 Therefore, dealing with these in real-time
and in an accurate scale is a critical issue.
The information might come from Twitter,
Fake news fake URLs, WhatsApp, YouTube or
Facebook. It may appear to be an
spreads like authenticated source, but it could be fake,
virus making the situation much more
challenging to handle.
 Our objective is to create accountability to
every user who shares a forwarded
message, so as to be able to make the
them think twice before sending an
Proposed abusive message or forwarding a fake
new.
Solution
This is achieved Blockchain Technology
which enables easy identification of the
origin of the media post.
 “HASH INFO” FEATURE IN MESSAGING
APPS

Forwarded messages don’t have accountability which

leads to the problem of forwarding it too many times.
Working Process So to stop this from happening, we have created a way
of . identifying the senders through hash code which
can be found by selecting the message and clicking on
the hash info option. This displays the hash code as
well as the hash pointer of that message. identifying the
senders through hash code
 What is hash code and hash
pointer ?
HASH INFO contains information about the Hash
code and Hash pointer of a message
HASH INFO
HASH CODE refers to the unique identification
code for the selected message

HASH POINTER refers to the hash code of the

user that forwarded the message.
 A contains the “message information”, hash pointer of the
previous sender and the hash code of the current block.

 USE CASE

User goes through their User finds a message User clicks the message to
chats that is fake or abusive find the hash info
Hash info option available in Hash info of that message is Hash pointer can be reported
the options menu displayed to the user to trace the origin
 GENISIS BLOCK SECOND BLOCK

NOTE: After forwarding a message After forwarding the forwarded message

Hash code is not

generated for every
message but only when
a message is
forwarded.
Therefore the genisis
block is generated only
when someone
forwards something
 Prevention is better than CURE

It is difficult to verify whether a message is real or

fake but by reducing the count of people forwarding
fake messages, we will be able to trust the messages
that are being forwarded as every user will know that
Conclusion they are accountable whenever they forward a
message.

Thus the ”Hash info” feature will stop people from

sending fake news and helps us to identify every
person to which it has been sent as well as easy
identification of the source.
