A new version of the decentralized communication platform Jami, code-named \"Maloya,\" is now available. The project aims to create a communication system that operates in a P2P mode, allowing for both large group communication and individual calls, while providing a high level of privacy and security. Jami, formerly known as Ring and SFLphone, is part of the GNU project and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. Binary builds are prepared for GNU\/Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, RHEL, etc.), Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Android TV. <\/p>\n

Unlike traditional communication clients, Jami can send messages without relying on external servers by establishing direct connections between users using end-to-end encryption (the keys are only present on the client side) and X.509 certificate-based authentication. In addition to secure messaging, the program allows for voice and video calls, creating teleconferences, file sharing, and organizing shared access to files and screen content. <\/p>\n

Initially, the project developed as a software phone based on the SIP protocol, but it has long since evolved into a P2P model while retaining compatibility with SIP and the ability to make calls using this protocol. The application supports various codecs (G711u, G711a, GSM, Speex, Opus, G.722) and protocols (ICE, SIP, TLS), ensuring reliable encryption for video, voice, and messages. Among its features are call forwarding, call holding, call recording, call history with search functionality, automatic volume control, and integration with GNOME and KDE address books. <\/p>\n

Jami employs a decentralized global authentication mechanism for user identification, based on the implementation of a contact list in the form of a blockchain (utilizing developments from the Ethereum project). One user identifier (RingID) can be used simultaneously on multiple devices, allowing users to connect regardless of which device is active, without the need to maintain different identifiers on a smartphone and PC. The address book responsible for translating names into RingID is stored on a group of nodes supported by various participants, and it is also possible to run your own node to maintain a local copy of the global address book (Jami also implements a separate internal address book maintained by the client). <\/p>\n

Jami addresses users using the OpenDHT protocol (distributed hash table), which does not require centralized registries with user information. The core of Jami is the background process jami-daemon, which handles connections, communication organization, and works with video and audio. Interaction with jami-daemon is organized via the LibRingClient library, which serves as the foundation for building client software and provides all standard functionalities not tied to user interfaces and platforms. Client applications are built on top of LibRingClient, making it relatively easy to create and maintain various interfaces. <\/p>\n
