Abstract
In the light of recent war crimes and data piracy conspiracies, privacy is of utmost importance to an organization and even to an individual. The majority of the population is dependent on third-party services for their daily communication. Albeit these major corporations advertise “secure” means of chat transfer, they install various kinds of backdoors to sell the user’s data to advertisers. Under the notion of going “Aatmanirbhar” i.e., Make in India, we have developed an indie solution without incorporating any third-party services or APIs. “Aatmanirbhar Sanchar” aims at providing users with a real-time off-the-grid, secure, and anonymous messaging service. It features an End-to-End encrypted transmission of messages and data files likewise. This is achieved by combining the open-source AES algorithm with a self-developed XOR encryption process.
