Today, almost every one of us is living in three different worlds. How much time we spend in each world differs upon on the individual. Do you want to know about the 3 worlds? Let me explain.

1. Home – Here, you are living with your spouse/ kids/ parents or any combination of these three. You can call this world as your “Sweet Home”.

2. Workplace – Based on the nature of your job, either you will be commuting to your office on a daily basis or 2-3 times in a week. Mostly, people will spend 6 to 9 hours from Monday to Friday at their workplace. If you are a physician or a doctor, then you may need to work on weekends too, in case of an emergency. You will

3. Virtual/Digital – You can call this world with whatever name you like. Here, you are not making any face-to-face conversations with other people. Instead, you will be relying on the social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. to communicate with known as well as unknown people. That’s why you can call this world as a “digital world.”

Unlike the other two worlds, you cannot think of the digital world as a secure place. Because many eyes are continuously watching whatever information you are leaving on the web. And, they are clever enough to utilize that for their growth. The best example for this is the Cambridge Analytica Facebook scandal. Because the collected data was cleverly utilized for an undisclosed purpose.

Of course, you cannot avoid the digital world completely. That’s not possible. For example, you need to use the web on a regular basis for paying utility bills, shopping, money transfer, and more. But you should learn to protect your identities so that it cannot be misused. You might have heard the recent news about the security breach in MyFitnessApp which resulted in the hacking of username & passwords of more than 150 million accounts. Let’s assume that you are using the same login credentials to access your bank accounts. Just imagine what will happen if someone is able to access your bank account. Who will you blame for this? No one. Because you need to take the necessary steps to keep your data secure.

For that, the users need a trusted, secure and fail proof system for storing their identities, passwords, digital assets, and other valuable information. Using a centralized system is not advisable as the data may be lost if the centralized server is hacked by someone. That’s why Essentia provides a decentralized platform to keep all your valuable data in a secure manner. How will Essentia help to keep your data secure? Let me tell you an example. Let’s assume that you will be logging into 3 different bank accounts and 5 credit card accounts on a regular basis. To create and maintain separate login credentials will be a hectic task. And, using the same password for all accounts is not at all safe. By using Essentia, you can create a seed by utilizing the cryptographic concept of sign/verify/encrypt/decrypt. Now, you can use that single seed to access any type of online service without revealing the original login credentials. Sounds interesting? Read more at Telegram, ANN and Bounty Thread.
