Abstract
In an era marked by heightened concerns over privacy and security, the need for innovative approaches to data sharing platforms has become increasingly imperative. This paper presents StealthChat, a novel solution that combines steganography techniques with peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture to establish a secure and decentralized communication environment. Leveraging TypeScript, StealthChat offers users a seamless and intuitive interface for real-time data sharing while prioritizing privacy and confidentiality. The core architecture of StealthChat is built upon a P2P network model, enabling direct communication between users without reliance on centralized servers. Through dynamic peer discovery mechanisms and efficient data routing protocols, users can establish secure connections and exchange messages in real-time. This decentralized method lowers the risks connected with centralized data storage, making it less vulnerable to possible hacks or breaches while also improving scalability and fault tolerance.
Keywords: StealthChat, steganography, peer-to-peer, data sharing, privacy, security
