Abstract

The results of an architecture stability analysis of messaging systems with a decentralized node structure Briar and Bridgefy are presented. Mathematical models of target systems are developed and protocols for generating keys, establishing connections, and transferring data between the systems’ users are described. The key features of the architecture of messaging systems with a decentralized nodal structure are highlighted. The main classes of threats to target systems are given.
