The complete source code for the Signal clients and the Signal server is available on GitHub. This enables interested parties to examine the code for security and correctness.”

This is actually the most important thing about Signal. You should never use cryptography apps that are closed source. If you can't read the source, it can't be trusted.

Everyone should learn how to use PGP, and post their public key so that people can actually use it to communicate with them.

I agree. And Telegram has not been audited. The two Russian brothers that own it(!) won’t post the source code. It has never been thoroughly audited by a neutral party. Nobody can say there are no backdoors.

“If it was able to be intercepted then they would have done so then IMHO ....... I’ll keep using Signal etc etc for ordering my take-out .

According to presstitutes an polidiots DDG, VPN’s, Signal and other such thangs using AES 256 encryption can be hacked ....... Why are they warning the folks they fear ?”


They don’t want Patriots to have secure comms, and we all know why.

Download Signal, while you stll can!!!

Another big red flag is that they are using 'roll-your-own' (i.e., proprietary) crypto protocols. That is a huge no-no. There are plenty of well-known, well-studied protocols out there. Only morons think they can do better by creating their own. Obscurity <> security
