications kept encrypted, our communication tools are designed to meet your needs. This document will provide a detailed guide on how to use end-to-end and peer-to-peer modes on our website.

What is End-to-End Encryption?

End-to-end encryption is a method of securing communication wherein only the direct participants of the communication can read the message content. This means that even if servers process the information, they cannot decipher its content. This method of encryption offers the highest level of privacy protection to users.

Use Cases for End-to-End Mode

End-to-end encryption mode is suitable for communication environments requiring high security, such as:

  • Business negotiations
  • Private conversations
  • Transmission of sensitive data (such as financial information, personal data, etc.)

What is Peer-to-Peer Mode?

Peer-to-peer mode (P2P) is a way of directly connecting two communication participants, bypassing any intermediary servers to relay information. This method can reduce latency and improve communication efficiency.

Use Cases for Peer-to-Peer Mode

Peer-to-peer mode is particularly suitable for situations requiring high real-time performance, such as:

  • Video calls
  • Confidential text and image transmission
  • Real-time data exchange
