The Galixsys Communicator offering is an encrypted peer-to-peer messaging system that does not store any messages on any centralized server. The offering consists of two separate applications: A standard messaging app (GalixiCom) and a router app (GalixiHub). Each instance of GalixiHub is run on the specific hardware that the administrator (or “World” owner) chooses. While messages may be cached when recipients are off-line, messages are not permanently stored on GalixiHub. This reduces significantly the opportunity for any third-party to mine or otherwise have access to what should be private communications.
GalixiCom is the main application and interface that members use to communicate. GalixiCom is used like most other messaging apps. The difference is how the app sends and receives messages. Messages are not stored on a central server for retrieval by the recipient(s); instead messages are routed to the recipient(s) through each “World” (an instance of GalixiHub) that has been setup by the World owner on their own physical device.
In order to use GalixiCom to message, someone would need to setup an instance of GalixiHub to form a “world” or community. Each instance of GalixiHub is its own world, and a user of GalixiCom can join multiple worlds. Setup of a world via GalixiHub is intended to be accessible to anyone with a basic understand of network administration. A user who has hosted an on-line game on their computer should have the expertise to setup their own World.
Note: This release is an ALPHA version. GalixiHub is still in development and there will be bugs, crashes and unusually behavior. As improvements are made and features are added, updates will be provided.
