Abstract:
Direct Messaging eXchange (DMX), a pioneering mobile chat application designed to address the
security and privacy requirements of military communication. In response to organizational policies
restricting the use of foreign-based messaging applications, DMX adopts a peer-to-peer design,
giving an indigenous solution to military personnel and their families. WebRTC is the foundational
architecture based on which secure communication takes place through the use of constant and
direct connections established between users. One of the outstanding features of DMX is its
provision for the privacy of user data. As such, the application utilizes a local database for the
storage of local messaging data on individual user devices, thereby eliminating the need for
centralized servers.
In addition, the encryption performed is reliant on WebRTC’s default use of Datagram Transport
Layer Security which ensures end to end data encryption. The project report also contains a bottom
to top evaluation of the development process, the engineering procedure, implementation
difficulties, and the application’s future trajectory.
It also examines the impact DMX has on supporting and fostering imaginative communities and
how its implementation might revolutionize principled engagement. Fully thorough testing and user
feedback have led to the compilation of this report, which proves that DMX can be successfully
deployed for broader collaboration among diverse artists. Thus, DMX is, generally, a secure, native,
and cross-platform messaging system developed to remedy the limitations required for secure
communication between the military and ordinary people and dissidents
