Our engineers have recently updated the Bleep core engine to address offline forward secrecy. We’ve discussed forward secrecy before, but this is a major overhaul to the fundamental way we package and transmit messages. It also introduces something that no one else has figured out how to do (as far as we know): providing forward…
Private Messaging App Rolls Out for iOS and Adds “Whisper” Messages Since our open alpha release last September, a lot has happened in the private messaging space. Services have come and gone, some have been breached and patched, and in many cases, users have been left feeling violated, or at the very least, changed what…
As we continue to create our device-to-device messaging App, Bleep, we’ve made it a priority to provide our users the features they’re used to seeing in standard messaging apps, but with a peer-to-peer twist. Today, we’re excited to bring photo support to Bleep: send and receive photos on Android, and receive-only on Windows and Mac.
Today we’re releasing the latest version of the Bleep Alpha that helps makes the mobile version streamlined for sustained usage. While we’re still making headway in that journey, today’s latest update to the app brings a significant reduction in data — specifically for our mobile users.
Secure messaging client Bleep now allows for asynchronous chat. Communicating privately with your friends, coworkers and family isn’t easy as you may think. While sending a “private” message may seem secure, the reality is that message still lives on a server somewhere, remaining vulnerable to third-party infiltration. In the past year alone, we have seen…
When our team started developing Bleep, we had to reshape the way online communications take place to make them more secure. As a result, we had to forgo the convenience of offline messaging – without a server to store the messages, we needed a little more time to iron out the details of sending and…
Private Voice & Text App Opens Test Community to All Interested Parties Communicating with friends, family and coworkers is easier than ever, but at what cost? The Internet promotes the free exchange of information, but we often sacrifice privacy for the sake of convenience. Cloud-based services store personal information and private moments on servers, making…
Speak Freely – It’s Person to Person. The BitTorrent Bleep Pre-Alpha will be available on Windows desktop to start. Easy to use, Bleep offers freedom to communicate over text and voice, person to person.
Why do we need another chat application? It’s a legitimate question. Even better: What can BitTorrent offer that isn’t already available? Well, let’s take a look at this category. Messaging and voice applications currently available all rely on central servers. These central repositories of metadata are the target of choice for snooping government agencies and…
BitTorrent’s Jaehee Lee offers insight into the development of BitTorrent’s new chat application, focused on how we are addressing the various needs of privacy. We’ve just released an internal Alpha and wanted to share some of the key learnings from our development process. When our product and engineering teams sat down for our initial brainstorming…
