ABSTRACT
Decentralized Operation make use of peer-to-peer networks, this ensures that no network failure can do due to
central node failure. Block chain serves as an unalterable ledger which allows messaging to take place in a
decentralized manner. A decentralized operation for communication and resource sharing is need in present’s
world, where keeping data on a centralized server can be unsafe and expensive experience. With the help of
various consensus, we can apply different ways to share resources and communicate. Together with Block
chain and Decentralized Applications, we can produce a secure and dependable messaging application that
overcomes the draw backs of traditional messaging applications. In decentralized systems, the objects at the
different situations frequently differ. Each position controls only a subset of the decision variables but is
affected by the opinions made at the other levels.
Keywords: Decentralize System, Peer To Peer, Block Chain,Messaging, Chat.
I. INTRODUCTION
In Decentralized Structure there’s no centralized server for conversation. Clients communicate directly with
other client or clients. By allowing the chat clients to discover and establish connections with one another,
unless the physical network hardware or else power supply is interrupted, there will be no disruption of
communications between users. The index table is updated regularly across all clients or peers. When a
consumer receives disconnected from the network the access from the index table gets deleted instantly. The
communication among the peers is direct, which does not require any centralized server. Thus failure of a client
will not disrupt communication with other independent clients. The application is independent of any failures
or disruption of any of its client or user.
As all of us know, traditional chat applications are centralized i.e., all the data is stored on a centralized server.
Therefore major problem of this structure is, if the central server fails then whole network collapses. For
example, WhatsApp server stored all the data on a central server, if in case that server is destroyed then there
can be a loss of user data, or they can even leak the user information stored on the server. To overcome this,
our project makes the use of decentralized Application approach (dApps). In our application all the user data is
stored on a block which is connected to other blocks forming a chain. As the name suggests, a decentralized
application does not have a centralized server.
It is basically a peer-to-peer network. Also the data that is stored in block is almost impossible to view as a very
secure encryption and hashing functions (256 bits) are used. Also is a hacker tries to make changes to the
information in block then, he/she will have to make changes to all the copies of that block on whole block chain
network and that can be quite impossible. Though block are on all nodes, they cannot access the information in
it, only the person for whom the information if can access it. P2P applications are distributed systems without
any central control, where all the peers are equivalent in functionality. Recent surveys show that P2P
applications generate a high percentage of traffic on the Internet.

II. LITURATURE REVIEW

Several industries are also pursuing Decentralized-based technology solutions to improve efficiency,
streamline business processes and build trust between parties with little or no knowledge of each other. A
peer-to-peer chat system on the other hand aims at replacing the centralized server with a distributed server
residing at every user device. Paper [1] proposed a research summarizes and put forward the concept of chat
application using blockchain can be more useful for the co-operate users as most of the chat applications are
not be able to view chat history in [Link] proper implementation of smart contract, encryption, hashing,
and multifactor authentication more secure platform can be created. Paper [2] and paper [4] proposed the P2P
features and the need for privacy, data sec Such P2P decentralized systems have gone up significant adherence
now-a-days because it is more secure and scalable. Paper [3] proposed an Overview of Blockchain Technology:
Architecture, Consensus.
By Considering paper [5] peer to peer reference architecture is [Link] [6] proposed a more applications of
the blockchain like Supply chain management , Improved record keeping [Link] Based Approaches
are use to Improving Data Security in Message Communication between ACT and Aircraft using Private
Decentralized. This paper has provided a roadmap of solutions to address the aforementioned issues
concerning data storage and communication using Decentralized-Based approaches by presenting an overview
of the different phases of communication between the Flight and ACT.
In recent years Decentralized becomes more and more growing technology that provides real solutions to
common problems. As it has become the best technology, most of the chat applications also getting use it. Few
applications like DUST, [Link], E-CHAT. TELEGRAM. and SYLO, etc. Most of the chat applications use in
organizations such as Microsoft teams, Skype for business and WhatsApp business API is still not implemented
with Decentralized technology.
DUST - Decentralized-based message application that uses public Decentralized (Ethereum). This app has a
strong focus on privacy and security with several features. The main feature of this application is the timed
message deletion where your message self destructed after a given time.
E-Chat - This app is more than a simple messenger program that has built using Ethereum Decentralized. E chat
can also process Ethereum transactions and comes equipped with a multi-coin cryptocurrency wallet.
Skype for business currently not available private Decentralized technology to manage the organization's
communication.
Microsoft Teams - Currently unavailable private Decentralized technology.

III. METHODOLOGY
The whole idea of this proposed application is to avoid a centralized system (registration, login and buddy list)
as that found in Skype (Baset and Schulzrinne, 2006; Azab et al., 2012). Using Skype, during registration, user
profile will be stored in a centralized database and one can use the credential to login at anytime and anywhere
as preferred. This certainly provides certain level of robustness although the question arises as to how secure
the centralized database can be to prevent from attacks. Recently, a study on decentralized system was
proposed but only for the purposed of improving the buddy list (Kundu, 2012). The idea was about developing
a robust index system using distributed hash table for decentralized chat application. An indexing system is
responsible for storing IP address and port of all users once they joined the chat. Users initialize their user
B. To cater some of these problems, in our proposed application, we come out with the following principle
ideas:
• Pure P2P architecture with no centralized server, peers’ profiles is managed locally by user
• User registrations are done among themselves and therefore, multiple registrations are needed for
communicating with different users
• User login is done on each peer basis and it follows a two- way authentication protocol
• Message is encrypted prior exchanging between two or more peers

Another important feature of any chat application would be buddy listing. In this application, during
initialization process, the system reads through the buddy list from local hash table and automatically
determines their (device) availabilities by contacting them based on the IP address and port number of their
devices. However, it could also be the case that someone else is on the device, for that we have an
authentication procedure which makes use of username and password. Furthermore, message exchange is only
allowed after peers have authenticated to each other. Unlike Skype, when user initializes the application.
 USER WILL SHARE HIS/HER PUBLIC KEY
 USER WILL ENTER FRIEND’S PUBLIC KEYINTO PRIVATE KEY FIELD AND CONNECT
 AFTER CONNECTION THEY CAN CHAT
