Unlike centralized networks (A), which depend on a central server to relay messages, peer-to-peer networks (B) encrypt and broadcast every message to all participant nodes. A node is a computer or smartphone that relays messages to other nodes or temporarily stores them for disconnected peers. Even when all nodes can access your messages, the content is encrypted so that only you and the intended recipients can read them.

### How does Status protect my privacy?

Status implements end-to-end encryption (E2EE) using [cryptographic keys][understand-your-status-keys-and-recovery-phrase]. When you send a message, the message is encrypted using the recipient's public key. The only way to decrypt the message and read its content is by using the recipient's private key. Even if a malicious actor intercepts the message, they can't read its content as they don't have the private key.

As a community owner, you can use channels to break down a large community into smaller, more focused sub-groups. With Status, you can [configure channel permissions](./configure-channel-permissions.md) based on token ownership. For example, you can make a public channel private or view-only by only allowing holders of specific tokens to join or post.

- Members can't access messages over one month because the [Community History Service][about-the-community-history-service] is not running.
